Renowned Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo (also known as Omoborty) recently shared a powerful Instagram reflection on the emotional and financial toll of always helping others, cautioning against sacrificing personal well-being in the name of generosity.

Her Message

Reflecting on her own experience, Biodun warned:

“If you keep helping everybody, one day you’ll become the one who needs help… and they’ll ask what you did with your money.”

She also recounted a conversation with an entertainment colleague overwhelmed by over 560 DM requests for help, prompting her to reconsider her own giving habits.

Broader Reflections

– She urges Nigerians to be discerning, recognizing that the economic climate and widespread poverty make it hard to know who truly needs help.

– Biodun stresses the importance of self-care, financial responsibility, and the reality that generosity shouldn’t be driven by guilt.
