Why I Changed My Mind from Japa-ing - Lilian Afegbai

One of the very beautiful things about life and what a lot of people hold on to is the hope that their tomorrow will be better than their today. Sometimes holding on to that hope is very hard, but life can and does surprise, and a decision you had set your mind on can change over the course of months when a better path opens up. That is what happened to Nollywood actress Lilian Afegbai who took to social media to share her testimony of why she wanted to quit acting and relocate (japa) out of this country earlier this year, and what eventually changed for her. Here's what Lilian Afegbai said.

Speaking about her testimony and what made her change her mind from relocating and quitting acting, Lilian Afegbai said:

LILIAN AFEGBAI: Testimony Time

Beginning of this year I wanted to Quit Acting, Entertainment Industry in general and just focus on my businesses and probably relocate [japa] and start from scratch. I spoke to God, I was Intentional about everything I asked of him. He listened to me and showed up.

Last year was horrible for me, I was in and out of depression. I felt horrible. Long story short, The only person that can really fix your situation is God. The people that showed up for me this year, some of them never knew me but they could spot my talent just by watching Akanchawa baddie story.

He used people I least expected to remind me of who he is. I just want to say I’m grateful for not quitting. Please even when it feels like it’s all over, Don’t give up. I know it’s hard, but truly when you hand it over to God. Go and sleep and the rest is history.
