In a recent chat with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, she actress opened up in why she quitted acting 15 years ago and relocated to United Kingdom for menial jobs.
She said: “Children did not ask to be born. When you decide to have children, you must be ready to take full responsibility for those children.
“They are beautiful creatures. You don’t bring them to this world to suffer. You don’t bring them to this world for anybody to take care of them. You brought them. Then stay with them and do the work.
“The reason I left Nigeria was to guide my children, to make them somebody in life, to give them the legacy I could give and to nurture and take care of them.
“So that was why I left. And to God be the glory, they are successful now,” she said.
When asked to share her experience in the United Kingdom, Sola Sobowale said, “I was earning (N)800,000 back in the year 2000. So when I came back to Lagos, I came back with about N5 million. And I left that for 7.50 pounds per hour job in England.
“And I’m proud. And there is nothing this woman cannot do because I know what is called dignity in labour.
“I will sweep from here to Kenya or Ghana as long as it puts food on my table and put clothes on my children and shelter on my head,” she said.
