Nollywood actress and humanitarian Foluke Daramola-Salako has revealed how her late mother’s influence played a pivotal role in sustaining her marriage.
Speaking during a recent podcast, the actress described her mother as her best friend and highlighted the strength and values she instilled, which helped her navigate marital challenges. Her mother battled a stroke for five years before passing away.
“My mom was my best friend and everything. She was sick for five years, she had a stroke. The year she got her visa during COVID-19 was the year she got sick. I don’t think there are two people that can be like my mother,” Daramola-Salako said.
She added, “The truth of the matter is; it is because of my mother that I’m still married because left to me alone there are so many things that I can say I can’t take anymore, but my mom stood for everything right.”
The actress praised her mother’s unwavering faith, noting that even in pain, she remained grateful to God. “She lost my father when she was 38 years old and never remarried. My mom’s life was sold out to God. Even in her pain, my mom would still praise God,” she said emotionally.
Fondly remembering her mother’s natural beauty, Daramola-Salako noted that she had never undergone any cosmetic procedures. “She was a very beautiful woman when she was young, she didn’t do tummy tuck or BBL but she had everything. I thank God because I’m sure she’s in a better place because the pain was so much,” she added.
The actress’s tribute highlights the deep bond she shared with her mother and the lasting impact of her guidance on her personal life.
