She said her passion kept calling her back to the set. She believes her late son would have wanted her to continue. So she chose to work again and celebrate his short life.
Nollywood still mourning young losses
Her return comes as Nollywood still mourns young children lost this year. Parents in the industry have asked for prayers and privacy often. Ogunmola’s update adds a hopeful note to that hard season.
In early September, actor Ibrahim Chatta also lost his young son. His post drew heavy sympathy from Nollywood colleagues. Her story now shows how parents try to move forward.
Ogunmola stressed that God would handle what she cannot explain. She said work will help her keep her mind steady. She thanked everyone who sent gifts, calls and kind prayers.
The video showed her in a simple outfit on a film location. She smiled but her voice stayed low. She asked viewers to keep praying for her home.
Colleagues are expected to welcome her on coming shoots. Many had paused joint projects after the tragedy. Her return means those titles can now move faster.
She warned that grief does not vanish because someone resumes work. She said some days will still feel heavy. She promised to rest whenever those days come.
For now, the actress wants her family to stay off public drama. She prefers fans to follow her films and pray quietly. She said that is the best gift for her.
Early comments on the clip praised her courage. Some thanked her for showing real pain.
