Omoni Oboli: Keep Pushing for Success

Popular actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has encouraged creatives to stay hungry for growth. She said they should not relax after reaching success.

At a recent event, Oboli talked about the need to keep looking ahead and set new goals.

She said, “I don’t look at what is behind me. I look at what is in front of me. As a creative person, don’t get high on your own supply. Don’t sit back and say, ‘I did this amazing work,’ and sit there with it. Appreciate the moment, but move on quickly. Because the truth is, if you don’t get hungry again, you don’t get fed.”

Filmmaking as a Responsibility

Oboli also shared her view on filmmaking. She sees it as a duty that goes beyond her own goals. She believes that the success of her work affects the lives and dreams of others.

“For me, I take filmmaking as almost a ministry. It’s not just something I do because a lot of destinies are tied to mine. And I must win, for us. YouTube is a way for me to win, and when I win, my people win. It’s very serious.”
