Beloved Nollywood icon Sola Sobowale has once again moved hearts, not through a film scene this time, but through a powerful tribute to her late parents, honoring the values they instilled in her and the legacy they left behind. Speaking with deep emotion and gratitude, the award-winning actress described her parents as her greatest foundation: her father, a retired school principal, and her mother, a committed school mistress. “My parents gave me everything. My father, a retired principal. My mother, a dedicated mistress. May their souls rest in peace,” she said. “They showed me what it means to work hard and raise children with purpose.” For Sobowale, education was not just a path, it was a mission passed down from one generation to the next. “They didn’t just raise us, they gave us a legacy. That legacy was education.” In an era where fame often overshadows values, Sola Sobowale reminds us of what truly matters: knowledge, discipline, and purpose. “Education is the one thing nobody can ever take away from you. It is not just a certificate. It’s the key that unlocks your voice and power.” Her words echo a deeper truth that resonates across cultures that education is not about degrees alone, but about dignity, confidence, and the capacity to stand for something greater than yourself. Now a mother and a seasoned performer, Sobowale proudly adds that she has passed on this same torch to her children: “That’s what they gave me. That’s what I wanted to give my children too, and I have. In paying tribute to her parents, Sola Sobowale also gives voice to millions raised by teachers, civil servants, and unsung heroes who quietly built futures without noise or applause. It’s not just a personal story, it’s a universal reminder that legacy isn’t about money or fame, but about principles, sacrifice, and passing on what truly matters.
