Foluke Daramola Reveals Her Mother's Significant Contribution in Saving Her Marriage
Nollywood Actress Foluke Daramola-Salako Honours Her Late Mother's Legacy
In a heartfelt tribute, Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola-Salako has shared how her late mother, Mrs. Aderonke Daramola (née Osobu), had a profound influence on her life and marriage.
Foluke credits her mother's steadfastness and resilience as key to sustaining her marriage, especially during difficult times. Her mother battled a stroke for five years but remained faithful and grateful to God throughout her illness, demonstrating remarkable strength and spirituality[1].
Mrs. Daramola, who served as a vice principal and was also a reverend, showed a life grounded in discipline, education, and faith[4]. After losing her husband at the young age of 38, she single-handedly raised her family without remarrying, a testament to her resilience and commitment to values that deeply shaped Foluke’s upbringing and perspective on life[1].
Foluke described her mother as her best friend and her sole genuine confidante, highlighting the emotional and moral support her mother provided throughout her life. She openly shared that it was because of her mother that she could endure challenges in her marriage and life when she otherwise might have given up[1][4].
The respect and love Foluke holds for her mother is evident in how she and her siblings marked the final burial ceremony to honour their late mother’s life and legacy[2][3]. The influence of her mother’s teachings and example continues to guide Foluke both personally and professionally.
Interestingly, Foluke's mother was a very beautiful woman in her youth, but she never underwent cosmetic procedures[5]. Instead, she possessed a natural beauty that Foluke admires and aspires to emulate. Despite her mother's pain, she remained full of gratitude, according to the actress[6]. Foluke praises her mother's unwavering faith and dedication to God[7].
In the current times, Foluke misses her mother deeply and finds it hard to find genuine people to talk to[8]. The void left by her mother's passing is a constant reminder of the love, support, and guidance she provided throughout her life.
