"Beautifully Coloured’ is a children’s picture book on kindness, diversity, inclusion, and positive affirmations which can help create more awareness about diversity and inclusion for younger children in elementary schools."

"It’s not in my character to disappoint people especially the opposite sex. And again, it’s better for me to end a bad relationship rather than hanging on to it and regretting thereafter, or ending up in marriage and recording a broken home. I guess, these are ‘bad men’ that are not meant to come on board. If I disappoint them, I have no regrets whatsoever"

"Everything good needs maintenance otherwise, that’s the end. If you don’t maintain your skin and everything around you, they get spoilt easily. We have harsh weather here. For somebody like me with my natural fair skin, I have to maintain it."

"There’s one thing I’m praying to God to change about me and that’s what I don’t like about myself. I’m too trusting. I trust a lot and it backfires on me especially with women. People come to me and start lying and I don’t expect them to lie. I just trust people, I trust them with money and it backfires. I just have to change in that area to be on a safer side. Not as if I’m gullible but sometimes you miscalculate. It happens most when you’re dealing with people you already know. I do not want to mention names."

"I believe I have always been in the limelight. It’s just that modeling didn’t give me much publicity when I started out. But like I said, I got into the acting profession in 1997 and then, I guess, I didn’t have enough experience. The first two jobs I did were not rewarding at all, as one of the producers absconded with my fee. The second job was not encouraging to me, resulting in my taking a break for some time. When I came back, I did movies like, Married to a Witch, From Grace to Grass. And these movies, I would say, brought me into limelight in the acting."

"A house divided against itself cannot stand."

"Experience is actually the best teacher; nobody really tells you the truth. You have to go through the experience to find out what others are suffering from."

"Young people need to take a moment and reflect on the cost of their lives and the value they bring into the world, their communities, and humanity."

"We are not doing our movies the way our Hollywood counterparts are doing their own. I don't think anything good can come out of our movies that takes less than a month to be shot. I am not in support of such unprofessional way of carrying guns and celebrating ritualism."

"It is not advisable to marry without dating. How do you explain his character or personality? I would rather marry a man who genuinely loves me; it is not just about paying my bride price but staying married for eternity is also very important."

"I do not have friends, I do not need them but music. It has been a healer for me for a very long time. I love all genres of music and I appreciate a lot of artistes, both local and international. You will never catch me hating on another being."

"Islam I was taught teaches me that we are judged on our intentions by Allah alone. What’s within, not what you see. Not looking for acceptance from anyone. I want people to live their life’s to its full potentials."

"I can't deny that I have a pretty face and that has added to the things I have achieved so far but I have also worked really hard to get to where I am. Even as a beauty queen, one has to be very intelligent. One cannot wear the crown simply because one is pretty. One has to possess other outstanding qualities. I have worked really hard since I came into Nollywood in 2011 and I have been consistent. I am not just sitting pretty or using my beauty to create a path with no skill or brilliancy"

"When it comes to relationships, I do not think it is right to disgrace oneself over one. For me, what will work will work and vice versa. I will never fight over a man whoever it is. It is better I walk out of the relationship than to embarrass myself over a man. If he can get to the point of letting me fight for him, then he is not worth it. It’s better to walk away than to fight and embarrass myself. I think it is very disgraceful to fight over a man."

"My life as an actor has been amazing because I have been getting jobs I never expected. I love what I do and I am good at it. I have yet to get to the point where I can say I make enough money, but people appreciate my acting skills and pay me."

"I knew that to live a fulfilling life I had to live a purposeful life; a life of service."

"I'm happy to see people shaking the tables. I'm happy to see people being fearless and finally knowing that their voices mean something and that they stand for something."

"I do not pay attention to negativity,if I dwell in that, I cannot move forward."

"There is still some love out there even though people try to deny and say there is no more love, there is still love."

"P.S so you know, a lot of single parent (male or female) do a great job providing for themselves and children than you who sits in a miserable, horrible, heartbreaking relationship. We are not to be defined by our relationship status! Your dedication, hardwork, persistence to your existence in this world should be your focus. Just because a lot of us don’t share our life story to the public does not mean we are not survivors. Face your life! Face your work! Be a great example to others! Be remembered more for the good and not bad."

"Worry less of what the next fellow is doing. Judge less, focus on you and you alone, and watch great things happen to you. As Muslims do know, during the month of Ramadan, the Heavens are opened to accept our supplications and prayers and Hell is Closed and satan is caged down there."

"To all my GROWN sexy ladies ❤️. Thinking about sending your nudes to that guy? Your crush may have a “confidant” who has a “confidant” who has a girlfriend he doesn’t hide anything from, who has a sister…..I’m sure you get my drift. Before you go ahead, be ABSOLUTELY sure you know who you are dealing with. Even when you are, anything could go wrong. His phone could get into anyone else’s hands. But as a GROWN WOMAN, if you have considered all that could go wrong and still decide to send him that picture or video to spice things up, be safe. Crop your face""

"Some men think they can toy with women’s emotions. What goes around comes around baby. Karma will soon come for you. When you watch Yoruba movies and people are having issues, they will tell them to go and look for who they offended. Where will you start from? Sometimes, I don’t feel sorry for some men when I hear women are showing them pepper. You are the ones creating monsters. If the shoe fits, please feel free to wear it. And catwalk in it if you like. And to my sisters, if he’s making you cry more than he’s making you laugh, please carry your bags and leave! Protect your sanity"

"Regardless of what it is, where I am, what I achieved, whenever, wherever, I want to be able to wake up in the morning, look at myself in the mirror and say: “You are not doing badly Damilola”. So, basically, I would want to, at all times, be happy with where I am."
