Actress Sonia Ogiri has undergone surgery to remove the scar on her face.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, the actress spoke about how she battled with the scar which traumatised her.
According to her, the mark on her face made her lose confidence and led to nights of endless tears.
In a post titled, “My Scar, My Pain”, Sonia detailed her experience looking for jobs and relating with people while dealing with the traumatising effects of the scar.
She wrote, “It all started 2014. I lived with this total stranger called scar since 2014, and ever since then, I lost all confidence even with the least things. I remember when I decided to settle in the USA, looking for job was traumatising because I would relate every rejection to the scar on my face.
“Close friends in the movie industry all knew when it happened. I totally lost it. Nights I would cry endlessly, and how I tagged myself as ugly because it’s my face we talking about. Days I would feel like ending it all because I refused to accept my reality.”
Speaking further, she said that despite not being the “make up kind of person” she had to start wearing cosmetics to temporarily cover up the scar.
Fellow celebrities like Chizzy Alichi, Cha-cha Eke, Daddy Freeze, Angela Okorie and others wish Sonia a speedy recovery in the comment section of the post.
