Nollywood actress, Sonia Ogiri, has revealed her past traumas with a scar on her face.

The US-based actress made a post on her Instagram page, disclosing how she underwent a cosmetic surgery to reduce the scar.
Ogiri, on Saturday, made a post on her page tirkeed, “My Scar, My Pain”.
According to the actress, her work as an actress became a struggle and even when she relocated to the States, it was hard getting a job because of her facial scar.
Her caption read, “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.”
Ogiri also talked about how she was unconsciously mocked by her friends, adding that those words were hurtful but she pretended to be ok.
“For some that always tell me ‘I love your tribal mark’, you hurt my feelings but never took it to heart. I can’t wait to see my results guys,” she said.
