Nollywood actor Gabriel Afolayan has shared a thought-provoking perspective on the popular adage about waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel.
The actor posted stylish photos of himself on Instagram, expressing why he no longer aligns with the saying.
Gabriel explained that waiting for light at the end of the tunnel is misguided when one can create light throughout the journey. He emphasized the importance of finding light and enjoyment during the process, rather than focusing solely on the destination.
He further argued that not all tunnels have light at the end, urging people to abandon the phrase and embrace hard work and self-determination.
“Stepping away from metaphor, Light at the end of the tunnel? The fVck do I need a light at the end of a tunnel for? No, get that light inside the tunnel. Abeg Abi na end of the tunnel, I go follow to reach the end of the tunnel ?
So let there be light (enjoyment) through the process (tunnel/work) of getting to the end of the tunnel.
Better put, it should be that there is light at the end of a dark tunnel, which is not true in itself literarily because the end of a dark tunnel can also be as dark as dark. FOH e fi Awon owe yi lorun le ke mu ise se loju pali.”
Recall that in 2022, anonymous Instagram blogger Gistlovers announced that Gabriel had welcomed twins with another woman while still married. According to the controversial blog, his wife had dragged him to court to make him sign the divorce papers so she could be free.
