Nigeria-based Ghanaian actress Juliet Ibrahim has revisited her painful story, recalling how she grew up and lived in four countries as a refugee. The beautiful actress recounted her story while advising Nigerians to toe the path of peace following the last Presidential election in the country.
Sharing some of her words of encouragement, the actress said that as a child, she grew up in four different countries. Her family relocated three times due to unfortunate circumstances.
Experience in Four Countries as a Refugee
She narrates: “As a child, I grew up and lived in four different countries, and due to unfortunate circumstances, my family had to relocate thrice. I experienced three civil wars and witnessed the harassment of my parents and relatives. I still remember these moments vividly, and I relive these memories every election or political unrest. I felt traumatised by the sound of fireworks, and I do not wish this experience upon anyone. So I tell you, brothers and sisters, that violence is never the answer”.
Meanwhile, the screen diva is having a swell time in Mexico, where she celebrates her birthday with her family and friends.
“It has been fun celebrating my birthday with family members and friends in Mexico. We visited theme parks and had a swell time on zip lines, experiencing water activities and walking through caves. So many beautiful moments that I could not even capture on my phone. It has been fun all the way,’ she wrote on IG.
Juliet Ibrahim, who started her acting career in 2005, starring in her debut movie, “Crime to Christ,” was born to a Lebanese father and a Ghanaian-Liberian mother. She is the eldest child and has two sisters, including actress Sonia Ibrahim, and a brother. Due to civil wars, Juliet and her siblings spent the longest part of their childhood in Lebanon and the Ivory Coast.
