But this isn’t just Edith’s story. It’s the story of countless creatives who put their dreams on pause to raise families, pursue education, or simply survive. And it’s the story of what happens when the dream refuses to die.
“The God of second chances is truly the God we serve 🙌🏽… Delay is not denial,” Omoni wrote in a deeply personal post.
“I, too, had to press pause on my Nollywood dreams for over a decade, for school, marriage, and motherhood… I know this feeling. That quiet longing. That hope held close.”

Edith’s return is marked by the kind of quiet grace that hits harder than any spotlight. Her new film, More Than Closure, follows the journey of a pregnant woman abandoned by her husband, only to discover a message from the past that changes everything.
Starring alongside her are Ekama Etim-Inyang, Ray Adeka, and Tracey George in a story about grief, healing, and the beauty of new beginnings.
And it’s not just resonating with Omoni. Audiences are flocking to YouTube to celebrate this return, leaving thousands of comments that speak to the emotional impact of Edith’s performance and the film’s narrative.
