Narrating her ordeal, she wrote: “Woke up today and couldn’t feel any part of my body. For a second, I felt lifeless. I still struggled and went to my stores to do inventory and a few interviews for incoming employees, and that was when I slumped.

“All through December, I worked every single day, and even when my staff travelled for the season celebration, I still kept working. No days off, no stretches, no nothing… just a walking corps working tirelessly to cater for others, forgetting myself.

“I did over 32 tests today, and all came out negative, including cancer, fibroid, liver, kidney, malaria, typhoid, etc. I guess God took proper care of my organs while I neglected my body.

“I am typing this from a sick bed, but I will be fine because the God that protects the vulnerable kids I struggle for will never fail me.

They said I’m extremely exhausted and need proper bed rest. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your constant protection over my life.”

Nollywood Actress, Sarah Martins Exposes Staff Who Stole ₦3 Million From Her Bank Account (Video)

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has accused a newly hired staff member of making unauthorized transfers totaling ₦3 million from her account, an incident she detailed in a video shared online.

In the video, Martins said she employed a 20-year-old man as her videographer and business sales manager about two weeks earlier.

She claimed that ₦2 million was transferred from her Zenith Bank account on December 22, followed by another ₦1 million shortly after.

According to Martins, she initially suspected a banking error when she noticed the first transaction and did not immediately link it to the staff member. She explained that the transfer allegedly occurred during a high-profile event she attended earlier in the month, which delayed her suspicion.

The actress, who appeared visibly distressed in the video as bystanders tried to calm her down, later apologised publicly to Zenith Bank for initially doubting the institution. She commended the bank for what she described as its swift response and detection of irregular activity.

Martins also said the experience has made her more cautious about future hires, especially as she continues to engage in charity and business activities.

It is important to note that the claims were made solely in the video shared by the actress, and no official confirmation or court ruling has been issued regarding the alleged theft.

The movie star said she asked a fine girl where she sees herself in 5 years, and the lady confidently and arrogantly told her she wishes to go to Turkey to redo her body.

It Doesn’t Guarantee A Relationship – Actress Sarah Martin Kicks Against Biblical Demands Of ‘No S*x Before Marriage’ (Video)

Actress Sarah Martins has stirred controversy online after openly opposing the belief that couples should not engage in intimacy before marriage.

The actress made her statement in a video that she shared on social media on November 8.

Sarah said: ‘’So a pastor said ‘’any man that asks you to sleep with him before marriage is a bicycle and that we should wait for our Bentley’.

My question is ‘what if I am the one that is the Bicycle and the man is the Bentley? because I am a girl’s girl, a lover girl, a girl that doesn’t like to cheta on a man. When I am in, I am in. I do not know how to play games. It is me versus my man and I. So why do you think I will blindly enter into a relationship or marriage without confirming the strength of my man or if he is actually a man down there before I finally say I do? Because I do not intend to start sneaking around after being married to my man.

It is okay for me to get to know this man in and out, s*x inclusive before I finally get to settle down with him.

I do not understand the idea that people are throwing around that any man that asks you to sleep with him before marriage is this or that..Bro! It doesn’t work like that.

If you like make a man wait for ten years, any man that will stay will stay and any man that will leave you will leave you.

A man can stay with you for ten years but the very night he has his way, that same night, he wouldn’t leave you.

Making a man wait so long doesn’t guarantee a relationship or starving a man does not guarantee you being a good girl”

My Friends Gave Sarah Martins N20m, Not Me – Seyi Tinubu

The son of President Tinubu, Seyi Tinubu has clarified a controversial gift to Nollywood actress, Sarah Martins.

However, following social media reports, Seyi took to his social media page to clarify that the donation came from his friends, not him.

I Was Wrong For Cooking On Walkway, But I Should Have Been Allowed To Finish – Sarah Martins Speaks After Clash With Lagos KAI Officials

Sarah Martins, the Nollywood actress, has spoken out following her confrontation with officers of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI), who disrupted her street cooking outreach in Lekki.

Recall that the actress admitted she was wrongfully cooking on the walkway and expressed disappointment at how her charity food items were seized.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Sarah described the action as lacking empathy for the poor children meant to benefit.

Martins explained that her meal was intended for about 200 street children who rely on her regular feeding programme for survival.

According to her, many children had not eaten all day and were already excited about having a meal before the incident occurred.

She revealed that she cried not because of her confiscated cooking utensils or the loss of the food, but because the children who depended on her were heartbroken and hungry.

The actress also clarified that her street cooking initiative was not for publicity or financial gain, stressing that her social media pages are not monetized.

She said that her outreach was meant to bond with street kids and make them feel loved and valued, a mission she has pursued consistently for seven years.

Martins added that she believed the KAI officials could have allowed her to finish cooking and distribute the food before advising her to discontinue for safety reasons.

Seyi Tinubu Gifted Me N20 Million – Nigerian Actress, Sarah Martins Says After Lagos Law Violation

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has revealed that Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, donated ₦20 million to support her charity initiative.

This comes a day after the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC/KAI) apprehended her for allegedly violating environmental laws.

Recall that the actress was apprehended on Thursday during a charity cooking outreach in the Admiralty area of Lekki Phase 1.

The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, stated that Ms Martins breached ‘objective four’ of the LAGESC/KAI Law on street vending, which prohibits the sale or preparation of food on roads or pavements.

In a video posted on her Instagram page on Friday, Ms Martins revealed that Mr Tinubu rewarded her financially and encouraged her to expand her charitable initiative.

A woman featured in the video was seen presenting an envelope containing N20 million to Ms Martins, explaining that Mr Tinubu admired the actress’s humanitarian efforts and wanted her to secure a proper shop for public safety and sustainability.

“He said you will be able to get a shop with this, where you can continue to harness your cooking skills and scale your production. He also said that when you get a shop, he’ll be responsible for equipping it with suitable industrial equipment. So this is just for you to get the shop.

“This is just to support what you do. This is to encourage you to pursue your passion. He watches you, follows you, and sees all that you do. And this is to encourage you to come to the big lane. The development needs a reputation,” she noted.

Ms Martins said the gesture extended to her would go a long way towards putting smiles on the faces of street children.

She said: “From disgrace to grace. From the office of the President, our philanthropic youth leader, Mr Seyi Tinubu, just supported my NGO with N20 million. Nigerians, please help me say thank you to him. He didn’t only give me N20 million. He also promised to take my free food charity outreach to the next level on behalf of the Golden Heart Foundation. I am beyond grateful, sir. And my beautiful Queen, Dr Bea, thank you for everything. We are in this together.

“Forward ever! Cheers to the next level. I am short of words. I am literally speechless. God bless you. God will surely continue to water every area of your life. You will go, succeed, and excel where others go and fail. Thank you for teaming up with me to continually put smiles on the faces of the vulnerable and homeless people through this.”

The actress explained that her decision to cook on the streets was driven by a desire to bring smiles to the faces of families who wake up each day uncertain of their next meal.

She said, “I just love humanity, so I feel like the best way I can help Nigeria support what the government is already doing is to put smiles on the faces of the people constantly, those who wake up without having hope of where their next meal will come from.

“So I said, let me be the hope for them, like someone waking up and knowing there is food somewhere for them to eat for free. That was the intention behind my motive. And for you to key into this.”

The Imo-born actress began acting in 2004 but gained recognition for her charitable street cooking initiative.

She’s known for movies like “The Widows,” “Dangerous Mad Man,” “The Gods Are Wise,” “Family Lies,” and “Feast of the Spirits,” among others.
