The day has finally arrived for Nollywood’s beloved actress, Destiny Etiko, who has been excitedly counting down to her birthday.
Taking to her Instagram page, Destiny shared a jaw-dropping video from her birthday shoot, noting that today marks the celebration of an extraordinary queen—a woman of charm, grace, and strength. She encouraged her millions of followers to join her in celebrating this special day with joy, love, and all the enchanting moments she longs for.
As she embarks on another year of her life’s journey, Destiny prayed to be surrounded by laughter, blessings, and endless opportunities to shine brightly like the dazzling gem that she is. In her own words, she cheered herself on, affirming,
Cheers to myself, a true queen in every sense of the word. Happy Birthday to me.”
A day before her birthday, Destiny issued a public service announcement, humorously expressing that she was tired of receiving physical presents. She asked anyone planning to surprise her to instead consider giving her cash or a credit alert. Following this, Destiny received a N1 million credit alert from one of her brand’s bosses. Expressing her gratitude, she noted how he has always shown her love and has never stopped surprising her for her work with his brand. Despite the official start of her birthday celebrations being hours away, the gifts had already started pouring in.
Last year, Destiny received a cash gift of N2 million from another brand’s founder on her birthday. Reflecting on her journey, Destiny shared that when she first started acting, she wasn’t earning up to N100k, but today, her story is completely different. She attributes her success to her unwavering passion for acting, which continues to fuel her drive.
In another show of love, Destiny received N500,000 from her junior colleague, Sarah Martins, as a birthday gift. Overwhelmed by the gesture, Destiny took to Instagram to thank Sarah for the love and support. In response, Sarah commented that Destiny deserved even more, and Destiny once again expressed her appreciation.
The outpour of love didn’t stop there. Actress Christabel Egbenya also sent Destiny N300,000 as a birthday gift, leaving Destiny grateful and pleasantly surprised. Destiny shared the screenshot of the credit alert, thanking Christabel for her generosity.
The most significant gift of the day came when Destiny received a whopping N3 million from one of her brand’s bosses, along with two new luxury hairpieces. Shocked and emotional, Destiny expressed her gratitude and showered the giver with prayers, marveling at the magnitude of love she had received.
Nollywood actress Lizzy Gold also joined in the celebration, shutting down any rumors of a rift between the two. Lizzy took to Instagram to share Destiny’s birthday photos, calling her “my love” and “our drama doll.” She wished Destiny all the blessings in her endeavors, and Destiny warmly thanked her for the birthday wishes.
Despite the past rumors of a fallout between Destiny and Lizzy, today’s celebration shows that the bond between the two remains strong. As Destiny continues to receive an outpouring of love and generosity on her special day, it’s clear that she is truly cherished by those around her.
