As an April baby, Omoni celebrates her birthday every 22nd of the month. She spent her formative years living in the Delta Steel Complex at Aladjain Delta state and attended <\/span>Delta State primary school 3, Ovwian-Aladja. Unlike the larger Warri society, which lacked the necessities of life, the <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aladjain community\u00a0<\/span>had all the facilities that made for a great community, making Omoni and her sibling live a somewhat sheltered life.<\/p>\n<p>After successful graduation, she was enrolled into the state-owned technical high school, where she not only became the school&#8217;s head girl but was also admired as the leader of her school&#8217;s drama and debating clubs. Omoni&#8217;s active skills in arts helped her find her way in the show business. During her high school years, she produced and directed most of the drama performed in her school. Even after graduating from high school, she never lost sight of those activities that make her happy.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Her Parents Separated When She was very Young<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67991\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67991\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/www.nairaland.com\/attachments\/5264675_omoni_jpge21fdd66b4c1264bcd3834c3872df23d\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-67991\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Omoni-Oboli-father.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Omoni-Oboli-father.jpg 720w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Omoni-Oboli-father-260x128.jpg 260w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Omoni-Oboli-father-696x343.jpg 696w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Omoni-Oboli-father-324x160.jpg 324w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Omoni-Oboli-father-648x320.jpg 648w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-67991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Omoni Oboli with her father<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Omoni Oboli grew up in a broken home, but unlike most victims of homes like hers, she never lacked the presence of her parents, which is why she speaks well of them until today. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actress\u2019s father is late Chief Matthew Eriyovwe Ukey, who used to work as a commissioner at the Delta State Civil Service Commission. He died in 2017 in an auto crash along the Oghara\/Mosogar bridge in Ethiope-West Local Government Area. He was laid to rest in his hometown of Mosogar, Delta State. His burial ceremony was held on June 2, 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Omoni&#8217;s mother&#8217;s name is Elizabeth, popularly called Lizzy. She had two daughters with <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">late Chief Matthew Eriyovwe Ukey before they separated. <\/span>Omoni was only a baby when her parents separated, and her mother was left to take care of them. Even though she has passed away, Omoni always sings her praises. She describes her as a warrior mother who would sacrifice herself for the future of her children. Lizzy had two daughters. While working so hard to provide for her daughters, she also ensures she is part of their every life.<\/p>\n<p>During the premiere of the movie <strong>\u2018<\/strong>Moms at War,\u2019 Omoni shared that she chose to direct the film to honor her mother. The actress also honored her mother during her 40th birthday on 22nd April 2018. In addition, she established a feeding initiative called \u2013 <em>Sister Lizzy\u2019s Kitchen <\/em>through the Omoni Oboli Foundation<em>. <\/em>The initiative, which was established to feed 500 children every week, <em>was <\/em>named after her late mother.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Omoni Oboli Reportedly Has One Sibling &#8211; A Sister<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omoni Oboli has a sister whose name is currently not disclosed.

Also, j<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">udging by how sparingly there is public information about Omoni\u2019s sister, it is clear that she is not in any way as popular as the Nollywood star is.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>She Started Her Acting Career At Age 18 in 1996<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Omoni may not have known how much a skilled actress she is until she got her first professional acting role in the 1996 film <em>Bitter Encounter<\/em>, where she had a lead character as a secretary.

So she gave her acting career a pause to obtain her first degree. Then relocating to Benin city where she was born, Omoni gained admission into the prestigious University of Benin to study Foreign Languages with a major in French.<\/p>\n<p>Completing her four-year course, she graduated with a 2nd Class Upper division at the age of 22. In addition, her choice of the French language as a course of study was a huge plus as it did make her multi-lingual. Her English and French language proficiency could further help her gain acting roles in any foreign films.<\/p>\n<p>Having obtained her first degree, Omoni realized that she would need further training in the field for her to go far in her acting career. So, in 2010, she left Nigeria for the United States of America (USA), where she enrolled at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyfa.edu\/nyfa-news\/alumni\/omoni-oboli-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Film Academy<\/a>. After a 4-week workshop, she was offered a certificate of excellence in digital editing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#605656;border-radius:3px\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#938989;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\"><strong>Highlights of Omoni Oboli's Academic Qualifications<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\">\n<ul>\n<li>Delta Steel Company Primary School \u2013 Primary School Leaving Certificate<\/li>\n<li>Delta Steel Company Technical High School \u2013 Secondary School Leaving Certificate<\/li>\n<li>University of Benin \u2013 Second Class Upper in French<\/li>\n<li>New York Film Academy \u2013 Digital Editing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Omoni Oboli Returned to the Movie World a Decade After<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many would expect Omoni&#8217;s quick return to her acting business with her level of academic success, but it took Omoni about a decade before returning to the show business. She returned to the screen in 2009 after getting married to her husband <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/inside-omoni-oboli-family-life-with-nnamdi-her-husband-of-over-20-years\/\">Nnamdi Oboli<\/a> and having her three sons. Upon her return, Omoni realized she couldn&#8217;t easily find her place in the industry.
