The popular yoruba actress says poeple think she is wayward because of the role she played in a Yoruba movie Sikirat Sindodo which is always in the news for bad reasons. Read her interview below:
The movie that led to my breakthrough is Sikirat Sindodo. The name, Sikirat Sindodo, has stuck with me ever since and it is always in the news for the bad reasons. People see me as a very wayward girl because of the role I played in the movie. Meanwhile, I am a very calm person. I don’t go out when it is not necessary and I mind my business. However, I don’t regret playing that particular movie because I was just doing my job.
Misconceptions
People often think that Yoruba actors cannot speak English but that’s not true. Most of the people coming into the industry now are graduates. Even the ones that have been there before, who were not graduates, are going back to school. One problem that we have is that the pay in the industry is very poor and that is why I don’t appear in a lot of movies. The only way we make money is when we produce our movies.
Fame
Fame has opened a lot of doors for me. There are some places where some of my friends, who are not popular, cannot go but once I get there, they allow me in because they recognise my face. Some of the disadvantages are that when one goes to parties or run some chores, street urchins would often harass you.
Break
I took a break sometime ago when I was sick. I had problems with my liver. However, That was a long time ago and I am okay now.
Daughter
My daughter recently turned 20. She is my best friend and I don’t like talking about her in interviews. She hasn’t shown any interest in acting.
MC Oluomo
I believe that’s an old story. He has dated plenty of actresses after me; I would rather not talk about him.
Highlights
My career is still on; so, I don’t think I have gotten the highlight yet.
Relationship
My man must be ready-made. I also like my man to be very prayerful, loving and caring. I am a very jealous person; I like my man to myself. I don’t like sharing. I can marry an entertainer because we are in the same industry. Right now, I’m ‘somehow’ in a relationship.
