Quotes

• My dad wasn’t in support of me acting because he wanted me to become a lawyer but he didn’t know that my UTME score wasn’t high enough to qualify for law. I told my mum about my interest in creative acts and acting. So, she spoke to Abbey Lanre and that was how I met other big names in the industry. I was also trained even as an undergraduate.
  • Her parents' reaction to acting (9 September 2018)

• I was brought to the limelight by the movie, Omo Ghetto, and it was also my most challenging role. I was able to play that character well because of my childhood days on the Island. I have been friends with Funke Akindele for a long time; so, when she came up with the idea for the movie, we were able to execute it. We didn’t expect the kind of acceptance that the movie got and we are so grateful to God.
  • Talking about her breakthrough (September 2018)

• The challenges are so much. I remember my early days as a beginner; I was restricted from working for just anybody even when I had friends who were producers. However, I thank God for granting me favours with my bosses but sometimes, I got punished when they saw me on screen with other people. However, the training helped me to become better and disciplined as an actor, unlike when you are a freelancer.
