I wanted to be a newscaster or a lawyer, she declared. The late Tokunbo Ajayi served as my inspiration. I have always like watching her news. I truly wanted to be like that. I never truly considered becoming a professional actress.
“You know, I’ve always been involved in the arts in church and in school. But while I was waiting for my JAMB to attend to law school, I decided to pursue a diploma in theater arts. I then began performing on stage. When the chance to see the movie presented itself, I instantly started acting. It had to happen.
The actress claimed that her family didn’t at first accept her decision to pursue acting.
