Veteran Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has opened up about a life-changing encounter with her role model, Bimbo Akintola, that helped shape her path to stardom in the Nigerian film industry. During an interview featured in a video posted on Pulse Nigeria’s official YouTube channel, Iyabo Ojo fondly recalled her first meeting with Bimbo and how it impacted her life.
The Yoruba film star revealed that Bimbo Akintola once asked if she was a virgin and strongly advised her to stay focused and not get distracted by romantic relationships with men. Bimbo, who took Iyabo under her wing, warned her against chasing men if she truly wanted to grow in the industry.
“Bimbo Akintola asked me if I was a virgin, and she warned me not to chase after men,” Iyabo said. “She told me that if I wanted to roll with her, I must not be going around with different men. But her mother told her to allow me to live my life because I was still young at the time.”
Fans have praised Bimbo for being a positive influence in Iyabo's early days and helping her stay on track in the challenging world of Nollywood.
