Veteran actress Bimbo Akintola is reminiscing on how she met fellow actress Iyabo Ojo.
In an interview on Oyinmomo TV, Bimbo said Iyabo visited her house at 19, expressing a deep passion for acting.
Bimbo said she was impressed by Iyabo’s strong will, motivating her to secure a lead role in a film.
“Iyabo came to my parents’ house. She was very young and I asked, ‘What do you want?’ She said she wanted to act. She was 19 when we met.
“What I like is that she went the extra mile to fulfill her acting dream,” she said.
However, things took a turn when Iyabo allegedly offended Bimbo Akintola after getting the role, particularly since Bimbo had to advocate for her to get the part.
She said the situation got complicated when Iyabo got pregnant while working on the film.
“Iyabo offended me when I got her a lead role. I don’t beg for roles, but I did for her. She was pregnant,” she said.

“Yesterday, around 4 pm, our car caught fire on the 3rd Mainland Bridge and burnt to the ground.
It was a shocking and painful experience, but we’re incredibly grateful that the driver made it out safely. No lives were lost, and that’s what truly matters.
Moments like this remind us how quickly things can change and how unimportant material things become in the face of life itself.
We’re not sharing this for sympathy but to remind someone that things can be replaced. Lives cannot.
We’re choosing to remain thankful to God for protection, for perspective, and for the quiet strength to keep going.
If you’re navigating a sudden loss of any kind, we hope this reminds you: we can rebuild. We can begin again and find the strength to keep going.
“One breath, one prayer, one step at a time,” Darey and Deola wrote.
