Untold Story; How Iyabo Ojo Came To Me For Help At 19 – Bimbo Akintola

Seasoned actress Bimbo Akintola has opened up about early encounter with junior colleague, Iyabo Ojo.

In an interview on Oyinmomo TV, Bimbo said Iyabo visited her house at 19, expressing  passion for acting. 

Bimbo said she was impressed by Iyabo’s determination and even helped her 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 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.
