"Call Me A Nollywood Actress And Not A Yoruba Actress"- Ayo Mogaji Fires Back At Press

2 Admin


Veteran actress Ayo Mogaji has nailed it on the head. I guess some of my colleagues by now should understand why she is saying this, we all smell Discrimination especially during this period of Nollywood At 20
The popular Nigerian movie star said in a recent interview that she hates being call a Yoruba actress.
Hear Ayo Mogaji:
“I will never accept such because I am an actress not a Yoruba actress. If you call yourself an actress, you should be able to interpret any role being given to you in as much as you understand the language. I will use the word Nollywood actress for me rather than being referred to as a Yoruba actress, because I do act both in the English and Yoruba industry. So, I feel so sad when you say Ayo Mogaji is a Yoruba actress”
Thumb up ma, that's better, an actress is an actress and no discrimination here pls.
What do you think pls comment.

She's more respected when calling her as Nollywood actress instead of limitating her as yoruba actress.
