Yoruba actress, Biodun Okeowo, is not bothered if anybody
feels a big time politician set up her multi million Naira beauty
parlour that she launched in Lagos few months back.
Reacting to the allegation, the actress said, “Can they just tell me the name of the
politician because I don’t even have any politician as a friend.
People are just peddling carry such rumours, no politician
sponsored me to open the shop. I financed it from my sweat.
And there is this belief in Yoruba that if you do a business
from your own sweat, it will be more beneficial and profitable.
So, it’s a rumour.”
Talking about why she ventured into such business, Biodun
said it was for the future.
“It’s a normal thing to do business. Every sensible person will
go into business at one point or the other because one would
definitely need something to fall back on when old age sets in
and I can’t continue being an actress forever,” she said.
The proud mother of two debunked insinuation that she went into a new line of
business because the acting industry is no longer booming.
“Whether it is booming or not, you’d find out that even people
in the corporate world and government have businesses, so
it’s a normal thing for every sensible person to diversify into
other things. More so, sometimes things might not go on the
way you want, so you could have something else to fall back
on. As you are talking to me now, I’m on set, so it won’t
affect my acting,” she said.
