"Sexual harassment is not new, its happens everywhere, as far as you are good looking you must experience it"- Nollywood actress, Oyinkansola Momoh
Fast rising nollywood crossover actress and movie producer, Oyinkansola Momoh in an exclusive interview with Opecareem narrates her ordeal, talks about her relationship with former Lagos Governorship aspirant, Musiliu Obanikoro and her foray into acting...enjoy below:
The competition is getting tougher by the day..and so many young,
beautiful and talented girls are also competing...what is so special
about you?
Like we say, ladies are equal but to me, we ladies are of
different shades. My hair makes me special and unique.
Why acting?
(Smiles) If I tell you this is the reason why I act that
means I want to start exaggerating. Acting is part of me, it's in my blood
and I do it to teach people moral.
If not acting, then what?
If not acting then I would have become an Air hostess because I love travelling.
So far, how many movies have you featured in?
hmmmmmmm, wow! Frankly, I have featured in so many movies no doubt.
Which is the most challenging?
OMG, its my new movie but no yet released,
Titled ADAH. I regret ever setting up the location because I faced lots
of challenges, an accident occurred, my brand new car was pieced right
off, I lost all the money I had on me but I thank God nobody was injured
and the movie eventually went well.
So sorry about that, Oyin....Describe your first day on a movie set.
Thanks, it's ok...wow, my first day was a memorable day. It
was as if I have been acting for long, I acted well and the character I
played was a kind of character that every other ladies out there would
love to play.
So tell me about the journey into Nollywood. It was rough and tough but all the thanks to LATE MONSURAT OMIDINA a.k.a OMOLADUN. She was my stepping stone into Nollywood, I could still remember that day just like yesterday, I knelt down and cried and I said Aunty I can act, pls help me then she looked at me and laugh, that was how I joined and since then almighty God intervene. I pray she should keep on resting in the bosom of the lord.
Who do you look up to in the industry?
I humbly say I don't have
anybody I look up to but God because he is the source of my inspiration.
I understand how tough it is for an upcoming actress to get movie
roles, between me and you *lol* any sexual harassment from producers?
Sexual harassment is not new, its happens everywhere, as far as you are
good looking you must experience it but it is not a do or die thing.
Producers don't force actress to date them, and mind you if you are good
and your delivery sounds good you will get good roles.
Let's get to meet you, what are your real name, background...
I am
OYINKANSOLA, IBUKUNOLUWA, YEYETUNDE MOMOH, I am from Edo state (AUCHI) we
are five in the family, I am the forth. I spent most of my time in IJEBU
in my LATE grandma's place and later to Lagos. I attended Akinsemoyin
nursery and primary school Surulere and my secondary was Reagan memorial
at Sabo Yaba, my higher institution was Lagos state polytechnic. I so
much love my Grandmum, I promise her loving memory will remain in my
heart and it will be so Evergreen.
What and what will I find in your purse?
Chewing gum, handkerchief and my powder.
Since everyone was a start up once, can you give anyone who also wanna be like you some tips?
Yea, I will advice they should be themselves, and
their ego should be cut off. Most important thing always take correction
and put God first in whatever they do, if u do all this, success
awaiting you.
So, about your relationship with Musiliu Obanikoro? How is he to you?Lol, Obanikoro is like an uncle to me. Nothing more...I wonder where people are getting the stories from.
Would you mind exposing your body in a movie?
I can't expose my body
because it won't add to my beauty, I value my body more than anything.
Would I be right to say Oyinkansola might be going into Politics, if not now at least later?
Capital NO ....no no.
What are you working on now?
Oh beautiful, am working on something
meaningful but let me just hang it till the final day. It is well.
I like this lady. GOD BLESS YOU.
