“I remember back then when I used to borrow dresses from Tayo Sindodo. Sindodo would help me choose nice ones from her tops if I was going to a movie set. “There was a day when Sindodo saw me carrying a bag after I wasn’t given a role, and she went to meet Uncle Abbey to fight for me. Iyabo Ojo was lucky and very nice to us. Iyabo would say, ‘Don’t worry,’ and she would drive us around in her small red car.

We found solace in one another. That’s how we became friends. Iyabo used to stand up and fight for me.” Watch video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by NollyCitadel Media and Entertainments® (@nollywoodcitadel)
