She’s been around for a long time and she has acted several movies in
both the Yoruba and English movies in Nollywood. Ayo Adesanya says like
most stars she had a rough beginning.
“But then, I think it’s just God because sometimes when God shows you where you ought to be, there’s little you can do. Sometimes, I went for auditions and wouldn’t get picked or they could just give me a minor role like a waka-pass and I would still do it and it didn’t matter to me. But most times too, I got good roles,” Adesanya said.
There’s no way Ayo Adesanya would tell her story in the industry without mentioning Ifeanyi, the man God probably sent to kick start her acting career.
“There’s this guy,
Ifeanyi, he works with NTA International now. After my NYSC, I started
working with Potson Nigeria Limited. So there was one time I had a break
from there. So I wanted to go into TV from there. So I went for an
interview and met him. We got talking and he invited me for an audition.
I got interested, and before then, I used to act in my nursery school
in Ibadan. Even during my secondary school days, I used to be part of
our drama group. Thereafter I relocated to Lagos and continued to act in
my church. That was when I met Ifeanyi who introduced me to Zeb Ejiro.
“Zeb was about producing his “Mortal Inheritance” movie and I took part
in the audition. But I remember vividly that when they gave me the
script, I was just shouting. Eventually, they gave me a waka-pass role
but I didn’t go back there. But I saw my name on the list,” Ifeanyi yet
again introduced her to another top producer; “The same Ifeanyi later
introduced me to Opa William and he asked me to do a piece which I did.
He was impressed. So, he gave me a minor role in Onome, and he paid me
N3000.
I was so happy that I could earn that kind of money for just a
minor role. From there, I started going for auditions and did Abused,
Omotola was part of it and Kesi Jabari and others and they paid me. Then
I did Palace by Tunji Bamisigbin. Then, I did Dry Leafs, Most Wanted,
so it was from one location to another. That was how I had my
breakthrough in the industry.”
Ayo who doesn’t like discussing her private life says there’s a man in her life and they will be getting married soon.
She’s trying to get rid of her tattoo now as she says she now knows it’s a sin.
“I still have it (her tattoo) but it’s fading off gradually. I recently
had a surgery. I’m supposed to have gone for another one. I’m clearing
it off but it’s so painful. It gets swollen and too painful.
“I went
to a church to pray and they gave me a Bible verse, I never knew it was
against Christianity. Until the Pastor opened a passage that I should
read, and that was how I knew. It’s actually so beautiful when you have
tattoos but immediately I knew it was a sin then, I made up my mind to
clean it.
Ayo Adesanya’s ex has the same tattoo as hers, but she
says she doesn’t “remember anything whenever I see it. I see it as part
of fashion,” adding that his new man doesn’t complain. “He’s not even
that kind of person. He’s a very cool person.”
Who new Ayo Adesanya
was never legally married to her ex, Omogoriola Hassan. She had a son
for him, and she says the boy and her new man are getting on well. She
was however on the defensive when asked about her ex; she said she
doesn’t like discussing her past, but then she hinted there’s a legal
issue involved, but she made it clear she was never legally married to
Hassan. Whatever the legal issue is?
According to Ayo Adesanya, some men are still babies; referring to her ex whom she says had problems with her career.
“I think to marry a career woman or a celebrity- it isn’t what most men
can handle,” she says. But she believes her new man can handle who she
is and the career she has chosen.
Her advice for the upcoming ones
is simply to serve God. “It takes a lot of humility and patience to get
to the top. They have to be humble to gain a lot. They should forget the
fame because it comes with hard work. Although some are lucky to get to
the top within a short time and that means it’s just luck because it’s
not easy. Most importantly, you have to serve God. I’m a Christian so I
can’t take my Jesus for granted. Life isn’t just about partying because
being on location is enough party in itself. So, it’s not about clubbing
all the time but no one says you shouldn’t club but let’s not forget
where we are coming from.”
