Yoruba actor, Ijebu, has said that he enjoys the trust of his wife when it comes to going out for business.
According to him, he does not have issues in managing his home, nor in coping with demands by female fans.
“It is good to marry a wife that was destined for one. My wife supports me a lot. Whenever I tell her I am going on set, she knows that I would be on movie locations. On my Instagram Live videos, fans tell me they love me and different people say they want to know me better. I cannot fight them; they are my female fans. At the end of the day, I can become good friends with them and also advise them. It’s not compulsory I have affairs with them. We can still be of help to one another in the future.”
Like Okele, Sanyeri and Kamilu, Ijebu is more popular as a comedian. he is the typical gateman who gives both the landlord and his visitors a lot of head ache.
At times, he gossips, he extorts money from visitors, and he could betray the landlord by striking deals with robbers or assailants. One of his greatest strengths is his Ijebu dialect that sound funny on its own.
He lost his father last year and noted that he missed his advice. He added, “I miss his advice. He usually advised me whenever I visited home and he would recite my praise poetry (oriki). When I was growing up, they didn’t speak the Ijebu dialect to me. My brothers urged my parents to train me with ‘pure’ Yoruba. But when God said it was time, I had to start calling some of my friends who spoke the language so well. My dad also tutored me on how to speak the dialect well. I really miss him a lot.”
