Nollywood actress, Aisha Lawal, has said that she will not die abominably because she did not eat abominably.
Lawal explored the Yoruba proverb that says ‘eni ti ko je ‘gbi’, kii ku ‘gbi” as she responded to an allegation that she got a Venza from the President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, MC Oluomo.
Another transporter, Istijabah, had claimed in a video that he gave the car to Oluomo for business but he passed it onto the actress.
According to Lawal, she drives a GX 460 and owns several shops, which she single handedly achieved.
“I didn’t watch the video in detail, but then I heard the part where he said, “Aisha Lawal, I am the owner of the blue Venza with you.
“Common, put some respect on my name, I have suffered in the past, I didn’t even drive a Venza, I drive a GX 460, and my shop is like the 4/5th building”, she said.
‘The Nation’ reports that Aisha also shared insights into her past, recounting how she started driving at 16 and would often take night buses to save on hotel costs.
She said: “I started driving at age 16. I would take the night bus to Oshodi at Abba, wearing my nose mask and face cap. They saw me then, but they didn’t say anything. I usually take the night bus because I don’t want to pay for a hotel.
“I am an actress, and people know me. I would enter vehicles transporting fowls from Abba to Ibadan, sometimes to Ijebu Ode before I started going to China”.
She also spoke about her family background, mentioning that her father initially wanted her to study Theatre Arts but disapproved of acting due to misconceptions about the profession.
“My dad actually wanted me to study Theatre Arts, but my mum never wanted it. My dad didn’t know that I started acting till he died, but I didn’t tell him because he taught actress give births outside wedlock, and don’t have stable marriage”, she said.
I have enjoyed and suffered life like a ball. My grandma would say, “May your days be rough, because one with a smooth life wouldn’t enjoy a long life.”
