Nollywood actress Ayobami Ojo has appealed to Nigerians to stop referring to her as an actress, saying the label has negatively affected different aspects of her life.
In a video shared on social media, Ayobami recounted several experiences where she claimed she faced discrimination because of her profession.
According to her, she once lost a man who was interested in a relationship with her after he found out she was an actress. She alleged that he and others also accused her of using native charms, commonly referred to as “juju.”
The actress also revealed that she missed out on purchasing a property because of her career in the movie industry.
She further claimed that a landlord refused to rent her a space for her business after discovering that she was an actress.
Ayobami said these experiences have left her frustrated, prompting her to plead with Nigerians to stop identifying her solely by her profession.
