Can we step into your world?

Sure, you are welcome. My name is Moji Oyetayo, popularly known as Mama Ajasco (giggles). I’m a Lagosian, I’m Yoruba, I’m an actress , I’m a voice-over-artiste, I’m an MC, I’m a world cup entertainment moving train. I read English in Lagos State University (LASU). When I was much younger, I never knew I was going to be an actress. But I always knew I was going to be a media person. I was looking up to being a news caster. I knew I was going to be on TV but I never knew I would be on TV as an actress. I grew up loving the news people because I love to speak fanatics a lot. So, I used to listen to them, and would be looking at their expressions and I said to myself I would be one of them. Ironically, It’s not like I had a role model. I was just amazed with all of them. There was this lady, she is late now, Mee Ellen Mode Damijo, I used to sit and would be looking at her. Even on international news too, my mum would see how  I was  glued to the  TV watching CNN,  looking at the newscasters  and she would ask me what I was listening to. But it was their expression. I knew I wanted to have my talk show too right from childhood. But acting never crossed my mind.

It was difficult to quit smoking-Yeni Kuti, late Fela’s daughter

‘There was no time I needed a second marriage’

Secret of my looks

I think the first secret behind my looks is to be happy. Try your best to smile or even laugh no matter what you are confronted with. That is what I do. I try as much as possible to laugh a lot. Then apart from laughing, I try to watch what I eat because even if I start laughing from now till eternity without a good diet you may not get a good result. But I must be honest with you, some months back, I wasn’t eating healthy. I was eating everything I see. But now, I have reduced that. I don’t eat much of junk these days but if I’m very hungry and junk food is what I see, I eat but I don’t eat much of that. Another thing that helps me to keep fit is that I love to dance. Oh yes, I still dance a lot. While doing my dance class I burn excess fat in the process. I dance three times in a week. Twice with the band and once for my dance class where I teach people how to dance Afro beat. Finally, I don’t take my dinner anything beyond seven pm.

Naughtiest thing I have ever done-Bukky Raji, actress

I was barely seven  My siblings and I used to travel to my mum’s village for Ileya festival because my grand mother was a Muslim. So, before we traveled, my mum used to buy a bottle of Bacchus tonic wine for her as a gift. That was the old woman’s favourite drink. We would bring the wine to her.

But my sisters and I used to sneak into her room which was always open to steal some sips because the wine was sweet.

Luckily everything was okay but when I was about to leave the hospital, I remembered I used to have slight discomforts whenever I applied cream around my breasts. My doctor asked when I had my breasts checked and I said never, so she sent me to the breast clinic,” she said.
