BEVERLY HILLS, February 07, (THEWILL) – Popular actress, Iyabo Ojo, has said her late mother was older than her father but she claimed to be younger out of respect for her husband and to keep busybodies away.
Ojo disclosed this on Sunday when she spoke in her recent edition of her vlog, Bare it all with IY.
She said: “My dad’s name was Festus Adekunle Ogunro and he died about 19 years ago. My mum recently passed on at the age of 69. Do you know that my mum lied to me about her age? She actually cut two years off her age because she was older than my dad and she didn’t want us to know. She is gone and I miss her so much.”
Ojo also narrated how she had to contribute to sponsor her education after she got married.
She said: “In 1999, I met my husband and I got pregnant. We got married and I had my son. In 2000, I decided to go back to school and I registered for a part-time course at the Lagos State Polytechnic, Isolo, Lagos (Surulere campus). I was going to school, in addition to being married and doing business. I had to leave acting for a while because I had a baby and had to go back to school. In between that, I got pregnant again and had my beautiful daughter, Priscilla.”
