May 13, (THEWILL)- Nollywood veteran actress Lola Alao has urged Nigerians to acquire fashion designing, hairdressing, or cooking skills before considering relocation abroad. She disclosed this while recounting her experience as a caregiver in Canada.
The 53-year-old recounted being slapped by a dementia patient during her caregiving job, an incident that prompted her to resign and start a clothing business. Before transitioning into acting with a role in ‘Ripples’, the Nigerian television programme, Lola worked as an air hostess. She starred in several movies, including ‘Alaanu Mi,’ ‘Dokita Alabere,’ ‘Ewe Koko,’ ‘Onilara,’ ‘Esin Obinrin,’ and ‘Gbokogbokors.’
