She also spoke about her parents’ views on her profession, with her father initially disapproving of acting due to misconceptions.

Despite challenges, Aisha has built a successful life, urging people to respect her name and accomplishments.

She said: “One man, I wonder if it was set up or if he smoked weed, sat and set the camera in front of him and said MC Oluomo collected Venza from him and gave it to me. I have regard for MC Oluomo because he has done so well for people I know. I didn’t collect any car. Why will I die mysteriously when I didn’t eat mysteriously?

“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.

Covid was the turning point in my life. I made N10m in a week or two”.

“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”.

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.

She added, “Nobody likes anybody on social media, that’s what I noticed.

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.”
