“I can not forget Adelove. He brought the stage drama to Danjuma film close to where I lived then. He wore all white that day and came with a white car.
“Everybody ran towards him, and I also went closer to make sure I touched his clothes. I was very happy. I felt like I touched a gold. That was when I developed an interest in theatre.
“I lost my marriage due to my love for this theatre. But I never regretted being an actress since then because God has been gracious to me.”
