Everything my daughter knows about acting I taught her. She kept on pestering me until one day, I allowed her to act in a movie. Anytime she saw little children on locations, she would beg me to allow her be part of the cast but I would refuse. Though I didn’t allow her to watch Nigerian movies because of her age, she followed me to locations and made friends with a lot of actresses and actors. She loved watching movies and acting at home.
