There are wayward women everywhere, not only in Nollywood – Actress, Lola Faduri

Popular Yoruba movie actress, Lola Faduri, fondly called Adetoun L’America, has reacted to the perception of many that most actresses are wayward.

The medical doctor cum actress said there are wayward people everywhere, not only in Nollywood.

In a chat with the Nation, Faduri said “Well, I don’t know about that. There’s no industry that does not have wayward people as you mentioned, so it’s not only in our industry. It happens everywhere and in every career but just because we are role models, people tend to think there should be perfection in Nollywood.

“I do not see or know any wayward colleague but if some of them are actually wayward, then it’s very bad.”
On perceptions that most actresses get married late and end up divorced, allegedly, due to their wayward attitude, the ‘Ayamo’ thespian said, “Some people marry late for reasons best known to them, not because of waywardness. Actually, there are two sides to it.

“Some men are reluctant to marrying female actors because of the fame and they think they cannot control them; this could lead to female actors marrying late.

“On the other side most men that eventually marry them for the stardom part and not real love which eventually leads to divorce in no time except the very few God-fearing men.

“Yes, I could start mentioning happily married female actors that don’t have any problem in their marriages. There is a lot of us,” Faduri added
