Why I Featured Bobrisky In My Movie – Tayo Sobola

Nollywood actress and producer, Sotayo Sobola has opened up on some choices she has made in her career as a producer in shooting her movies.

She was engaged in a chat with The sun news, where she talked about her secret marriage and other matters. According to her, she had known Bobrisky for a long time and even before he came into the limelight. Below are excerpts of the conversation culled from The Sun news.

There was a time you featured popular cross dresser, Bobrisky, in one of your movies, what informed that decision?

If you know me well, you will know that I don’t discriminate. I have known Bobrisky since he was Idris, and if you watch that movie very well, you will see that I used it to pass a message whereby his ‘younger sister’ was manhandled because of the way he was trying to attract men to himself, and at end of it all, he gave up on that particular habit.

Now that you are married, what should we expect from you?

Well, nothing is changing about me. It’s just that I have decided to spread out a little. I just opened my clothing line, Clean Stitches, but a lot of people still don’t believe I own it; some think I just modeled for the brand. Now, we have opened a new branch in Abuja.

Why Abuja, is that where marriage has taken you? 

No, it’s not really because of marriage. I have a home here in Lagos; I also have a house in Abuja. And I have always been traversing Lagos and Abuja, and now that it is time to expand my business tentacles, I then thought of Abuja. Aside the fact that we have our clients all over the world, Abuja people patronise us a lot. If you notice my signature, you will realise that I deal with lots of boubou, and iro and buba, which are mostly rocked by classy or funky women. And trust me, Abuja has them plenty. So, I did my research and came to the conclusion that since I have a landed property there, and my shop too, I will have good sales. So, I made up my mind to open another branch in Abuja.
