Ogunmola, who once participated in the Next Movie Star reality show but did not make it into the final house, said her journey in Nollywood has not been easy.
“My journey has been crazy, but I have just kept at it,” she said.
The actress also explained why she moved into business early in her career, noting that she never saw herself working a regular office job.
“I just wanted my life to have meaning at that time. I am not somebody who likes to sit at home; I wanted to do something. I never wanted to do 9–5. I will not do 9–5, it’s not just me. Shoutout to people who do it, I applaud you. But for me, I am business-savvy like that,” she added.
Speaking on life after fame, Ogunmola advised people in the entertainment industry to invest and create other sources of income because success can change with time.
“Life is in phases. You are popular today, you may not be tomorrow. What are you doing to put food on the table? You should be investing, positioning yourself from now. I have always been that kind of person, so I always have something else I am doing,” she said.
She also credited filmmaker Biodun Stephen for helping her understand movie production and leadership on set.
“Before you lead, serve. A lot of the things I learnt were from other producers. Biodun Stephen was my first teacher when it comes to movie production. Every time I am on set, I am watching her,” she noted.
