The bond between Iyabo Ojo and her two children is phenomenal. In fact, they look like her younger siblings.
She told Sunday Scoop
that they have been this way since her children were toddlers. Ojo
explained, “Even though my children are not kids anymore, I still spend a
lot of time with them. I have a policy; all the producers who have
worked with me know that I don’t sleep at movie locations.”
According to her, on the few occasions
that she has had to sleep at movie locations, she made sure the house
was in order. She said, “There have been exceptional cases when I had to
do night jobs, especially when we shoot crime scenes. But I always have
things planned out. On the average, I sleep at movie locations only
about three times in a year.
“There was even a time I stopped taking
weekend jobs because I wanted to be with my kids. The producers were
always complaining, but there was nothing they could do about it. When
my kids were younger and I had to be on set on weekends, I never went
without them.”
Despite her strict work policies, Iyabo
said she hardly has issues with producers. “Professionalism works for
me. If I am given a script, I put in my best even if I am not well paid.
I don’t like being idle on set. If I am tired, I will not take a job.
No producer has had reason to complain about my work ethics.”
