biography.
HOW did you begin your acting career?
I can’t actually say how the whole thing started but the story of my life has been so interesting. I have been through a lot in life because the journey has been rough and smooth, so to say. I was born in the early 60’s. I attended St. Catholic School, Idumagbo for my primary education and proceeded to Christ High School, Ebute Elefun. When I got to class three, I dropped out of school but this has got nothing to do with poverty. It was not connected with money because my dad was a very influential man, and when I say influential, you can imagine what that means those days. I opted out of school to learn
business so that I could take over my dad’s business
YOU are often addressed as Kura or Fagbamila by your fans. How did you come about these names?
Fagbamila came before Kura. In those days, if you didn’t partake in traditional theatre performances, you were not a force to be reckoned with in the Yoruba theatre industry.
