Nigerian actress Ayo Adesanya has shared valuable advice with young girls, cautioning them against the potential dangers of seeking quick financial gains.
In a recent conversation with Saturday beats, Ayo Adesanya advised young girls of the importance of being mindful of the choices they make, especially during the festive season.
She noted that many young people are not receiving adequate guidance from their parents, leading to poor decision-making.
She encouraged young girls to be aware that not everything they see online is real and that there are no shortcuts to achieving success.
She stated:
“Many of us who ought to be mentors for children have taught them terrible things. To the young girls, it is not everything that your parents will teach you but know that many of what you see online is fake.
“Young girls need to know that there is no easy money out there. With the kind of economic meltdown in the world, one can barely give you anything for free. To those engaging in hookups for fast cash, just know that if he is not collecting your destiny, he is grooming you for something. One needs to tread with caution and be very prayerful.”
In addition to offering guidance, Adesanya discussed the current state of the film industry, expressing concern over the limited opportunities available due to the decline of reliable streaming services.
She suggested that the industry may benefit from the development of an indigenous streaming platform.
“It is a very painful situation because some of us did not get a chance to work with some of these platforms and they already closed that window. With what is happening right now, I believe that people would put their heads together and come up with an Indigenous streaming platform that will be beneficial to all”.
Reflecting on her own experiences, Adesanya expressed gratitude for the opportunities she has had this year.
She also shared her enthusiasm for exploring new roles and collaborating with other professionals in the industry.
“The year has not ended yet but it has been a beautiful year for me. God has been so good to me but I am still expecting more good things.”
She also expressed her enthusiasm for exploring new roles, mentioning:
“I tried a new character recently when I played a security officer. I really liked it and I look forward to watching it. This year, I worked with many people. Most of my movies were very challenging but I enjoyed them. Some would be out next year and I cannot wait to also watch them.”
