My Acting Career – My Comeback to Acting is God’s Work: Sola Sobowale (Interview)
Arguably, no one quite personifies old-school Nollywood
glamour like actress, Sola Sobowale. A viewers’ delight, veteran entertainer
and academic, Tunji Oyelana (who is married to her elder sister Kikelomo),
showed her the ropes.
Her roles in Village Headmaster, Mirror In The Sun and in the
infamous Yoruba film, Asewo To Re Mecca, remain evergreen.
However, playing Toyin Tomato in the Wale Adenuga 2001 Super
Story series, Oh Father! Oh Daughter! shot her into super stardom.
In her 50s, Sola has featured in over 200 movies and
self-produced over 50 films. In an exclusive interview with the vivacious
actress, at an event in Lagos, she opened up to media on her comeback role in
the blockbuster, The Wedding Party, among other issues.
ADERONKE KALE, NIGERIA’S FIRST FEMALE ARMY GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
When the words ‘Nigerian Army’ are mentioned, the first image
that flashes across the minds of many is a mass of gun-totting, stern-faced,
camouflage-wearing, MALE soldiers. LOL! Let’s face it, many of us do not really
think of women when talking about or thinking of the NA. Well, there are women
in all the arms of the gallant Nigerian Armed Forces and today, we are taking a
look at the first Nigerian woman to ever become a Major-General (two-star
general) in the Army and in any of the three wings of the Nigerian Armed Forces
(including the Navy and Air Force).
