Actress Biola Bayo has opened up about her experience of leaving secondary school and how it affected her life outlook.
In an interview with Seun Oloketuyi on Nollywood on Radio, she talked about the financial challenges she faced and how she missed several school admissions, but her passion for education never wavered.
“For me, education has always been it for me. I was a secondary school dropout, so education was intentional for me. So it wasn’t easy for me to go to school, so it was very difficult. I had several admissions that I denied because I didn’t have money and that was years back, so it was a tussle and struggle. I just don’t stop; I feel like there is always more to get”, she said.
Bayo mentioned that she refuses to be mediocre and constantly works to enhance her skills, regardless of her current status.
“My lesson is that I don’t stop at any level of mediocrity; I feel I can always do better, regardless of the position that you are in now. I don’t feel too comfortable to remain in a position, so I am that type of person who will always aspire to do better”, she said.
She also clarified the misunderstanding that the Yoruba film industry is full of uneducated individuals, stressing that there have always been educated actors present.
“Even from time, there have been a lot of educated people among us. It’s probably because we had more people who were not so educated at that time, so it made it look like the industry was dominated by the illiterate but there are literates among us; there have always been. Way back, it was filled with school certificates and not university degrees and those schools’ certs know how to speak better, their English was so polished than what we have now”, she concluded.
