I Wanted To Be A Lawyer – Ini Edo | general-entertainment

Nollywood actress, Ini Edo, has revealed that she didn't set out to be an actress.

According to her, her childhood dream was to be a lawyer or a newscaster.

She disclosed this in an interview with popular Nigerian media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

“I wanted to be a lawyer or newscaster. My role model was the late Tokunbo Ajayi. I always loved to watch her news. That is actually who I wanted to be like. I never really thought that I was going to be an actor.

“I have always been in the arts in school, church, you know. But then I went to do a Theater Arts diploma when I was waiting for my JAMB to go do Law. Then I started doing stage acting. The opportunity to go to the film cam, and I just became an actor. It was destiny,” she indicated.

She added that her family initially didn't support her decision to become an actress.

However, it was movie director, Ikenna Igwe who went to her house to convince her parents to let her pursue acting.
