I wanted to be a lawyer, destiny took me to acting - Actress, Ini Edo

Nollywood actress, Iniobong Edo, has revealed that her childhood dream was to be a lawyer or a newscaster.

She said her role model was the late broadcaster, Tokunbo Ajayi.

Ini Edo disclosed this in a recent interview with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

She said,

"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 Art 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 came, and I just became an actor. It was destiny."

She said a movie director, Ikenna Igwe was the one who came to her house to convince her parents to let her do the film.
