THE WILL

The actress stated this in an interview with Nigerian Tribune. While granting an interview on her role in the biopic, ‘Awujale’, she was asked why the Yoruba genre of the industry is playing catch up by producing movies that have standards most streaming platforms are looking for just like the English genre of the industry.

Lawal stated that the Yoruba genre of the industry is not trying to play catch-up, instead, they own the industry but the fact that they messed up made them lag in the production of movies streaming platforms.

“We own the industry. Go back and research. The industry belongs to the Yoruba people. If you go back and research, you will understand what I mean from people like Hubert Ogunde and Ade Love.

“I don’t want to go into details. But, if you go and research very well, you will discover that Yorubas own this industry, we started this industry.
