Biola recently suffered a growth of her thyroid gland. Her tongue, neck, complexion was affected, and it seemed as if her career was going to end on that sad note, but Biola made to India where the growth was successfully removed. And yes, Biola is living to fight another day.
Having a supportive dad helped Biola realise her dreams. She told Vanguard she had always wanted to be an actress. But of course she wanted to star at the biggest stage; Hollywood. She was sure it was going to happen as her dad already promised her she was travelling to America after Secondary School, but it wasn’t meant to be. Biola’s dad didn’t have the means to send her lovely daughter abroad.
When it was obvious travelling abroad was a daydream, Biola made do with what was available. “I moved to Lagos after my University education. I went for auditions in Lagos and landed my first role in “Blindfold” produced by OJ Productions,” Biola said.
Biola says she’s been around for a while, but her ailment meant she hasn’t featured in many movies. “Yes, I have been in the industry for about four years. I am proud of my achievement. I would have starred in more than fifty movies now, if not because of my sickness that took me to India. I am back in the country though lam not looking the same again. I am grateful to God for giving me my life back.”
Biola Ige said she was in India not only to have an operation on his thyroid, but also to worship. Yes, Biola says she worships as a Hindu.
“It was an avenue for me to worship my God and yes, l worship as an Hindu. I know what you may want to say. I do not see anything wrong with following any religion of your choice. It is a free world. And I choose Hinduism.”
Biola says she chose Hinduism because she found peace in the religion. She left Christianity for Hinduism. “I was a Hinduist before I travelled to India. I was a Christian before I changed my faith and I must tell you I have found peace in Hinduism. And in India, I felt at home. I didn’t feel like returning to Nigeria again because everyone was so nice to me.”
The lady who loves controversy, Tonto Dike was involved in one with Biola Ige at a time with rumour Tonto was responsible for Biola’s ailment making rounds. Biola says she’s not friends with Tonto and believed she couldn’t possibly harm her.
“When I was sick, there were a lot of stories flying here and there that Tonto Dike was responsible for my sickness. But l didn’t believe it because we were not even friends before I fell sick. And why would Tonto Dike want to harm me when she has made a name for herself?”
Biola says she doesn’t have time for any relationship at the moment, and suitors may have to wait three years as she says that’s the closest she is to getting married. But when Biola falls in love, she says it will be completely, and so she doesn’t see herself settling with a married man.
“When I am in a relationship, it takes my whole being and life. So if I am in love, l fall hopelessly in love, hence I cannot see myself loving another woman’s husband. I cannot share my man at all with any woman as I do not share my love.”
The Osun-born actress who says her eyes are the sexiest part of her body doesn’t have issues with taking up roles involving love-making in movies.
“I won’t describe it as having s*x because it is drama- a make- believe world; hence everything done is not real. I would describe it as pretending to have s*x. And yes I have done that in many movies, but they were never real.” If You Enjoyed This, Please Click SHARE below to facebook or twitter thanks
