Renowned actress Ayo Adesanya has shared important advice for young women enticed by the allure of quick wealth, particularly during the festive season.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, the actress stressed the importance of exercising caution and making wise decisions. She noted that the lack of proper guidance from some parents has left many young women vulnerable to poor choices in their pursuit of financial gains.
Adesanya encouraged young ladies to prioritize long-term stability over fleeting opportunities, urging them to make thoughtful decisions that would benefit their future. Her message has been widely applauded for its timeliness and relevance.
“Many of us who ought to be mentors for children have taught them terrible things. To the young girls, it is not everything that your parents will teach you but know that many of what you see online is fake.”
She also cautioned against the perils of seeking rapid income through precarious means, stating, “Young girls need to know that there is no easy money out there. With the kind of economic meltdown in the world, one can barely give you anything for free. To those engaging in hookups for fast cash, just know that if he is not collecting your destiny, he is grooming you for something. One needs to tread with caution and be very prayerful,” she stated.
In addition to her counsel for young girls, Adesanya expressed concern over the diminishing opportunities within the film industry due to the decline of dependable streaming services.
“It is a very painful situation because some of us did not get a chance to work with some of these platforms and they already closed that window. With what is happening right now, I believe that people would put their heads together and come up with an Indigenous streaming platform that will be beneficial to all”
Reflecting on her year, Adesanya conveyed her appreciation for her experiences.
“The year has not ended yet but it has been a beautiful year for me. God has been so good to me but I am still expecting more good things.”
She also expressed her enthusiasm for exploring new roles, mentioning, “I tried a new character recently when I played a security officer. I really liked it and I look forward to watching it. This year, I worked with many people. Most of my movies were very challenging but I enjoyed them. Some would be out next year and I cannot wait to also watch them.”
