Some of her colleagues in the industry like Kemi Afolabi, Bimpe Akintunde, Omo Alausa, and others showered encomiums on her for carrying out the good act to honour Iya Osogbo.

Iya Osogbo, who featured prominently in productions like Orogun Adedigba, Kuye, Kootu Ashipa and others, appreciated God for his Grace upon her life.

“I got to attain this age because of God’s mercy. In addition, the almighty also gave me the wisdom of preserving my body and being moderate in all I have been doing. Our youths should emulate this too. They should learn to be God-fearing too.
