' Right Now '

the boss of Ruth Kadiri Films, declared that growing up in the slum was actually more of a blessing than curse.

 

“Growing up in the slum helps you to find yourself,” she mused.

 

“It’s either you are defined or you are not.

 

Growing up as a child in Ajegunle, it’s either you get lost or it helps you find your way.

 

Right now, there are so many mistakes I can’t make. I see many ladies misbehave, if I am able to overcome it at childhood I can’t start doing it now.

 

As a child I have always known what I wanted.

 

In my room I had a write-up that when I become eighteen I would rent my own apartment.

 

My dad saw it and he was like “Where are you going by eighteen?”

 

I told him I want to be able to get my own apartment and make my own money. He just laughed it off.

 

I think that decision helped me to cultivate the desire to make my own money and do it the right way.”
