Veteran Yoruba actress Tola Oladokun has sent social media into a frenzy after making a rather unexpected and candid revelation. According to her, she has never kissed anyone in her entire life.
In a recent interview on Talk2Dunni, the Nollywood matriarch made it clear that kissing has never been part of her lifestyle, not even in her marriage. She said:
“You’re asking an old woman such a question? I don’t kiss, oo. I haven’t kissed in my life.”
Tola didn’t just stop at rejecting the idea, she emphasized that if anyone ever tried to kiss her, it would be a serious problem. She continued:
“If someone tries it with me, we will fight. I will tell him that I don’t do such.”
Surprisingly, Tola Oladokun’s husband is not an exception. As she said:
“When even my husband can’t bring his lips to kiss me, and I agree, who will I now do such with?”
The comment has sparked a mix of amusement, curiosity, and cultural reflection among fans. Some hailed her for sticking to her principles, while others were genuinely shocked that she could go through life and marriage without what many consider a basic form of affection.
Tola Oladokun, known for her motherly roles in Yoruba films and TV dramas, has long been celebrated for her no-nonsense demeanor and firm values both on and off-screen. And this latest revelation only cements her place as one of Nollywood’s most unapologetically authentic personalities.
While many celebrities often reveal tales of romance and passion, Tola’s old-school stance on intimacy has sparked fresh conversations about personal boundaries, generational differences, and cultural norms around affection in relationships.
Meanwhile, Toyosi Etim-Effiong has stated that she contrary to popular opinion, she is unbothered by her husband, Daniel Etim-Effiong’s kissing scenes with other actors.
On the first episode of their recently launched podcast, the duo sat on a couch and deliberated on varying issues in their marriage, other relationships and people’s perceptions.
