In her words:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cA lot of people [filmmakers] have approached me to be in movies. I get asked to be in movies all the time; in my DM, email, I get approached to be an actress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAnd I know that I\u2019m a very good actress. I am probably better than some of the actresses in Nollywood right now. And that\u2019s me being real. Apart from having a natural artiste instinct, I studied drama in the UK. So, I know that I\u2019m quite a good actor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI\u2019ve been approached by a lot of people to get into acting but I\u2019ve always turned them down. The reason I turned down gigs for acting in Nigeria is because, one, you\u2019re always going to be stereotyped into a role; two, some of the scripts are a bit too predictable; and three, they [filmmakers] don\u2019t pay well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other news, Nigerian actress, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2023\/11\/21\/go-and-wear-your-black-bonnet-you-cant-sue-me-lizzy-anjorin-defies-lyabo-ojos-warning-hits-back-at-her\/\">Lizzy Anjorin has fired back at Iyabo Ojo, also daring her to wear her trademark black bonnet<\/a> and talk as usual because she has nothing to achieve by calling her name. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Recall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2023\/11\/21\/mohbad-i-dare-you-to-mention-my-name-iyabo-ojo-slams-lizzy-anjorin-threatens-to-sue-video\/\">Iyabo Ojo had dared Liz to mention her name, following previous call out videos indirectly directed at her. <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Responding to Iyabo\u2019s accusations that she owes her for a movie, Lizzy claimed the former didn\u2019t look good in the said movie, which is why she didn\u2019t get paid for the role of a prostitute that she played. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2023\/11\/21\/go-and-wear-your-black-bonnet-you-cant-sue-me-lizzy-anjorin-defies-lyabo-ojos-warning-hits-back-at-her\/\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Lizzy then bashed those asking her to call Iyabo Ojo\u2019s name with her full chest and not do it indirectly.<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uriel\u2019s have given three solid reasons on why she keeps turning down acting opportunities offered to her.
