Ika Lomo Ejo, a seasoned actor better known by her stage name Tola Oladokun, has discussed why she would never be found performing a love part in a film. She claimed in an interview with Saturday Beats that her spouse did not like to watch her with a man in bed.
“Even though my spouse didn’t want me to take many scenes when I first started building my career in the film industry, my supervisor constantly suggested that I should. But when it reached a certain point, certain individuals started to slander me. My spouse was informed that on set, couples who work as actors always bed each other.
Due to these speculations, he gave me very strict rules to abide by anytime I had to go on set. At some point, he said I had to choose between my career and my home. I chose my home for peace to reign but I still acted in a few films only because I abided by all the rules he set for the sake of peace,” she said.

The actress noted that when the rumour mongers would not stop spreading false news about her to her husband, he told her to quit acting.
“Subsequently, when the negative gossips about me increased he said I shouldn’t act again but I asked our family members to help me beg him. My husband dotes on me a lot and he tells everyone who cares to listen that he loves me very much. Some people have this notion that actors don’t have lasting marriages but despite the issues I had in my marriage, I endured. I am a very decent woman; I don’t even keep too many friends because of my husband’s rules.
“I don’t feature in romantic movies because anytime my husband sees me in a bedroom scene, he is always angry. There was a time I acted as a wife in a movie, and he complained about how I walked in front of an actor; he wasn’t happy about it. They hardly cast me for such roles and even if they do, the man will not touch me on the bed at all,” she said.
Oladokun also mentioned the reason why some entertainers don’t have a good home, saying, “The reason why some actresses don’t have stable homes is because as entertainers, there is every tendency for people to say negative things about us to our spouses due to the nature of the job. Some women don’t know how to endure when there are such accusations; they allow the issue to get the better part of them and then end up misbehaving.
