"MY
ENCOUNTER WITH NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS IYABO OJO AT A WEDDING - EVENT BLOGGER, HELEN
OZOR
I remember getting an invite to attend Queen Ayo Balogun son's wedding
(#jjginger17) some weeks back. At that time, I had wanted to shoot the first
video for my YouTube channel #partymomentswithhelen and I was so excited. After
interviewing a few vendors/guests during the reception, I walked up to
Nollywood actresses, Iyabo Ojo and Fathia Williams and requested for an
interview. Faithia politely told me she doesn't grant interviews at parties (I
bet she would have agreed if it were Ovation TV or Goldmynetv). Anyway, I was
glad she wasn't rude to me. Meanwhile, it was my second time talking to her;
First time was at BON Awards where she allowed me take a picture of her at the
event and I had just started blogging then. Iyabo Ojo on the other hand, looked
at me, collected my branded jotter where I had written my interview questions,
she went through it, handed it over to me and turned her face away. This same
Iyabo Ojo that I introduced myself to as a blogger in 2011 and she said 'pls
what is a blog' I explained what a blog is, to her. I laugh anytime I remember
what happened.
Truth is, at some point in your career, some people will treat you nice while
others won't. Some will help you instantly just because they love your
personality while you will chase and chase some people just to get something
from them. Always remember that, It is your duty to keep pushing and never give
up because you are responsible for whatever you make out of your life."
