 I see myself being the best at what I do because I never want to stop learning 

7. What's your take on women flaunting their sexuality on social media?

I think everyone should do what works for them,we all have our moments as women.moments when we’ll like to dress up,inspire,radiate and just be ourselves it isn’t our fault that our society oversexualizes the girl child

13. What turns you off about the industry and what has been your most toxic experience in this regard?

 There’s no job that doesn’t come with its own challenges but how we handle them differs and this brings about different results. My most toxic experience in the interview was when I had to makeup for a senior actress who I loved on screen and was looking forward to meeting her.few minutes into the makeup she told me I had to hold my nose because I was breathing on her. 

14. What does beauty and sexiness mean to you?

Beauty and sexiness to me means being comfortable in your skin

15. What's your take on runs girls taking over the movie industry?

Before the advent of social media actresses have always been seen as promiscious and I think being in the limelight has been a major cause.if other industries get the same exposure I’m sure it would be a different story

I don’t think I have a limit but I certainly wouldn’t go nude

18. What can make you quit acting and can you quit for man?

I dare say acting is one of the jobs that has the longest life span your roles only change as you grow older and no I can’t leave acting for a man when I get committed I understand that there will be some adjustments like the kind of roles I do and the duration of time spent at work

19. Please let's have a list of films you have featured or produced.

I’ve featured in different movies as an extra but the ones I produced is titled AJOJI and I have another one coming to rule your screen titled AYO KADARA so watch out


20. What are the mistakes you have made in this career?

I take every mistake as a lesson so I would say my lesson is work and personal life should not be mixed

My name is AYENI Oluwaferanmi. I'm a 14 year old. And although I'm in the science-tech field of study, I've discovered an undeniable passion for writing. It didn't take much to decide that's what I wanted to do. I have two self published e-books on the platform, Wattpad.  * WHY? THE CHRISTIANS ASK....* Why?

Why have we come this far  And have not broken down like a faulty car Only with faith can we keep up this pace  While we run this strenuous race. * SOLITUDE* I sit in a corner My thoughts, my only companion I hear the giggles laced with familiarity Variations in tone blending in blissful orchestration  My heart aches because I'm the lost one Walking past,  I see arms thrown over necks Voices raised in excite

what does it mean to be a Boss lady?

Do you know what it takes to be a powerful and confident boss lady?  By: Bukunola Jayeola #1: self confidence.

The more you move and create change, the more people will push back. #3: Be ready for criticism .  Don’t listen to the haters because after all, they’ll just keep hating and tongue lashing you.
