Sola Kosoko: How My Dad, Jide Kosoko Brought Me Into Limelight

Nollywood star actress, Sola Kosoko is one of veteran actor
Jide Kosoko’s daughters in the same industry with her
father.
In a recent chat with Daily Post, the proud mother of one
revealed that her father is the secret of her thriving acting
career.
In her words:
“I was actually introduced into the industry by my
father, Prince Jide Kosoko. Initially, I didn’t like it. As
at that time, I was awaiting admission into the
University.
I was like, ‘let me finish schooling, I can always come
back to acting because education first’. But he told
me that I could always do it with schooling.
I heeded his advice. To God be the glory today, I am
a graduate and I have attained this level in my career.
My father convinced me before I joined. He asked me
to star in a movie titled, ‘Omo Olorire’ and that was in
2001. I had done some before then.
I was in ‘Ola Abata’ in 1999. In 2000, he asked me to
feature again and I was like why, you are turning me
to an actor just like that. I refused but after shooting
that movie, I got into the limelight,”.
