Nollywood Actress Speaks On Alleged Marriage To Hausa Traditional Ruler

Yoruba actress Sotayo Sobola, popularly called Sotayogaga, who was recently conferred with the title of “Saraunia”, has debunked viral reports of being married to the traditional ruler that crowned her the ‘queen mother’.

The Nollywood actress made this known in chat with SUN where she said “I don’t think emirs crown their wives ‘queen mothers’. If you are married to an emir, you cannot be everywhere. There is always a limitation as the wife of an emir.”

“The fact that I didn’t see it coming was the most surprising part. It just happened and I took a deep breath and embraced it. I got the title the first time I stepped into that kingdom. I had gone there for something else, I didn’t know I would be offered that prestigious title.”

When asked if she could ever give up her career for marriage, Tayo Sobola said “It depends. The question is that how many times do I even act now? One thing takes the other away; that is the truth. People think they can juggle, but eventually discover that one of those things would take precedence. Now, I do a whole lot of services that are taking me away from my career as an actress. It is not like my husband or anyone is saying don’t do movies again. He lets me do what I want. But I have to respect that there is a limit I can go when I am acting, and I don’t need to be told. “
