That was the beginning of her story and her career has been on the ascendancy ever since.


She started as an innocent and naïve girl who fell to mischievous machinations of some street-wise guys in Gbenga Adewusi’s popular movie; “Ige Adubi”.The happy ending to the story marked the beginning of Opeyemi’s rapid rise to the top. She, however,believe that her rise has not been on a platter of gold but the determined and dedicated.

Opeyemi Ayeola and a few other ladies and guys are the face of the emerging Yoruba movie industry.Most of this class of young,upwardly mobile and daring ladies,the end justifies the means,they breathed a new life to the industry but she belief it has to do with their orientation.Their generation of actors and actresses are much different from the old people.They have been able to bring about professionalism to bear on the industry.
