Toyin Aimaku


Toyin Aimaku is one Nollywood actress rising gradually to the top of the movie industry, especially in the Yoruba genre. She came on the scene about four years ago but her face has become prominent in many movies including Etanu and Lion of Magun series of Super Story.

The movie industry had gone sensational before Toyin came on the scene, but it wasn’t the bling bling and the razzmatazz associated with the show biz industry that attracted her. She says that the passion she had for the make-believe industry even as a young girl made her to become a part of it. The opportunity of becoming an actress came in 2004 when her uncle introduced her to Bukky Wright, a popular actress. Since then, Toyin has remained unstoppable; as she forges on and on. Though she loved acting, when it was time to fill the university matriculation forms, Toyin chose to study Marketing.

Toyin however said it had not been easy, confessing that stardom had practically made her live a fake life. She said, “You have to fake who you really are, you have to fake your lifestyle. I don’t have to lie about it that is what we do; we live fake lives. I used to be a very playful person, but this profession has turned me to be a reserved person, otherwise a lot of people will take advantage of you and say negative things about you. Let me tell you, we live fake lives. Indeed, her lifestyle has changed. To ‘belong’, Toyin said she now goes out of her way to shop at exclusive places; something she wasn’t doing when she was coming up.

Toyin is one of the very few actresses who do not have much scandal trailing them. She thanks God for that, and believes that she will not be involved in any scandal throughout her career. She says she try as much as possible to live a decent life so as not to bring any scandal to my person and she has no intention of acting nude, she can not be scandalized in that aspect..

She may not act nude, but when it comes to dressing ‘hot’, Toyin takes the lead. She is one of the actresses who are daring when it comes to skimpy dressing, and she can give men something to ogle after. Her status and her dress style, coupled with her career could account for the one thousand and one admirers she has.

Of all the millions of admirers that she has, she was able to single out one of them as her boyfriend, the main guy in her life. She says she has a boyfriend, he is doing well. He has asked her to marry him though he has not done that in the proper way. In any case, she knows they will get married. The boyfriend does not mind the incessant phone calls and numerous admirers that she has.She is so much in love with her guy that she can sacrifice anything for him, even her profession.
