Fast rising actress, Omowunmi Dada’s
love for the arts led her to study creative arts at the University of Lagos,
shelving her early dream to become a lawyer. She speaks with angeladaviesblog.
How
did you get into acting?
When I was in secondary school, I wanted
to become a lawyer. Right from secondary school days, I have always loved
things that are art-related. I was in Igbo cultural troupe in primary school,
Yoruba cultural troupe, drama, literary and debating club as well as executive
in press club in secondary school. So, when it was time to enter into the
university, I thought it was appropriate to study creative arts and not law
anymore. Yes, I have that law thing inside of me; sometimes my friends call me
human rights activist because I hate when people are mistreated. I tend to
fight for people’s rights and all that, but I think I am more artistically
inclined. So, I studied creative arts at the University of Lagos.
