Holiday Is Over! Actress Bukola Awoyemi On Work, Hubby, And Her Twins

Yoruba actress, Bukola Awoyemi, popularly known as ‘Arugba’ is fully back to the Movie industry after taking about two years off to take care of her twins.

In an interview with Punch, the ebony mother of two, who came to limelight after playing Arugba, in Tunde Kelani’s film that goes by the same title says the holiday period is over and also spoke on raising her twins, and her relationship with the father of kids, actor Damola Olatunji.

Sabbatical:

”I am fully back in action. I surely missed acting when I was away from the scene. You know, it is beyond work, it is a matter of passion. Acting is an intimate part of my life; and we can even say that life is acting and acting is life.

”So, it is good to be back to my life. “The little time I was away also gave me the opportunity to reflect more on the job itself. It gave me the opportunity to hone my craft and discover new ideas. The most important thing is that I am back on the scene red-hot, as the saying goes.”

On Nursing Her Twins:

“To nurse a single baby is not a joke, let alone taking care of two simultaneously. Twins are a double bundle of joy, but they also come with double challenges. It means you have to feed two people, often, at the same time.

”You have to dress two; you have to lure two people to bed almost at the same time. At times, they may choose to play. At times, they may fight each other – you know, as other children do.

”They may laugh together; they may choose to cry at the same time. So, all the tasks and challenges come double-double, just as the joy comes.”

“He is a very committed director. Of course, I also know that once you get on set, you have to give the job the creativity and seriousness it demands.

”So, there is no conflict of interest here.”

According to reports, Awoyemi reportedly snatched Olatunji from his wife, Raliat Olatunji, after the two were engaged in a secret affair after playing a romantic role together. This in turn resulted into pregnancy that produced the twins.
