Comedienne and actress, Omotunde Adebowale - David, better known as Lolo 1 , has opened up that it was her parents that made her study law in the university.
She revealed this recently while speaking with the JSS 3 students of the African Church Grammar School, and the Gateway Secondary School , Abeokuta during the Ogun State edition of ‘Promasidor Harness Your Dream ’ career guidance workshop in Abeokuta.
         The on - air personality , who was called to the bar in 2000 after completing her undergraduate studies at the Lagos State University , said she practised law for three years before switching to broadcasting in 2004.
         Lolo 1 stated, “ When I was a child , I loved radio, I loved novels and I loved television . My mum would tell me that I would stay in front of the television and I would act out everything they were doing . I would sing and I would dance . So, I did not need anyone to tell me that this is where I would end up . When I wanted to shift from law to the entertainment sector, my mum cried. She did not understand why I would leave law for singing , acting and all that . But when we make a success out of anything we choose to do , it makes our parents proud . You must strive to be the best in what you do. ”
She went ahead to advise the students to discover themselves and choose the careers most suitable . Lolo 1 said, “ You must answer for yourself individually. You must know what your strengths are . Whatever decision you make now is going to affect your future . Anything you set out to do, you must always strive to be the best in it .”
