Few months ago, it was widely reported that
Veteran Nollywood actress Sola Sobowale, was so broke that she had to
stoop so low to turn a local street sweeper in London to earn a living.
Reacting to the speculations, Sola in a recent interview maintained that it was lies and cooked up stories because she never swept anywhere else apart from her apartment.
"I didn't sweep London streets to survive. I never swept except it is my house. If people peddle rumours that I sweep the streets of London to survive, so be it. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. The bottom line is that I believe in dignity of labour but I have never swept in any land to earn money in my life," she told City People.
However, the beautiful actress who's also known as 'Toyin Tomatoes' also said, its nobody's business the kind of work she does to survive, after all there's dignity in labour.
“I can do anything for money so far it is not stealing. As I said, I can do anything to make money apart from being a prostitute, a cocaine pusher, or 419. Anything that will give me good money is what I can do because “owo igbe kin run (money gotten from shit carrying does not smell shit). If at the end of the day I’m spending the money, does it smell of shit or faeces?” she said.
The light skinned actress added that her books will soon be out, until then will people get to know what she was really doing in England.
