Nollywood actress Bukola Ikuomola is no stranger to challenging roles on screen. But off-screen, she’s making waves in a far more unconventional industry: the sex toy business.
In a recent interview, Ikuomola opened up about her journey, the taboos surrounding her line of work, and her aspirations for the future.
“The sex toy industry is still somewhat taboo in many parts of Nigeria. But I’ve noticed a shift in attitudes. People are becoming more open-minded, and they’re realizing that sex is a natural part of life. It’s okay to explore and enjoy it,” she noted.
As a pioneer in her field, Ikuomola has taken it upon herself to educate her customers about sexual wellness. “I want people to understand that sex is not something to be ashamed of. It’s a vital part of our overall health and well-being. Sex toys can help people enhance their sexual experiences and improve their relationships.”
Despite the stigma associated with her business, the Troubled Water star actress has never let it interfere with her personal life. “I’ve never lost a relationship because of the nature of my business. Those who associate with me are open-minded and understand the difference between business and personal relationships. They are not judgmental and appreciate my true character.”
As for her future, Ikuomola is hoping to take her acting career to new heights. She expressed a desire to star in a Netflix series and explore different genres, from comedy-drama to psychological thriller. “I want to showcase my versatility as an actress. I’m always looking for challenging roles that will push me to my limits,” she said.
