Nollywood actor Ayoola Ayolola, known for his role in the SGIT series, has shared insights into his motivation for entering the world of acting.

During an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Ayolola discussed his journey to becoming the beloved actor he is today, acknowledging that he had always recognized his acting potential.

However, he admitted that he didn't actively pursue it until he faced financial struggles and reached a point where he needed to sustain himself.

He said, “I always knew I could act. I had this mentality that as a stage performer, I was acting as well. I always knew that no matter what happened before going on stage, I would go there and I would deliver. The fact that I was doing that gave me the courage to try acting. But the decision didn’t come until I was so broke and so hungry.”

Not hungry for success o, I was physically hungry for days and I couldn’t afford things,” he said. “I was borrowing from here to pay for this and borrowing from there to pay for that. It was a mess. I had my car that I had won and the leverage and whatever but liquid cash I didn’t have. I wasn’t smart enough at the time to convert the things I had at the time into sustainability financially. So I was bored, broke, and hungry,” he told Chude.
