Actress and entrepreneur Aisha Lawal has attributed her life’s turning point to the COVID-19 era, revealing she made N10 million in just a week or two during that time.
In a recent interview with Biola Bayo, Aisha also addressed rumours about receiving a Venza car from MC Oluomo, denying the claims and urging people to respect her name.
According to her, she drives a GX 460 and owns several shops, which she single handedly achieved.

“One man, I wonder if it was set up or if he smoked weed, sat and set the camera in front of him and said MC Oluomo collected Venza from him and gave it to me. I have regard for MC Oluomo because he has done so well for people I know. I didn’t collect any car. Why will I die mysteriously when I didn’t eat mysteriously?
“I didn’t watch the video in detail, but then I heard the part where he said, “Aisha Lawal, I am the owner of the blue Venza with you.
“Common, put some respect on my name, I have suffered in the past, I didn’t even drive a Venza, I drive a GX 460, and my shop is like the 4/5th building”, she said.
Speaking of COVID she said: “Covid was the turning point in my life. I made N10m in a week or two”.
Aisha also shared insights into her past, recounting how she started driving at 16 and would often take night buses to save on hotel costs.
She said: “I started driving at age 16. I would take the night bus to Oshodi at Abba, wearing my nose mask and face cap. They saw me then, but they didn’t say anything. I usually take the night bus because I don’t want to pay for a hotel.
“I am an actress, and people know me. I would enter vehicles transporting fowls from Abba to Ibadan, sometimes to Ijebu Ode before I started going to China”.
She also spoke about her family background, mentioning that her father initially wanted her to study Theatre Arts but disapproved of acting due to misconceptions about the profession.
“My dad actually wanted me to study Theatre Arts, but my mum never wanted it. My dad didn’t know that I started acting till he died, but I didn’t tell him because he taught actress give births outside wedlock, and don’t have stable marriage”, she said.
She added, “Nobody likes anybody on social media, that’s what I noticed.
I have enjoyed and suffered life like a ball. My grandma would say, “May your days be rough, because one with a smooth life wouldn’t enjoy a long life.”
