This is just out of this world, remember this woman from super story? Toyin Tomato? Well shes now a mere support worker in London, checkout her interview:
What exactly has kept you in England?
It’s my children. There is a Yoruba saying that ‘Ojo Ale Mi Ni Mo Lo tuse’( preserve my future) I’m taking care of my children because a time will come when it will be their turn to take care of me. I am slaving in England and i don’t give a damn what people say. I thank God, I have heard them say how can she move from grace to grass, how can she a whole movie star in Nigeria and be doing this kind of job here. I can do anything for money as long as it is not theft, cheat or sell myself or my morals. If it is to sweep the streets of London to make money to survive or keep my children going I ‘Sola Sobowale’ will do it. I believe in what is called Dignity of Labour. In England when i am going to work i don’t hide myself i put on my uniform from home, on my uniform it is written there ‘Household 21’ this is me, i am not ashamed and i don’t give a hoot about anybody when i know that i can’t beg for money so why should i pretend.
Are you a social Worker?
I am a support worker and i am proud of what i do.
The impression people had was that you were doing very well in Nigeria was it a wrong impression or what?
Well people are entitled to their opinion, and i can’t blame them but one thing i won’t do is call myself what i am not. They say i am doing well in Nigeria, how much are we being paid for our roles? If a do a movie i get maybe half a million my children attend good schools here before they left after i pay my children’s school fee, house rent though thank God i have a house of my own, and i do some other things what do i have left? Like i said i won’t pretend to be what i am not and i must say that ’Sola Sobowale knows what she is doing.’
What is your love life like because a lot of people would like to know about your husband is he in England too?
I will not be able to answer that, i will just say ‘Let Them Say’.
There were rumours that you were in Saudi Arabia and that you were involved in drugs how did you take the news?
I was in England when i got the news, it was when i came home at the Airport that people began to say that how did you do it we heard you were beheaded and i made a joke out of it. I said do you believe in magic it was all magic that placed the head back and they all laughed. But i was surprised though because i don’t even know where Saudi Arabia is on the map. I wonder why people just talk to tarnish another person’s image. God has made me the head and i shall not be relegated. I thank God for people who believed in me, and those who stood by me. Those that said ‘We know her yes she can shout, but she can never do that’. I thank God for them and i appreciate them. Let me use this opportunity to reassure my fans that ‘Sola Sobowale’ will never and i repeat with a capital ‘NO’ touch anything that is illegal. My father was a retired principal and my late mum a retired headmistress. I am proud of my family and where i am from so i am from a very disciplined background.
Were you ever arrested at any Airport at any time?
No .I am always at ease all the time, effortless when i am travelling no hassles, no stress but praises.

its her life..they should let her be, a lot of Africans are here doing even worst like care job i.e. sometimes cleaning old people's mess. Afer all, Nigeria is not protective of its citizens, a country where greed has shadowed people's way of thinking. a country where a little child can not work on the street without fear, parents can not sleep deep at night because some people wants their hard earned property, even their live, a country where the governemnt has no value for the welfare & the live of its citizeens. Even dough the TAX and cost of living here would nt let you save money but at list ur life and property is assured and the quality of living is 100% better than Nigeria MTCHEWWW..let the poor woman be pls

LET THEM SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT TO SAY. They will always talk. Jus do wat you do best and as you're moving up, they'll always be below you. May God keep u and ur children. God bless you.

Nigerians like to gossip a lot. This woman is well to do in Nigeria, she has a house of her own and takes care of her children very well. She is not one of the lazy bitches in Nigeria who thinks having one million naira in their bank account guarantees their future. She has gone to London to do a very good job and secure her future, support or care work in the UK is a very well paid and respected job.
