Aunty Ramata Speaks Out on Her Looks, Marriage to Ijoba Lande, and Feeling Snubbed by Odunlade Adekola
Popular Yoruba actress Aunty Ramata recently sat down with Feel Right TV to discuss various aspects of her life, career, and personal experiences in the Nigerian film industry.
During the interview, she addressed the constant public curiosity surrounding her appearance, stating bluntly that her looks are a creation of God and that she did not receive any explanation from her parents about why she looks the way she does.
Aunty Ramata also expressed disappointment over not being invited to the burial of actor Odunlade Adekola’s father, saying the omission left her feeling unhappy and overlooked.
On the topic of relationships, she made it clear that she is not currently interested in any romantic involvement and wishes to be left alone for the time being.
Regarding her connection with fellow actor Ijoba Lande, Aunty Ramata affirmed that she considers him her husband, although the traditional bride‑price payment has not yet been completed.
She summed up her thoughts with the following statement: “My parents didn’t tell me why I look like this. God created me this way. God created me like that. I don’t like men. Those interested in me should wait, I am not ready yet. Ijoba Lande is my husband but he has not paid my dowry. I wasn’t happy. Odunlade Adekola didn’t invite me for his father’s funeral.”
