In an interview with The Punch, Laide Bakare revealed her personal and professional issues, pointing out that it might be difficult for a well-known individual to accurately assess who is honest about their intentions.

“As an actress, producer and director, my primary challenge has to do with navigating relationships and finding true love. Sometimes, people are attracted to my status and my profession, rather than the essence of who I am. Distinguishing genuine connections from those based on fame is often a delicate task.”

Studying Theatre Arts not only broadened my perspective on storytelling and communication, it also ignited a fervor for the entertainment industry. The vibrant and diverse experiences I had at the University of Ibadan became the stepping stone for my professional journey.

Now, as I navigate the dynamic field of the entertainment industry, I appreciate how that unconventional path has enriched my skills, offering a unique blend of creativity and communication that defines my roles in this exciting industry.”
