I grew tired of being in movies that had no message – Bimbo Akintola

Nollywood Actress, Bimbo Akintola has explained why she has been off our screens in recent times.
The actress whom many thought had stopped acting recently returned in the Ebola movie ’93 Days’ where she played late Nigerian heroine Dr Adadevoh.

Asked if she took time off to rebrand to rebrand, the actress said she only decided to be choosy about scripts.
In her own words, “It is not a matter of rebranding! It is a matter of believing in something. I started talking to myself that I am tired of being in every movie that doesn’t say anything. I decided I want to be part of movies that say something and I choose my script now. We as actors have a duty to Nigeria, because we are known, so people use that popularity to make a difference. So with me, I am only doing stories that mean something to me.”
She also revealed she took a break to work on her physique at her local gym.
