Actress Bolaji Ogunmola believes that sexual scenes are sometimes essential for storytelling. In an interview with *Saturday Beats*, she explained, “I think it is needed sometimes to drive home certain aspects of the character portrayed. One cannot be telling stories about prostitutes or strippers and have them fully clothed. If the story requires it, then let them show it. When a film is very good, the sexual scenes are not the first thing people would remember; it would be about how the film made them feel.”
Ogunmola, who has been receiving rave reviews for her role in the movie *Before Valentines*, described the film’s reception as “extremely humbling and very exciting.” She added, “For one’s work to resonate with people is something to be thankful for.” Regarding her portrayal of Chika, she said, “My experience playing ‘Chika’ was wonderful. I literally just had to ‘channel’ a friend I knew in university who was exactly like the character. I remember reading the script and saying I wanted to play it that way. Everyone knows—or has experienced—a Chika before; maybe without the drama, but we all know a Christian sister who is literally married to Jesus.”
