Binta Ayo Mogaji is a veteran Nigerian actress. According to the film critic Shaibu Husseini, Mogaji has been a part of at least 800 films, television shows, and theater productions.




Personal life


Born in 1964, Mogaji is a native of Agbo-Ile, Ibadan. Her father is an Islamic cleric, while her mother is an education administrator. In 2006, she married retired soccer player and physiotherapist, Victor Ayodele Oduleye. Prior to her marriage, she was romantically involved with actor Jibola Dabo and had a son as a result of the relationship.




Career


Her first home video film was Mojere, which was done in Yoruba. She was awarded "Best Actress" at the REEL Awards. In 2015, Mogaji debunked filmmakers' preference for younger generation actors in Nollywood. She explained that their reasons cannot be based on the act of professionalism, because there is nothing younger actors were doing that the older ones can't still do. In a 2018 interview with The Punch, Mogaji explained that due to her Islamic background, she has never acted semi-nude or kissed throughout her decades of practicing as an actress. She noted that producers know the type of role she can play.
