Early life and career

Daramola was born on 15 February 1978.[1][2] She is a graduate of Obafemi Awolowo University.[1] In 1998, she made her film debut in a series titled Palace.[1] She also starred in Durodola and Above Law.[1] In 2016, her daughter was reported to be the host of a reality television show.[4] Her film, Cobweb, which she produced and starred in got her Africa Movie Academy Awards best-supporting-actress nomination. She noted that the film was inspired by her personal experiences, as her parents didn't want her to delve into acting while in school.[5] She is the founder of the "Action Against Rape in Africa" initiative, which is a movement that seeks to curb rape and bring its perpetrators to book in Africa.[6]

Personal life

In a 2016 interview, she revealed that she was raped while she was a teenager.[7][8][9] In an interview with Tribune, she explained that women need to be know their value and being financially dependent on their husband. She posited that domestic violence is a greater wreck to her home, than infidelity.[10] In 2017, she publicly spoke on the modesty of Aliko Dangote, describing him as "the most humble person on earth".[11]

In March 2018 interview with The Punch, Daramola-Salako stated that she consider her big boobs to be an asset not a curse: “The first attraction for most men who come across me is usually sexual. They see my big boobs and are moved immediately. But as a person, I would never go out with any man because they are attracted to my boobs because I know that it is too ordinary. As far as I’m concerned, women should stop seeing these ‘assets’ as a problem but take them as a blessing. It is only by so doing that they’ll know how to carry themselves better. They should carry themselves well and not be ashamed."[12]
