Madam Grace Owoola Oyin-Adejobi, the late Chief Oyin Adejobi, a famous Yoruba actor’s wife, popularly known as ‘Iya Osogbo,’ is a well-known Nigerian actress, producer, and television personality.

She was born in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, on August 23, 1930, to a contractor father and a merchant mother.

Iya Osogbo’s nickname was derived from the title of a popular film in which she acted in 1999, “Eran Iya Oshogbo.”

She has worked with Orogun Adedigba, Kuye, Kootu Ashipa, and others. Her national and international recognition has solidified her place as one of Nigeria’s top actresses.

REPORTERS AT LARGE earlier reported that Iya Osogbo, who she gave up on appearing on screen at a point, during an appearance on a radio magazine program on Space 90.1FM, Parrot Xtra Hour on Radio, anchored by Olayinka Agboola in Ibadan, Oyo State, said she started her acting career some 67 years ago.

Contrary to her beliefs, she noted that she had already made her name before she acted in the movie Eran Iya Osogbo.

The actress spoke for the first time about the day an excited fan nearly run her car over her in Ibadan.

She said the experience has remained indelible in her memory.

The fan eventually returned from her car to tell me she wanted to exchange greetings. She later enveloped ten thousand naira and dashed me. Iya Osogbo said

The veteran actress expressed displeasure over the near-nudity in Nollywood today, advising actresses not to be deceived by the world’s pleasures but to believe they can succeed through hard work and the grace of God.

Iya Osogbo said she met her late husband, Oyin Adejobi, in her youth. They attended the same school and lived on the same street.

She said that apart from the death of her husband, the lowest point in her life was when her fourth child, a female, died.

I got to attain this age because of God’s mercy. In addition, the almighty also gave me the wisdom of preserving my body and being moderate in all I have been doing. Our youths should emulate this,s too. They should learn to be God-fearing, too.
