Movie Critic Tolu Fagbure Explains Why Actress Tayo Sobola Cannot Be Cast in Certain Roles

Controversial Nigerian movie critic Tolu Fagbure has explained why actress Tayo Sobola, popularly known as Sotayogaga, cannot be cast in certain movie roles.


He said the actress has “lost her place in acting” because of the permanent tattoo on her arm, which he believes limits the kind of characters she can convincingly portray. Speaking during an interview with Dele Adeyanju on Agbaletu TV, he said the tattoo makes it difficult to cast her as a “responsible housewife or child” in films.

He said:

“Tayo Sobola should be trained. That lady is trainable. In my own opinion, I think she has lost her place in acting because of the permanent tattoo on her arm and she would insist on wearing dresses that expose the tattoo. And you will tell me that is a responsible housewife?”
He added that professional training is essential for actors, stressing that performers should avoid permanent body markings that cannot be removed for roles.

“So, will you cast her as a responsible housewife or child? This is lack of training. As an actor, you’re not supposed to have body markings, body piercings or permanent features on your body. You’re not supposed to have anything that cannot be removed from you for a movie role.”

Well at least she can be cast as a beautiful woman!!!

    1. This goes beyond mere opinion of Sotayo to me. Sounds more like a personal attack on her person cos he's not a producer neither is he a director to come up with such nonsense. He's just a mere critic.

  2. Lol. What else does this man do besides condemning others in his field? Is he trying to rage bait them? Angelina Jolie has several tattoos and it hasn't ruined her career. Let's even bring it home, Bolanle Ninalowo has tattoos and he shows them off. He should rest please. I don't even like tattoos but let people do what pleases them especially if it doesn't affect you directly.

    3. In the west even the nurses and doctors that will treat you have visible tattoos though its now in the ethic not to but most if not all have designs everywhere. So he should not discriminate. Even permanent eye brow is now called a tattoo

  13. In this era? No na, the tattoo can be covered by a MUA.

  14. This is ridiculous. So the makeup department cannot cover up her wear makeup coverup or costume dept. put her in long sleeves in some scenes. If she is a multidimensional actress she should be able to play any role. The tattoos are not pretty but I do not see it being an impediment if she is the right person for the role. Cast the woman and work around the tats, put her in long sleeves, put on makeup, or whatever else is possible. Lamest excuse ever.
