Lola Idije speaks about Sotayo Gaga's personality

During the interview, the actress described Sotayo as a good person and insisted that her reserved nature was often misunderstood.

“Sotayo is a good child, a blessed child. If people don’t go close to her, they will say she is strict. Sotayo loves being alone; it isn’t pride, just like me,” she said.

She maintained that being quiet or preferring one's own company does not necessarily mean someone is unfriendly.

Interestingly, Lola Idije also admitted that she shares a similar personality trait with Sotayo.

The veteran actress explained that she does not naturally joke around or play with people outside her acting environment.

“Like me, I only joke when I am acting; I don’t know how to do it otherwise,” she added.
