Nollywood actress, Toyin Alausa, starred in Dayo Amusa’s recently premiered movie ‘Omoniyun’, which brought to the fore the issue of oppression of the girl-child. In this interview withshe talks about her role in the movie, how women cope in a patriarchal society and her expectation at finding love again. Excerpts:I played Mama Fiyin. Mama Fiyin is one of those African mothers who have experienced bad marriage. Her first husband left her and she was left to train her daughter Fiyinfolu.
She was busy looking forward to her marriage to the prince and of course that caused her a lot. It actually cost her daughter.You played the mother of Fiyinfoluwa whose character was played by Seliat Adebowale, a relative newbie. What was it like? It wasn’t a seniority cadre kind of relationship. We didn’t have that kind of relationship. We were more or less like one big family.
You are just alone in the world because nobody is going to believe me. It is your world against his. So when I read that part, I said aaah, I wish I could have been able to do something different, like this is the way it’s supposed to be. I wished this was what I was going to do but well, that’s how the story goes.
Or if you can correct or undo the wrong that has been done, you can undo it. If you can correct the mistakes, then you try as much as possible to correct the mistakes. You know, there are so many things that happen at the end of the day when you have been pushed or forced or coerced as the case may be, into marriage before you want to. You know, when the deed has been done, you just live with the regret or try and make a correction.Well, yes I get advances from men but I don’t allow that to confuse me, let me use that word. I don’t allow that to confuse me.
