Remilekun Oshodi, the ace Nollywood actress fondly called Remi Surutu, has claimed to be the first video vixen in Nigeria.
In an interview on Oyinmomo, the 56-year-old actress said
she got into the video vixen role early in her acting career after a staff
member at LTV 8 informed her about plans to produce music videos in Nigeria.
She added that she was then invited to appear in videos for
artists including Ebenezer Obey and Sikiru Ayinde Barrister.
She added that she was then invited to be involved in
several music videos of singers, including Ebenezer Obey and Sikiru Ayinde
Barrister.
“Not long after I started my acting career, I saw Mr Babs
Fashina. He was at Lagos Television (LTV 8) at the time, and he told me they
were planning to start shooting music videos in Nigeria,” she said.
“That’s why I always say I’m the first video vixen in
Nigeria. I danced in Ebenezer Obey’s ‘Eniyan ti mo feran ju’ and Barrister’s
‘Fuji Garbage.’”
Remi, who is a native of Ondo state, kick-started her acting
career in 1985.
She debuted in ‘Village Headmaster’, the 1900s classic drama
series, but gained prominence for her lead role in ‘Surutu’, the hit Yoruba
movie.
Her role in the movie further increased her popularity among
fans and birthed the nickname ‘Remi Surutu’. She has since then featured in
hundreds of Nollywood movies.
