Veteran actress Joke Silva has praised the acting prowess of her colleague Bimbo Akintola, who the 58-year-old says inspires her.

The 58-year-old also praised Akintola for interpreting roles brilliantly in both English and Yoruba language.

She wrote “Bimbo Akintola is an actress of whom very often I am in awe. She is what I call a morpher embodying whatever character she plays with amazing ease and seeming effortlessness – and she does with whether she is performing on screen or on stage. To crown it all, she brilliantly pulls off both English and Yoruba roles with equal ease. You inspire me.”
