Shakirat Taiwo is the dark-skinned, sexy daughter of veteran Yoruba actor Alhaji Taiwo Hassan, widely known as Ogogo.
Shakirat is an exact replica of her father, Ogogo. She holds a Gateway Polytechnic National Diploma in Business Administration.
She is a multi-talented actress who has been in a number of blockbuster films and skits, including Ko Fa Ja, Mofe, Rihannat, Olorun Oba Eto, and Iwe Eri Igbeyawo, to name a few. She is the veteran Ogogo's third child.
Shakirat had an interview with City People where she talked her career, family, and how she has managed her beautiful appearance.
Has your father’s identity given you acting roles in the industry?
I am an actress, but you don’t get to see me in movies like that because of the way the industry is. I know by Gods grace I will produce my own movies and I don’t need to get involved in some immoral things to become famous.
Do you think you get movie roles due to your father’s credibility?
No. For some weird reasons, some actors have actually told me that they want to make me a star because my dad gave them the limelight in the industry but they want me to date them. I won’t do that because my father has a name he has built for years in the industry. I don’t want to soil that name or drag it in the mud with scandals. It is believed that nothing comes for free, but then it is what it is and I don’t have to be a superstar at all cost. I’m not in a hurry. When it is my time, nothing can stop it. I am patient and not in a rush because I know it will be.
Did your father groom you in acting?
I have always loved acting. While growing, I pick up different roles and do rehearsals in my room. My dad also encouraged me and corrects me when I make mistakes.
What is that role that you can never act?
I won’t act a role where I am trying to portray someone having sex or go nude. I have a name to protect. I won’t go nude even if it involved millions because the money would be exhausted but the name would remain. It is like a stigma that would remain.
