Yoruba actress, Kemi Afolabi, is currently on set of the movie 'Omo Keshinro', produced by Omowunmi Ajiboye and features movie stars including popular actor, Arakangudu.

The actress, speaking about the movie, explained that despite being born and bred in Lagos, she still finds it difficult to speak Yoruba language fluently.

Although it has become a regular occurrence during most Yoruba movies as the characters are sometimes not able to say some things in their dialect and immediately switch to the English language to be able to pass their message.

According to Kemi, “I still struggle with speaking in local dialect on set being a proper Lagos born and bred girl. But sometimes having special talents work with you makes it so easy because they are so good and fluent.
