    Oh my goodness, I went to boarding school with Folake. So proud of her, I also recall having to pronounce her surname a couple times before I got it right, it's only 6 syllables cmon but it has a great meaning. Well done Folake very encouraged by your success.

    I came late to Bob ❤ Abishola and started binging last year and am enjoying S5 on Paramount+. I ❤ the show! I was already a fan of Gina Yashere’s comedy and while I remember seeing billboards about the show, it didn’t really convey the wonderful original comedy that it is (which is hard to do so I acknowledge that 😊). So I wanted to find some interviews with Folake to get to “know” her and she’s just great!
