Mama Ajasco Moji Oyetayo

Actress and voice-over artiste, Moji Oyetayo, popularly known as Mama Ajasco, hit the landmark 40 years on Friday.

The NDLEA and FRSC ambassador released a series of pictures in an Instagram post to celebrate the milestone.

Describing herself as blessed, chosen and favoured, the actress declared that “grace found me.”

Moji emerged chairman of the Lagos chapter of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN) at an election held in February after her only opponent, Emeka Rising Ibeh, withdrew from the race.

She took over from Don Pedro Aganbi and is expected to lead the chapter for two years.

A finalist in the 12 Ambassadors TV talent show produced by Paul Obazele for Unity Bank in 2009, Moji’s first major acting role was in John Njamah’s D8 (Dormitory 8).

Her biggest role so far is as Mama Ajasco in the TV sitcom, Papa Ajasco, produced by Wale Adenuga Productions.

She has also appeared in Jenifa and Daughters of Eve.
