Background
Laf’Up “My father, Mr. Jacob Ogundipe, was extremely
sceptical. He had hoped that I would become an accountant because I
always had good grades in accounting. But after a while he sensed I was
gunning for something artistic but it was not clear to him. He loved the
fact that I started my first business early selling handmade cards and I
was making a lot of money from it. My father is an Ijebu man so money
is important to him. They were not too sure that I would study Theatre
Arts till I started a diploma course in Theatre Arts. One day, I came
home with my results saying I have switched to full time degree and I
was studying Theatre Arts. My Mum sighed and gave me her blessings.”
He married his university girlfriend after proposing to her live on
stage at one of his shows at Jogor Centre Ibadan on December 26, 2010.
Laf’Up said she asked if the ring was original after saying yes.Funny family.
