Nollywood actor Jigan Baba Oja has hailed fellow moviestar Soji Omo Banke. He recently thanked Soji for his amazing kindness and support during his stay in the United States.
Speaking via his social media page, Jigan revealed that Omo Banke opened his doors and heart when he needed him the most in a foreign land.
According to him, he would have suffered greatly in the United States if it weren’t for Omo Banke, and nobody in the Nigerian film industry has shown him the kind of love the Yoruba actor showed him in America.
He stressed that Omo Banke took him to his home, gave him food, and treated him like he was family throughout his stay in the U.S.
“If not for Soji Omo Banke, I would have suffered a lot when I went to America. I haven’t seen anyone else in the movie industry who could do what Soji did for me. He welcomed me into his home, fed me, and treated me like family,” he said.

Jigan Baba Oja further noted that getting close to Soji made him realize how humble and caring he is, stressing that he will never forget the actor’s gesture.
He concluded by saying that Omo Banke never complained or gave him any attitude during his stay at his home.
“So many times, he gave up his bedroom for me and slept in the living room. I used to microwave food about ten times a day because I love food—but Soji never complained, never showed any attitude. He paid all the bills in the house and never asked me for a dime.
Whenever they invited him to MC an event, he would tell them to give me the job instead. He would drive me to the venue, wait, and hand me the full payment without taking a single naira. Only God can reward him for that. I will never forget his kindness till I die.
It’s when you get close to people that you truly know them. Soji is very calm, gentle, and humble. His actions showed the kind of person he really is,” he added.
