I love her! This is my favorite show. She is so strong, smart, talented, beautiful and classy❤

[@japerkins3565]

Its unfortunate that they removed the entire cast except for Abishola and Bob for the next and last season. They preemptively canceled this show. It brought in millions for the network, but, they stuck to the formula that networks have used for decades, which is to create sit com content centered around black culture, then, cancel the shows after they secure the time slot and money, and put white content in its place. Two great examples are 'Living Single', and, 'Half & Half'. Its unfortunate, but, the more we are told that things change related to equity, the worse they really are. This show is a wonder - hopefully another network will be allowed to move forward with it, with the full cast reinstated. The network revealed that Bob Hearts Abishola will also end following its upcoming fifth season. Nov 29, 2023

@@japerkins3565 I agree. I was so sad to read about that. I feel like the ratings are going to come down. The whole cast makes the show. I hope the writers quickly realized this and bring the full cast back.

Thank you for tuning in! What was your favorite part?

[@mireillenya3581]

@@carlos. My favorite part was the Nigerian beautiful city footage, the view that Western media don't like to show on TV. Thank you for you wonderful work.

Gawwd! She is beautiful. All around beautiful

[@IanBetts-vf3lj]

Great interview! Bob hearts Abishola is one of my favourite shows to watch. It puts a smile on my face. Seeing the cast changing so much from the first season is quite astounding. Season 4 is still serving, smiles and tears!

[@aghonelego2379]

let me just drop her Yoruba names meanings here: Meaning of Fọlákẹ́ : Petted with wealth. Shortened form of: Afọlákẹ́ Olúfọlákẹ́ Meaning of Abísọ́lá : Born into wealth. Meaning of Olówòfóyèkù : The rich does not lack more titles (as an addition to his wealth).

I love her and the show ,been a fan since very first episode

Your interviewing style always catches my breath. Your empathy, complete listening skills, and warmth as a person shine through. You care so much about each subject broached. Kudos Mr Carlos Watson. As for the lovely Abishola😂❤, she just rocks

[@jalabi99]

What a wonderful interview!

[@qudduskehinde2133]

I was touched by the cast views and opinions 👌🏽

[@tolaadeogun8536]

I think the take from the crew nailed the interview.

[@joguestin]

You know you're Nigerian when you casually tell an interviewer: "I'm a really good writer".

[@nubianpaige]

She’s a beautiful lady, but I don’t support shows that have a lot Black American stereotypes especially when characters are played foreign Black people it becomes double disrespectful. However I love Nigerian people they are some of the smartest in the diaspora

[@MaryamBello-u8y]

U know it your problem

[@APOLO-oq3ce]

And what do you say about black Americans who play African characters?

Those Nigerian illustration videos are old gaddamit!

[@Barbara-jq2se]

You’re the 20th child in your family! That’s unbelievable! Man, how could she take being pregnant so many times in her life?! 🤷‍♀️I’m only responding to the answer Olowofoyeku gave about how many children are in her family. Yikes! 😳
