My father summoned a family meeting over my decision to act —Efe Irele. I was born in Lagos to a father from Edo State and an Itsekiri (Delta State) mother but I like to claim to be from Lagos because that’s where I was born. I have three siblings – two sisters and a brother.
Education
For her primary schooling, Efe attended Corona Basic School in Gbagada, Lagos. She attended two secondary schools in Lagos before transferring to Queen’s College Yaba, where she earned her senior high school diploma. She studied at Bowen University in Iwo, Osun State, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology.
After graduating, she completed her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Ibadan, Oyo State. Following that, the film diva did not stop there but pursued her enthusiasm for education when she relocated to the United Kingdom soon after her duty. She then attended the University of Chester in London, where she earned a Master’s degree in Human Resource Management.
Career
Efe began modeling at the age of 15, which piqued her curiosity in front of the camera. She then resolved to better herself by venturing into acting.
She began modeling for musicians and appeared in Burna Boy’s Like to Party video in 2012. She also appeared in Adekunle Gold’s Sade music video.
The Sade video included some acting, so many were impressed when they watched her performance in the music video, which prompted her to pursue acting professionally.
Even though Efe had never considered pursuing a career in acting, she succumbed to the ideas and support of her followers and began attending movie auditions. As a result, she had her first screen debut in the film Aso Ebi, which was eventually adapted into a TV series.
She has appeared in several Nollywood films and television series, including Real Side Chics, Wrong Kind of War, Ire’s Ire, Zahra, and Scandals.
In addition to acting and modeling, Efe has a blog called “www.efeirele.com”, where she discusses healthy living, pets, and other topics.
She Owns a Non-profit Organization
In 2017, actress Efe established the Efe Irele Autism Foundation in honor of her autistic younger brother, Benedict. The excellent actor became interested in autism at a young age to aid and support her younger brother.
Knowing the extent of stigmatization that autistic children face, actress Efe took the opportunity to conduct extensive research on the subject while in London. When she returned, she formed the charity with the sole purpose of providing hope and financial aid to Autistic children while also inspiring their parents.

I won’t expose my body in a musical video
Efe Irele, an actress, model, and music video vixen, has disclosed her no-go zone for displaying her talents.
In a recent interview, the artist, who is from Edo State, stated, “I still do Video Vixen, but just some of the videos that come my way.” I will not display my body in a music video, no matter how much you give.”
“Even if the pay is so good and tempting, I will not show my skin. I can display nudity as a video vixen. That was never me, at any point in time.”
“From the outset, I had this kind of mindset that I am not going to show my skin to bring any attention to myself. In all the music videos I have featured in, I was properly dressed.”
Asked what she was doing before she ventured into the entertainment industry, Efe Irele said, “Before acting I owned an event management company and before that, I used to work as a Human Resource manager because I have a masters in Human Resource Management so I did that for almost a year and because I was frustrated in the job I just wanted to get out of there.”
“Before then, I was into TV modeling and I knew I loved being in front of the camera; it was a weird transition, I never really knew that I wanted to act but I knew that I loved watching movies and re-enacting things in the house with my parents and my siblings and I also used to do appearances in music videos, and then my manager said a lot of people wanted me for acting roles and just like that, I started falling in love with acting going to auditions regularly until I finally got my role in Aso Ebi.”
Efe Irele is in a happy relationship, but would rather keep her man off the public space.
She tells why: “I am in a relationship and I had to keep it off social media because as much as there is fame, I like to keep certain parts of my life to myself and enjoy it on my own. It’s almost the same way even with family.”
” I don’t always post my family so much so I like having that moment for myself. Celebrity relationships don’t last, I often hear but it’s like every human being we all have our faults.”
“People now generalise it because we are on the forefront of the general public. Every human being in every aspect of life will falter; no one is perfect at the end of the day.”

She is 32 years of age. Born on 4 September 1990.
