In Yoruba Nollywood, few comic actresses have captured hearts and laughter quite like Kudirat Soremi, famously known as “Mama No Network.” Her unique brand of comedy and unforgettable screen presence have made her a household name, ensuring that whenever she appears on screen, even the sleepiest viewer is wide awake and ready to laugh.
The Birth of “Mama No Network”
Kudirat Soremi hails from Ogun State, where her passion for acting was ignited at a young age. Inspired by the legendary Folake Aremu, popularly known as Orisabunmi, Soremi set her sights on Nollywood over two decades ago. While she initially played a variety of roles, it was her decision to specialize in one unique character that changed her career forever.
Her Signature Role: Comedy with a Twist
What sets Mama No Network apart is her hilarious portrayal of a woman with partial deafness—a character who is always hilariously out of sync with conversations around her. The phrase “no network” became synonymous with her, a playful nod to her character’s inability to hear properly, much like a phone with poor reception. This role first gained widespread attention in the hit movie “Lagos to Benin,” produced by comedy legend Bolaji Amusan (Mr. Latin). Since then, her performances have become must-watch moments in any film she graces.
From Movie Star to Comedy Icon
Mama No Network’s comedic genius has not gone unnoticed. Her infectious humor and impeccable timing have made her a favorite among both fans and fellow entertainers. Top Nigerian comedians frequently feature her in their skits, further cementing her status as a comedy icon. Her talent has also been recognized with numerous awards, including the prestigious Comic Actress of the Year at the 2021 Emperor Awards and a recent honor from Ijebu Rewa.
Why Audiences Love Her
What makes Mama No Network so special is her ability to turn a simple character into a cultural phenomenon. Her performances are relatable, memorable, and endlessly entertaining. She brings joy to millions, proving that sometimes, sticking to what you do best is the key to lasting success.
For anyone looking for pure, unfiltered laughter, Kudirat Soremi “Mama No Network” is the name to remember—her unique role continues to light up screens and hearts across Nigeria and beyond.
