Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, has returned to Nigeria after months of maternity vacation in the United States of America. That may not be new, though. What you will find new about the beautiful actress is that she has just finished shooting a new movie titled Iron Lady with stars based abroad and Nigeria. We learnt that the new film was shot in Florida using some such exotic locations in Tampa Bay and Miami cities. Recall that Laide just launched Uncommon Alhaja, another super flick which was conceptualized and completed in U.S. while she was on holiday. 'Iron Lady' will no doubt position Laide as an actress who is not only creative but adventurous in her chosen field as a great role interpreter with flair for elegance and professionalism. Her choice of Florida, we gathered, was stemmed from the fact that the cities have such scenes that will delight the audience.
