Biography

Kudirat Morenikeji Ogunro, widely known by her moniker "Kudi Alagbo," is a Nigerian actress, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. Born into a lineage of traditional herbalists, she successfully merged her family heritage with her entertainment career, running a popular herbal medicine business alongside her film work. Originally a professional hairstylist, Ogunro entered the movie industry under the mentorship of veteran actress Iyabo Ojo, eventually transitioning from a stylist to a producer and actress known for her rugged and street-savvy roles. In late 2024 and 2025, she expanded her brand beyond entertainment, signing a major endorsement deal as the brand ambassador for the real estate firm Clever Castles. In 2026, she remains a trending topic following the high-profile wedding of Priscilla Ojo (daughter of Iyabo Ojo) to Tanzanian star Juma Jux. During the "JP2025" festivities, Ogunro was publicly honored by Iyabo Ojo for her pivotal role in helping raise Priscilla, with the veteran actress describing her as a "second mother" who held the home front while Ojo was on set during their early career years. She is also the author of the autobiography Kudi Alagbo: An Egba Warrior With Herbal Powers, which details her journey from selling herbs on the streets to becoming a celebrated filmmaker.
