[3][4] Abiodun was born into a royal family at Ijan-Ekiti in Nigeria's Ekiti State, thus making her an Omoba of the Yoruba people.
A permanent member of the troupe, she gained fame as an actress, taking the main roles in all the plays performed by the company.
Other television productions included Oyinbo Ajele (1986), Esentaye (1997) and Ayelaagbe (1998), all in support of traditional culture when threatened by colonialism.
They include Erelu in Aropin n'Teniyan, Iya Ewe in Ija Orugun and, above all, the title role in Moremi.
[3] She has in the past commented on how Nigeria's leaders "renege on their promises",[3] but in March 2018, when Duro Ladipo's play Ajagun Nla was presented at the National Theatre in Lagos, Abiodun thanked the government for their support and told Nigerian women that they needed to be patient as wives and mothers, bearing in mind that "our rich culture must be preserved and promoted".
