Her first home video film was Mojere, which was done in Yoruba. She was awarded best actress at the REEL Awards. In 2015, Mogaji debunked filmmakers’ preference for younger generation actors in Nollywood. She explained that their reasons can not be based on the act of professionalism, because there is nothing younger actors were doing that the older ones can’t still do. In a 2018 interview with The Punch, Mogaji explained that due to her Islamic background, she has never acted semi-nude or kissed throughout her decades of practising as an actress.
