Enjoy the chat below…
Her Background
I use to live in a very beautiful environment, Tincan Island Estate in Apapa, Lagos, but it was later destroyed by the government. I think it is the best place that anybody can have a childhood.
Although my dad didn’t usually allow me to go out to play, I had fun on the few occasions that I did. There were over 60 houses in the estate but we knew one another and we lived like one big family. As an only girl, there were times that I felt lonely but I had a wonderful childhood.
On her career and parents’ reaction
My father didn’t support my movie career at the outset but my mum was always there for me. My father is a disciplinarian and he believes so much in education.
He didn’t support me not because he didn’t like the profession but he wanted me to complete my studies and he also wanted me to go into a more structured profession. However, they are both in total support of my career now.
Her Role models
My mother is my biggest role model. She is a very strong and hard-working person. No matter what life throws at her, she never gives up; rather, she would always stand tall.
I love that about her and that is the same type of person I want to be to my children. I also admire Eucharia Anunobi.
On Motherhood
That is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Whenever I am stressed out and I remember my kids, a long smile crosses my lips. It is really a blessing from God.
I don’t know what would have happened to me if I hadn’t had my kids the time I did. Even though it could be stressful, it makes me more responsible because there are people that depend on me totally. I love my kids and I live for them.
Marriage crisis
I know there were some reports about my marriage being in crisis. There is no marriage that is perfect as there will always be ups and downs. However, I don’t like talking about my marriage in the media because I like to keep my private life private.
The bottom line is that everything is fine. My husband is a very nice and kind person. We only dated for six months and we got engaged just a month after we first met.
Relaxation
I read books and I surf the Internet a lot. I like to learn. I also love to unwind at the beach with my children. I am more of an indoor person; you would hardly find me in parties.
Fashion
I go for whatever fits. I am not interested in what is in vogue. Comfort is the most important thing to me.
Nice interview.
