What was your growing up like?

I was an only child from my mum, so I grew up mostly with my
mum and grandma. My dad travelled a lot. It wasn’t really lonely
because I grew up in a place where there were always kids around, so I
had people to play with. But at the same time, I had the benefit of
actually being on my own most times that nobody knows me better than I
know myself. I feel that gave me the power and the liberty to know my
strengths and weaknesses. I actually had a very happy childhood. I like
my childhood because I had the opportunity to play with people around
and also the time to focus on myself.

Did you grow up here in Nigeria?

Yes, I was here for about eleven years, but I was born in
England. I did my nursery and a bit of primary school there. Then I came

my school cert and A-Levels. Then I went to the University of Manchester
where I studied Law and proceeded to law school there.

SHE TALKS MORE ABOUT HER CAREER AND LIFE
How easy was it for you to break into the industry?

It wasn’t easy, but I really believe in faith. While in
England, I kept on saying to my friends that this (Soundcity) is where I
want to work. I felt that because I already had my mind focused, it
wasn’t exactly so hard to achieve. When I got here, that was when the
real work started, because I had no presenting experience. I even had
more experience in acting than in presenting.

As an actress, how daring can you be at interpreting roles?

I actually take acting quite seriously. If the movie is all
about sex, then that’s basically just a porn flick. I’m not going to do
that type of movie where all we talk about is sex. But if there’s a
scene and as long as it’s not too provocative and as long as my
interpretation relates to the actual character, why not? I’m not going
to go nude or anything like that, but I do believe that there’s tasteful
nudity. I’m not going to do anything distasteful. As long as it’s
necessary to the role, why not?
What’s your kind of man?

Hardworking. I don’t necessarily want to date anyone in the
industry. I don’t judge people that do. But for me and the type of
commitment I’m looking for, if I’m to get into a relationship, I’m
intending to get married to the person. So I need someone that’s really
focused and fully committed. I’m not really about the physical
appearance, I’m more concerned about what you’re bringing to the table
as regards my future, children’s future and all. Basically, I want
someone who’s hardworking, has his head screwed up properly, who’s
making his money and is basically responsible.

You don’t think you can find him in the industry?

I didn’t say I can’t, but I’m not looking in the industry.
