What influenced your going into Nollywood?

It has always been a passion, dream and desire right from my childhood. I have always loved entertainment. And each time I watch movies, the passion get’s stirred up and going after it is a dream come true not just because of the money but because of the joy I derive from it. It makes me actualize my childhood dream.

How has the experience been so far?

It has been wonderful. Though, it has not been easy, as nothing good comes easy. I am still learning a lot in the industry and at the end of everything, I know I will get there. I see the industry as a school, the more I am into it, the more I acquire more experience.

How many movies have you featured in?

I have done a lot of movies and I have lost counts. Let me mention the ones I can remember. I have featured in Adolphos, the Village Hunter, Samma the Local Champion, Nurse Touch, Skelewu Babies, Black Mafias, among others

What exactly do you do or take to get into character?

 

It is a natural gift from God, I don’t need to do or take anything to get into a character because it is natural.

What is your impression about Nollywood generally and what do you think should be done to improve its standard?

Nollywood is daily evolving. There is so much about Nollywood and it is a field on its own. It is like that in other sectors and I think encomiums should be poured on the practitioners of Nollywood. For an industry that did not get support from any government agency or sponsored by a multinational to get to this level is a colossal achievement by all standard. We should be commended instead of being vilified. Just like in other industry, we have our ups and downs but we are not stagnant. We are improving everyday. If for nothing else, we are globally recognized as a force to reckon with as far as the business of movie making is concerned. We however need sponsors.

What do you hope to achieve at the end of the day as an actress?

My goals is to put smiles on the faces of the audience and fans through my characters because without them I am nowhere. I also know that when they are happy I am happy.

What else do you do aside acting?

For now all my goals and attentions are in acting. I am not thinking about anything at the moment because I don’t want to get distracted. I eat, sleep, dream and wake, acting.

How challenging is acting and so far which movie has been most challenging for u and why?

My most challenging movie is ‘Black mafias’ because that was my first sub-lead role few years ago. Acting is a fun game and so many people have different views about the world of acting but at the end of everything, we are going after one goal. On the other hand, there are so many challenges that when you think you are so good you may find out there are people who are better. That’s why one has to put in his or her best in any role being given to you. Most people think it is the fight of the fittest but I know it is just the grace of God for me.

Tell us about your love life?

My love life is private but I am in a relationship. In any case, I would love to marry a man who is honest, God fearing, good looking and caring. However, an unfaithful, arrogant and nagging man totally turns me off.

What part of your body do you cherish the most and why?

I so much cherish every part of my body from head to toe, most especially my face, because it is created by God.

What role can you not play in a movie?

If you men nude, I can but for a reason. I cannot go nude for nothing. If I’m to play nude I have to consider how much it is worth. This is based on the fact that we are in a society where our cultural practices are different from that of the western world. Hence, if the money is worth it, I can. Thereafter, I will use the same money to take care of the after-effect

 

Who are your role models in the industry?

Joke Silva, Liz Benson, Genevieve Nnaji and Omotala Jalade.

Which actor do you have a crush on?

None!
