Here are excerpts from the chat:


Can you recall your first movie and how much you were paid?

 I have been doing movies for two years now. I have always wanted to be an actress. I was so lucky. I was given a good role and was paid N25, 000. The movie is ‘Bank Money’ and I played the role of Bishop Okon’s lover. The film also featured Mr. Ibu and Francis Duru.

Who are those you admire and look up acting with?
 Oh, my sweetheart, Genevieve Nnaji is one. I love her so much. I pray God will take me to her level someday. I love Tonto Dikeh as well.

Tonto Dikeh with all her controversies?
Yeah. Everything about her inspires me a lot.

How about your male colleagues, who do you admire among them?
 Yeah, I love Zubby Michael and his ‘madness’. Gosh! I just love dark guys!
 
So, it’s safe to say you are crushing on dark guys like John Dumelo and Jim Iyke?
 You are really funny. Yes, John Dumelo and Jim Iyke are very cute. Only setting eyes on them can… you know… you understand na? But I can’t crush on a married man.

Aside dark skin, what else do you want in a man?
 I want him dark and handsome. He must also be God fearing and, most importantly, very rich.
 
Aside movies, what else do you do?
 I import goods from Dubai and China. Although, I have been to China only once, Dubai is my main route. I import hair and women accessories like bags in large quantity. I have a shop in Abuja and Owerri. Don’t mind me, I started looking for money on time, from the age of eight. In fact, I made my first N1000 at the age of eight. Not from an uncle or aunt’s gifts but from my hustles. For now, however, I want to focus on my career fully.

So, a single mom trained you?
 Yes, my mother single-handedly trained me. I promised to make her proud. My parents are still very much alive but they are not living together. Their separation wasn’t easy on us the children. It wasn’t a good experience, but my mother made us not to feel the absence of our dad.

How old were you when they separated?
 I was two-years-old.

So, you don’t have any fond memory of your father?
 I visit him sometimes. Please, let’s not talk about my family again. It is making me emotional.

Are you presently in a relationship?
 No, I am not. I am still a virgin. Oh yes, it may be hard to believe… but that’s the truth. Most people out there think virgins are hard to find in Nollywood. That’s why it may be hard to believe, but then, I am still a virgin at 25. I’m a proof. 

When do you plan to ‘feel like a woman’?
 Boyfriends can wait, my career is more important. But then rich guys can get close on a neutral relationship.

So, in those lonely nights, how do you conquer the urge to be with a man?
 As a virgin, I don’t have an urge for sex. I think maybe because I have not done it before, and I don’t also believe in masturbation. My virginity is hard to believe… right? But that’s the honest truth.
