Was your overseas trip academic or pleasure?
At that time I just needed to travel out, have some rest and reflect on my life. I wanted to be sure of what I really wanted to be in life, whether to be a businesswoman, an actor or face my journalism career or whatever; I just needed a break.
And somehow, you returned with a lovely baby boy?
Yeah, that’s exactly what happened.
Did you meet his father on the course of the trip?
No, we flew together. He was not married and I had never been married too; he was my boyfriend at the time. We travelled out, things happened and I got pregnant. We were never married and I’m still single as we speak.
But you are probably not searching, are you?
I would say no because I’m engaged now.
Obviously, you are engaged to a Nigerian.
That’s very correct.
Do you share the popular notion among women that virtually all men are unreliable?
The truth is that not all people cheat and I am talking about both men and women; it is individualistic. There are always reasons why people cheat. For instance, someone may tell you that he or she has issues in their relationship but because they are not ready to quit, they do something to keep themselves happy. In the same vain, people always have a reason for staying in a relationship. However, every man has a weakness and it is the same with women. Whatever we have in men, there is its equivalent in women. But in life, once you make a choice, you should be ready to face the consequences; good or bad. Every man is a man and every woman is a woman. It all depends on how you play your cards. As an actress, I travel a lot. So, even if I date a Ghanaian or a Nigerian, I’m always somewhere outside home and away from my man. Would I ask my man to follow me everywhere? That is where trust comes into play.
So, what attracted you to this Nigerian?
Basically my man is unique. Though every man is unique but some are more unique than others; he is a special man. But as for why I chose a Nigerian man instead of a Ghanaian, you never can predict who you will fall in love with. I had a Ghanaian boyfriend, we broke up and now I’m getting married to a Nigerian. Whether he is a Ghanaian, Congolese, Sudanese or Nigerian doesn’t really matter. What matters is that I love him and I am comfortable with him. My man is romantic and hot; what more could a woman want in a man?
Would it be safe to describe your current visit as business turned into pleasure since your man is a Nigerian?
That is what it is. I flew here to work. But my man’s presence has made things a lot less stressful. I have done a couple of jobs and more are on the way.
In less than 2 years you have won about five awards. What is the secret?
There is no special secret. It is just the grace of God and hard work; it has been amazing and I am grateful to God. The awards have spurred me to always strive for the next level in my career and to always be hard working. Knowing that some people out there are watching and ready to appreciate hard work makes you want to strive for the best so the awards have motivated and challenged me. Now I realise that I need to be on my toes to justify the awards and also strive to move to the next level.
Who are your favourite Nigerian actresses and actors?
I wouldn’t want to pinpoint a particular actor or actress. Rather I would only say that I have always looked up to Genevieve and Mercy Johnson. I admire everything about Genevieve because she has made huge impact. But Mercy Johnson is the only actress I can watch and cry. And as for the men, it should be Mike Ezuruonye; he is my number one actor in Nollywood. He has tons of swag and attitude. He is a total package by my assessment.
As a pretty woman, you must be finding it a bit challenging to cope with male admirers…
The truth about life is that once you are a woman, pretty or not, you are bound to have admirers. It is more when you are pretty and that depends on how you comport yourself. However, public figures attract more attention and it is normal.
So, how do you deal with it?
I just live my normal everyday life. There is nothing I have seen today that I have never seen before; there is nothing new. However, there is no special strategy. The more popular you get, the more advances you get. I used to get over a 100 missed calls and numerous text messages from a particular man nce upon a time. To this day I have never met him. He would send messages about how he loves and dreams about me and how he was making love to me in his dreams and all that. At a time I got fed up and had to change my phone number.
Don’t you think that it is easier for women to cheat?
No, rather, it is easier for men to cheat and clean their mouths. Women usually go with emotions but a man can get hold of a woman and just because he is high, he could make love to her. A woman can only cheat when she is not getting attention. It is only when she doesn’t get her romantic dues at home that she can be tempted to seek it from outside. But men can do it for fun. A man can love his wife very well but still keep a mistress outside; that’s their nature. In extreme cases, a woman can have a fling but keeping a permanent boyfriend is out of it. But men can love you from heaven to earth and still have a permanent mistress.
