Worked with DBN Televison as their entertainment presenter then. Also in NN24 I was  weather anchor (weather girl). So, for two years, I was broadcasting  and now back fully into movies.

What is your most challenging role?

Well, acting itself is challenging, I mean portraying oneself as another person itself is challenging. So, every movie has been a challenge.

What has acting taken from you?

Acting has given me a lot. It has not taken anything from me rather added more value to my life. It has made me see life from different angles.

What is it about acting that makes you happy?

A whole lot makes me happy. When it comes to being an actor, traveling round and meeting different people makes me happy. It makes me appreciate life and nature because I’m quiet adventurous and outgoing.

 If you weren’t acting what would you have been doing?

If I wasn’t acting, I would he in a court room definitely defending the innocent.

Can you take up romantic roles?

Sure, interpreting  romance roles is part of my career but nudity I will not do.

 

Who would you like to be paired with for romance roles?

Oh sure, that would be John Dumelo or Brad Pit.

Who are they?

John Dumelo is the tall, dark Ghanaian actor while Brad Pit is a Hollywood celebrity.

Are you married?

Well for now no ring on my finger.

Relieve your childhood experience?

I used to have very strict dad whom I thought hated me and wonderful supportive mom who always stand by me. And then iron protective brothers. Kai, I barely go out. In fact, I wasn’t going out. It was from school back home. I had no friend. My family chose my friends for me because I always get into trouble! If I talk about my childhood, trust me your whole pages will be filled. But one thing about my childhood I will never forget was when I won  trophy for a debate competition on disabled people given an opportunity in the country. That was in Edo state and my dad looked at me for the first time and managed a smile on his face.

How was your first love?

There was nothing interesting about it because I was hiding.

How about your first kiss?

(Giggles) Oh my god this is interesting. Wow, hmm it was quiet crazy because all my friends were clapping. It was a game called Devil’s Mail Bag at a birthday. I will spare you the detail.

Any hope of settling down soon or are you too busy for that?

Of course I will settle down o! God said go into the world and multiply. So, definitely a guy must put the ring and we will make fine, intelligent kids.

Your ideal guy?

He has to be God-fearing and must like me a bit. He has to be very intellectual and optimistic.

Guys that put you off?

A guy that has inferiority complex or somebody that nags is a turn off for me.

Habit you are trying to stop?

One habit of mine that I’m struggling to drop is my control over my weakness.

What is your weakness?

My heart is my weakness.
