How long have you been in showbiz?

I have been acting since I was six years old. I started with NTA kiddies programme such as Tales by Moonlight and Kiddies Vision 101. Then I got into Nollywood in 1996 and my first movie was with Chico Ejiro.

How was your first time on set acting?

Well, I was nervous because I was a kid when I did my first job. I was so excited and nervous at the same time but then I did it and realised that was my talent.

But seeing them then, I got nervous but then I had the confidence and I was able to deliver.

I was motivated by the television especially Hollywood and Bollywood actors particularly the Indian ladies. I love the way they fling their hair and talk and I act it out in front of the mirror by tying a scarf on my hair. So when I told my parents I wanted to start acting in Kiddies programme, they were not surprised.

Do you still model?

Yes, but for now I don’t do runway any more but I do photographical modelling like adverts.

What is style to you?

To me style is you, it is your creation. God created us and we created style. Let me say style is the creation of a human being.

What is your own kind of style?

Well, my style is just simple. It is me, I do everything my way. I don’t look at other people to dress because I wear whatever suits me, whatever I feel like wearing and in whatever colours I want.

I may not wear it exactly the way that person wore it,but I won’t wear a particular style because it’s in vogue.

Failure. I don’t want to fail. I want to keep succeeding by the grace of God.

I love wearing heels. I started wearing heels when I came into runway modelling. We modelled wearing high heeled shoes and it has become part of me. I realised that with high-heel shoes, you have good steps and it gives you that elegant look.

I am an easy going person

What do you think is that misconception people have about you?

Not being able to communicate with God one day.



Who are your fashion role models?

It could be busy or just normal. But the day I have to perform at an event, it could be pretty busy and tight.

Could you describe yourself on and off stage?

I am a different person on and off stage. When I am off stage, people see me as a very calm and shy looking girl but when I am performing on stage, I am weird.



Best perfume

DKNY, because I love the fragrance



What kind of make-up do you like?

I could wear heavy or light make-up. It all depends on where I am going to.



What type of shoes do you love wearing?

I love heels. I mean high heels despite the fact that I am tall.



Describe yourself in three words

Weird, sexy and crazy.



Your philosophy of life

Do to me what you would want me to do unto you. It is about equality.
