In this encounter with Showtime celebrity Anita
opens up on her music and movie career viv-a-vis
other issues:
What have you been up to?
Work work work... Movies and music but I'm still
recording
How many movies have you done so far?
The one that just came out is Akpabio, the Calabar
Boy. Then, there's Hips Don't Lie, Festival of Village
Girls, Wannabe Girls, Who runs the Village, Twins
Blood, and lots of others. I can't really count.
What is your style of music?
I do Hip-hop, I do slow songs, blues, I do every kind
of music
Which songs have you released this year?
I've done Long Time and Go Gaga
Have you featured any artiste in your songs?
In 'Nyem Something' I featured Flavour. The video
came out two years ago
You and Afrocandy were recently seen together,
are you guys doing a movie?
Yes, we are. We've not done the job yet. She just did
an audition and I was invited over to help in the
casting. We did an audition at Excellence Hotel so I
went there to help her cast and I'm part of the
movie too
Is it a porn movie?
God forbid. It's an African movie. Afrocandy does
other movies too. The one she's going to do soon is
an epic movie like a village kind of movie. Then the
other one is another kind of movie, we call it
Glamour.
Glamour is the one you have many rich people but
the epic is the village one. It's not a porn movie,
don't mind what people are saying. I assure you it is
not porn. Anita cannot do porn. You know why I can't
do porn? Because the money will finish but the
movie won't go.
It's not something I would like to do. Everybody in
life has what he or she wants to do. I don't care what
anybody does. Some people say you're friends with
Afrocandy and all that, So What?
Do you believe Nigerians are hypocritical about
sex?
Oh yes they are, some of them do worse things
behind closed doors. So don't judge me. I do what I
want to do but I can't do porn. Anita is crazy, Anita is
this, Anita is that, but I can't do porn. There are
some kinds of things I can't do. If I'm doing business
with Afrocandy, it's movie business not porn and it's
my business. Nobody has the right to tell me I
shouldn't do it because she's this, she's that. That's
their business.
Can you do sex in a movie?
No, I can't
Not even kissing?
That's a normal thing. There's a way we do kissing in
the movie industry, we don't really do the real
kissing but there's a way we do it. It's acting.
There was a movie I saw you,where Nkem Owoh
was touching your boobs, what movie was that?
That movie was The Gamblers. In the script, they
said he was supposed to touch my breasts; we have
to make it real so I gave him my breast to touch and
that thing blew people's minds. That was the whole
idea, he touched it for real.
Have you done any other stuff like that?
I do lots of stuffs like that. It doesn't matter; it's the
kind of job I do, so it depends. It depends on what
the script says, sometimes you just have to pretend
to be there. Its pretense, Acting is all about
pretense.
Which actor do you have chemistry working with?
I have chemistry working with everybody but there
are some people you work better with, lots of them.
If I start mentioning the names, you won't leave
here
What do you consider the sexiest part of your
body?
Everywhere is sexy because everybody has what trips
him or her. Some like the boobs, some like the back,
some like my legs, I've seen somebody that loves my
palm. My fingers are very sexy
You say you love tattoos, how many tattoos do
you have?
I used to love tattoos. But I don't do tattoos anymore
and I'm trying to remove them. I'm not a tattoo
freak anymore; I've grown out of that. In fact the
tattoos on my body are mistakes. I advise people not
to do tattoos. Tattoos are addictive. If you do one
you want to do another, at the end of the day you'll
start regretting them. I don't love my tattoos
anymore. I wish I can clean them out.
Where is the most hidden place you've done a
tattoo?
No hidden place, the most hidden one is the one on
my waist and on my boobs
What do you find attractive in a man?
I love men that are simple. I don't like men that are
too loud, I love it simple
When did you get into music?
I started music professionally four years back but
I've not released an album yet. I've not really been
serious with my music because the movies took over
but I've released two videos, Time No Dey and Nyem
something
Are you currently in a relationship?
I'm single and not searching
Have you ever done a movie outside Nigeria?
Yes, I have, in South Africa. I did the movie last year
but it's not out yet
How do you handle your male admirers?
They're not easy to handle but I handle them well
enough. In this kind of job, you have to be strong
and bold because if you're not, they'll just mess you
up. So, I handle them perfectly. I try not to be
insulting in as much as some of them are very
unbearable. Those that are unbearable, you just try
and be subtle and manage them with a good smile.
What of your critics?
I love my critics because if they don't criticise me, I
won't get better
Do you take to their advice?
I do listen but some of them don't make sense.
Some of them are beef, maybe it's somebody that
doesn't like you, you didn't do anything to the person
but the person doesn't just like you. They did it to
Jesus Christ.
He didn't do anything to them but some people
hated him, so it happens.
Sometimes when you read some things you know
that it's just beef. You might not know the person but
the person is beefing you. I don't care about what
they say. What I care about is I take from the ones
that are good, I try to amend what is not right but
the ones that I know that I'm doing right, I don't
bother
What is the craziest thing a fan has ever done
when he saw you?
Hitting my bum. Someone has seen me in Shoprite
before, hit my bum and ran away. There was nothing
I could do. There was a movie I did Open and Close. I
was a nymphomaniac in that movie, I had sex with
everybody around me because it was the story. The
guy said that thing you did in Open and Close, can
you just do it to me? He started whining in Shoprite,
mimicking everything I did in the movie, the way I
was doing. I just turned to leave and the next thing
he did was to tap my ass. I wanted to pursue him but
I wore heels so I couldn't pursue him.
If it were before, I would have chased him all the
way. Another day someone called me and started
moaning 'Anita you're killing me, Anita whine for
me', I said hello, he said 'Oh please, it's me please
you don't understand'. It was one of my pictures he
saw. He uses my pictures to work on himself and he
told me. Mostly he uses private numbers to call me
so I wouldn't be able to call back. That 's why I
sometimes don't pick private numbers.
What is the craziest thing you have done to a
fan ?
There was this crazy guy that got my number from
somewhere. This guy sends me message everyday of
my life, everyday. Telling me how he loves me and
how he wants to marry me, till date. At a point I had
to call him and invited him over. I mean this guy has
been sending me messages for more than two years
straight, everyday.
My sisters, everybody in my house knows about it.
One day I decided to invite him over but when I
came out to receive him, he was nowhere to be
found. He later called that he could not face me.
What is the worst scandal of your life?
There was a time I was in South Africa, they wrote
something about me that an Alhaji and I were
getting married in America. It wasn't true, I was in
South Africa and they said I was in America. Then I
was working in South Africa. They said that I went to
his office and his wife saw me in the office and
embarrassed me. They said me and the wife got into
a fight, that people had to come to separate us. I had
a relationship and I was very heartbroken. I've had
lots of them like that. Some people actually believed
that story but there was a mix up. That story
shattered me at the time.
Why did you refuse a marriage proposal from
your boyfriend
A man cannot just come out and tell me to stop what
I'm doing because he wants to marry me. I'm not
desperate for marriage. Marriage will come when it
will come. My man will come when it's the right time
for him to appear. When my husband comes, he
won't tell me to stop what I'm doing. My husband
would be my fan and love what I'm doing, my
husband would encourage me.
Your boyfriend was telling you to leave acting for
him?
Yes, and become a complete housewife. I'm an
Anambra girl, we don't do like that. We're
hardworking women. That's the kind of blood I'm
born with; I can't just leave what I'm doing. Marriage
is not a do or die affair
What about dating Senators, Governors and
Politicians, is it true or false?
I have friends all over. It doesn't necessarily mean
you're dating the person but you know how the world
is, if they see you with someone or you're friends
with someone, they conclude you're dating the
person.

This land is for my son mufu.
No family or stranger must trespass here.
