TM: Let’s meet you.

LOTA: My name is Lota Chukwu. I grew up in Benin, but I am from Enugu state, and I just recently moved down to Lagos. I am an actress, and I studied Agricultural Economics and Extension at the University of Benin. I am the last child, and I have 3 siblings.

TM: Switching from Agricultural Economics to Acting, how did your parents take it?

LOTA: I don’t think they would have allowed any of my other siblings, plus I am the last born and you know the last born benefits. Also, I didn’t tell them immediately, I waited to do something first and then, I took my first pay home and said, “See what they gave me for doing this” and my father said “Is this what you want to do with your life?” and I said “Yes”. And then he turned to my mother and said “Do you have anything to say?” and she says, “Is she not your daughter?”

TM: Don’t you think there is a lot of competition in the movie industry?

LOTA: If there was no competition, it would be no fun. You cannot survive without competition, because then, there would be no challenge.
