How long have you been acting?


I started acting 2012/ 13.

Who are those big stars you have acted alongside with?

I have acted with so many of them, let me mention few. Yul Edochi, Joyce Kalu, late Muna Ibekwe, Daniel Lloyd, Angela Okorie, to mention a few.

We saw your Name among those to be honored this year 2018 Edition of the Nollywood Honour Awards holding in Asaba Delta State. What can you say?

For me I was so excited because this is just the beginning, when I got the call that my name is among those to be honoured, I was happy because s many people don't know how important it is for people to appreciate you, it is a way of telling you that we are seeing your contributions in the movie industry. I really want to appreciate the organizers of Nollywood Honour Awards because I see so much qualities in it and the organizers are also those organising Miss Nollywood Beauty Pageant.

Mention three Names among to be honoured on the 18th award programme?

Angela Okorie, Chizzy Alichi, zuby Michael and so many others.

What’s your take on lesbianism that’s believed to be rampant in the industry?

I believe that everyone has his or her choice on their sex life and the position they want to stand. I don’t judge people based on their choice, once you are okay with whatever you have made, you have my blessings!
Sex means a lot of things to a lot of people.

What does sex mean to you?
I’m an adult, I will answer you accurately. Sex is something I do when I want to relieve myself from work stress. We don’t have to hide the truth, the issue of sex in this part of the world is discussed in a low tone. I think, we should talk about it openly so that the rate of rape, abuse and all sorts of sexual assault can reduce.

Are you single, searching or hooked?
For now, I am single but not searching. I don’t want people to start bothering my phone unnecessarily over this.
What are you busy with at the moment?

I am presently shooting in Asaba with Oge Okoye, Browny and a lots of actors working and the Award winning Director Onyeka Ikechi (Onyii Dadee) is Directing.

Have you encountered producers asking you for sex before giving you a role?

Yes, in fact, on several occasions I have had that kind of indecent proposal but I have always told them one thing which is, if they don’t see me good enough to be in front of their camera without sex then that job is not for me!

What are those qualities that you believe stand you out?
I am beautifully made by my creator. As you can see, I am appealing to the eyes… (Laughs)
Can you kiss for real on set?

Well, since we are in the make-believe industry, a good actor shouldn’t be stereotyped, whatever areas or role I have been put in to perform, God on my side, I put all energy into it to deliver perfectly. So, the issue of kissing is not an exception but it will only depend on the person I am working with.
Who is the actor you have a crush on?

Hmmmm, Michael, well, I am not going to lie; Paul Sambo.
