Is there a reason for this?<br \/>\nNo. As an actress, you have to be willing to work whenever you are  called upon. I believe if I am called upon, I will work. Why not? But  then, I like to be careful of the movies I do. But I don\u2019t refuse  scripts based on that. I like to know who I am working with. I like to  know the people I am dealing with, more or less.<br \/>\nIf I don\u2019t do home movies, that does not mean I am not working. It  means I do many other things as well. I do TV. I just finished a TV  show. I do radio programmes as well. I also do stage. Nobody can box me  into a corner.<br \/>\nIs it not curious that you don\u2019t get many scripts any longer? You used to be a hot cake.<br \/>\nThere is no controversy where that is concerned. Remember that in  those days, we didn\u2019t have that many artistes. That was why it looked as  if the scripts were going round a select few.<br \/>\nBut now, there are so many people who are doing the same thing. Now you get a chance to rest in-between.<br \/>\nI just finished a job recently. Most people don\u2019t get to see all the  movies out there. The stories are just as good; the scripts are just as  good, but they don\u2019t get as much publicity as some other movies.<br \/>\nIs that not because the coming of younger ones has made you irrelevant?<br \/>\nDefinitely not. Once you are an actor, you are an actor forever. You get better with age.<br \/>\nNaturally, you can\u2019t do those small girls roles any more. But you will continue getting jobs until you die.<br \/>\nSo, how relevant are you now in the entertainment industry?<br \/>\nI have a dance\/drama troupes. I work with them. We do performances in  different places. That keeps me busy, but it doesn\u2019t stop me from  working. I also do stage productions like I told you.<br \/>\nThe jobs do come in, like I told you. I kind of like it that I am not  boxed into a corner where they will only call me for home movie  productions. If your face is seen so much, you will lose the uniqueness  that you have. I try not to let my face be overused. It is not good.<br \/>\nWhat do you do with the dance\/drama troupe?<br \/>\nWe do stage plays. We dance and we do recitals. We perform mostly for  secondary schools, and we help them with their literature curricular by  acting the plays.<br \/>\nWe have been doing it for almost three years. It is just that I remained in the background.<br \/>\nI still act all the time, but you cannot see me doing the same thing  in 20 movies. I can do 20 different roles and I am still the same person  that I am.<br \/>\nThat means you are versatile\u2026<br \/>\nExactly.<br \/>\nBut you play wicked roles more\u2026<br \/>\nI am surprised you are saying this. I have acted the sad woman; the troubled woman and the woman with small, small boyfriends.<br \/>\nThe big woman with small boyfriends shot you up in \u2018Glamour Girls\u2019\u2026<br \/>\nYes. That is why most people think that is all I can do. You see,  people don\u2019t even get to notice me when I am doing the other kinds of  roles.<br \/>\nGlamour Girls was my first movie. Yes, it shot me into limelight. But if I had allowed it, it would have put me in a corner.<br \/>\nProducers started calling you for such roles after \u2018Glamour Girls\u2019?<br \/>\nYes. But most times, I refused them.<br \/>\nYou dance?<br \/>\nYes.<br \/>\nWith your build?<br \/>\nWhy not? God gave me the build. I have tried everything to lose  weight, but I have not been able to. I have been told I have big bones.  As long as I am comfortable, I don\u2019t mind. I have always been like this  right from time I was a baby. I do dance a lot.<br \/>\nHow did home movies come about in the first place?<br \/>\nI would say the profession was chosen for me. I was acting like a  child in primary school. I was given roles and I was doing them well,  and everybody was happy with me.<br \/>\nI didn\u2019t take it serious, anyway. All I wanted to do was to write. That was how I ended up in journalism.<br \/>\nBut out of the blues, I was given a script and I was told to come for  audition. They had done three auditions and they still hadn\u2019t found who  to play \u2018Doris\u2019 in Glamour Girls. The producer was not satisfied.<br \/>\nJennifer Okereke (God rest her soul) and Liz Benson came to my office  and said they would want me to audition for a role. I was excited.  These were people I see on TV. I felt it was a challenge that I could  rise up to.<br \/>\nSo I went with them. I was tickled seeing all the stars \u2013Bob Manuel, Zack Orji and the rest.<br \/>\nBut I still held my own. I wasn\u2019t nervous. I wasn\u2019t a small girl. I  felt it was a challenge; if I didn\u2019t get the role, it was not a big  deal. It is not like now that girls are so desperate.<br \/>\nThey gave me the script and I took my time to read it. When I was  ready, I played the part and they said it was perfect, everybody started  clapping for me. That was how we started rehearsals.<br \/>\nWhen we finished, I forgot about it. I was back to my office until  the movie now came out. It was a bomb! It caused so much uproar. I  became a star! My face was all over the posters. I couldn\u2019t do any other  thing else. I realise that if I worked hard on this, it could be my  profession. I started getting scripts from left, right and centre.<br \/>\nBut I had to pause and decide what I wanted. It took me a while  before I decided to do it full-time. Initially, it was a part-time  thing. It kind of helped me because I was not desperate. I have never  been the kind of person who does movies back to back. There were many  other people out there. What mattered then was the script and not the  face. But these days, it is the face that matters.<br \/>\nAre you saying the industry has changed, not only positively but also negatively\u2026<br \/>\nI wouldn\u2019t say negatively. You know how it is with a child. When a  child is born, he must go through every stage, he must crawl, then walk  and then run, and finally become a mature person.<br \/>\nI don\u2019t think our industry has gotten to that stage of maturity yet.  We are still making mistakes. That is how we learn. Remember we are not  copying anybody, we are doing our thing ourselves.<br \/>\nHow did you parents take it when you decided to take up acting as a profession?<br \/>\nTo be honest, my father didn\u2019t like it. He didn\u2019t understand what all  the hullabaloo was about. It didn\u2019t look like a serious profession to  him. He was okay with my acting when I was in primary school. But it  took him time to accept it when I decided to take it up as a profession.<br \/>\nIt was my uncle living in the US who came back to Nigeria and made  him (my father) change his mind. My uncle told my father that the movie  has shot me up, I was known all over US and Australia. My father  grumbled, but my uncle made him change his mind; and then he gave me his  blessings.<br \/>\nSince then, the sky has just been a starting point.<br \/>\nHow, exactly, has it been?<br \/>\nIt has been perfect. I will not tell you how much I got for my first  movie. It was quite good, considering what I hear some people get for  their first movie. Mine was pretty good.<br \/>\nI wasn\u2019t a desperate small girl you could throw around. A lot of  things passed me by. I had a little support from the people who were  already there, unlike what is happening now. The older ones nowadays are  not giving the younger ones a chance; they are not supporting them. And  then, these younger ones are not willing to listen to them.<br \/>\nYou get to hear of sexual abuse. I have never had that kind of  experience from anybody. I think it is the way you carry yourself that  would determine whether you would get harassed. If you show desperation,  they will come to you.<br \/>\nThen again, why can\u2019t you say no? If it is for you, nobody can take  it. If you have the talent, it will show. This talent is God\u2019s gift, you  cannot hide it under a table. It is like a light and it must shine  though.<br \/>\nBut the young girls are desperate now and they are willing to do anything. It wasn\u2019t like that during our time.<br \/>\nOur own time was better and because we have been growing, you see a  lot of things evolving. By the time we get to the height, we will sort  the wheat from the chaff.<br \/>\nIn terms of talent, are actors born or made?<br \/>\nThat is pretty difficult to say. I used to think an actor\u2019s talent is  in-born. But he has to hone his skill. You are born with the talent,  but you need to work on it. But then, if you are not born with the  talent, if you cannot act, you cannot act no matter all the schools you  go to.<br \/>\nMy husband believes strongly that actors should be educated. If you want to act, go and learn how to do the proper thing.<br \/>\nYou don\u2019t have any regrets being an actress?<br \/>\nOh no! Except for the fact that I wished I was paid better. No matter  what anybody tells you, forget it. You cannot be paid what you are  worth in this country. It is taking a lot of time for people to  understand that this is a profession. They think, \u2018Oh, she is just  acting\u2019. Others say, \u2018They are playing\u2019.<br \/>\nBut I have decided that this would be my career, I can do other things by the side.<br \/>\nAnd then, since it is my profession, it should take care of my bills.  That means I should be able to buy my car, pay my rent and take care of  my family.<br \/>\nBut that is not what is happening now. We all have what we are doing  by the side. It is not like in the US where an actress is getting paid  millions of dollars for one movie, and she can afford to do just three  in a year.<br \/>\nThe average Nigerian actress would tell you that she has done 20  movies in a month and she is feeling proud. They are overusing you! What  is that? Let us call a spade a spade. How can you do 50 movies in one  year and you feel proud of it?<br \/>\nI should do one movie in three months. Give me one month to rehearse,  the second month to do the job and the third month to come back to life  and rest. So by the fourth or fifth month, you can now give me another  job.<br \/>\nLook at them, especially the young ones, saying, \u2018They are paying me  N500, 000 for a movie;\u2019 and you are doing 50! Come on! Let us face  reality.<br \/>\nWell, I am not there o. I don\u2019t know their bargaining power.<br \/>\nDoesn\u2019t your job affect your real nature?<br \/>\nI am a very natural person.<br \/>\nBut I cannot go to the market and behave anyhow. I cannot get angry  with a bus driver. I cannot lose my temper anyhow. I have to watch the  way I behave. I must hold my mouth; if I get to my house, I can scream.<br \/>\nBut then, I remember when I was running around for my wedding and I  went to the market with my friend. People were staring at me. I kept  moving. Then, they started waving; automatically the prices started  going up. I couldn\u2019t buy anything. We had to leave.<br \/>\nThat is what we face as actresses. Unfortunately, when my in-laws  come and they want me to take them to the market, I cannot do that  because prices will go up. I cannot go to the market with them. But I  can go down on my knees and cook for them. I am a woman.<br \/>\nYou are married to an actor.<br \/>\nYes.<br \/>\nWhy?<br \/>\nYou don\u2019t plan these things. I don\u2019t think anybody says, \u2018Okay, I  must marry a lawyer or a doctor\u2019. I didn\u2019t plan it, it just happened. I  fell in love, and it was pretty strong because I fell in love with my  friend. We were close and we were good friends. We could talk. I  couldn\u2019t have gone into a relationship where I couldn\u2019t express myself, I  would have run mad.<br \/>\nMy husband and I are very close. We always have things to talk about.  Even when we don\u2019t see, we still communicate. We gist a lot and that is  the beauty of it all. It is not that we can\u2019t be quiet together, but  that is another beautiful thing about our relationship. There is always  that peace and comfort that surrounds our union.<br \/>\nA number of marriages where artistes intermarry have crashed. How have you managed yours?<br \/>\nI don\u2019t talk about my marriage based on that. My marriage is just  like any other. There is nothing extraordinary about it. I have seen  people who have lived together for 50 years and they are still going  strong. So, what is the big deal? Is it because we are actors? That  should even make it stronger.<br \/>\nYou must work at you marriage despite your profession. You must give  it what you are supposed to give it. As a woman, if you are supposed to  give it 60 per cent, then bring it and let the husband bring his 40 per  cent.<br \/>\nDo you feel comfortable seeing him do love scenes in the movies?<br \/>\nWhy not? You should ask him if he feels comfortable seeing me do love scenes.<br \/>\nThere is really nothing to it. In fact, he finished doing a movie the  other day and he was telling me the actress he was acting with found it  uncomfortable to kiss him in a love scene. He had to describe how he  kissed the girl.<br \/>\nWhen we eventually saw the movie when it came out, and it got to that  scene, I was like, \u2018See this silly girl, she didn\u2019t even do this thing  well\u2019.<br \/>\nCome on! the director is there, the cameraman is there, everybody is  there. There is no way the thing will get more intimate than necessary.  It is just acting.<br \/>\nYou people should be the ones to worry. There is no TV screen to show  you what your husbands are doing outside the home. We see what our  husbands do on the TV. A man could be an actor and he is the best  husband while another man can be a lawyer and he is a dog. It doesn\u2019t  have anything to do with your profession.<br \/>\nIf the role requires you to kiss, you should do it well.<br \/>\nSo you can do love scenes well?<br \/>\nAbsolutely. I am comfortable doing it. It is the person acting with  me that usually feels uncomfortable. I know where to draw the line. It  is not just because I am a married woman, but I have a background. I was  trained properly.<br \/>\nHow do you manage the home front, since your jobs require you and your husband staying out of the home for days and weeks?<br \/>\nWe have been managing. God has been helping us. It has been  difficult, but that makes it sweeter. At least if you go out for a week  or two, somebody would have missed you greatly.<br \/>\nLets\u2019 come back to \u2018Glamour Girls,\u2019 how much of you was in that movie?<br \/>\nI am a total opposite of what you saw in Glamour Girls. I am a home  girl. Oh yes, I like to enjoy myself. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I still do my  karaoke, go to the night clubs and have fun. But I am still a home girl<br \/>\nI don\u2019t know how to woo a man. I don\u2019t know how to have small boyfriends.<br \/>\nYou have been associated with a lot of scandals.<br \/>\nYes, and it hurts. The press was not fair to me. As a journalist, I  didn\u2019t expect all the bad press I got. I was given all kinds of  sensational stories.<br \/>\nThe other day, I just saw an old magazine with the headline, \u2018I am  the most glamorous of all the glamour girls\u2019. I never said that. I even  had to read the entire story and I didn\u2019t find where I said that.<br \/>\nTen years later, it still hurts. The press was not fair to me. But I got used to it and I have developed a thick skin.<br \/>\nThe scandals even continued after you got married\u2026<br \/>\nIt became worse. For almost a year and half, I stopped buying and  reading soft sell magazines so that I would stop reading such. I heard  that I was keeping one million and one boyfriends. It looked as if there  was a kind of vendetta against me. I stopped granting interviews and I  switched off totally.<br \/>\nHow did your husband take it?<br \/>\nInterestingly, the scandals made us get closer. You can\u2019t marry who  you don\u2019t know. He knew who he married, he knew everything about me. He  believed in me so strongly because he knew me.<br \/>\nBut we learnt that you snatched him from another actress?<br \/>\nWhen he comes in, you can ask him if I snatched him from anybody.  Haba! That lady was using me to sell herself and it worked for her. I  will not mention her name, but she succeeded in whatever she was doing.  Now she is a star.<br \/>\nYes there was a small controversy about the whole thing, but I was  silent on the issue. I realised what she was doing and I allowed her to  go ahead. The public got tired of reading, and everything became normal  again.<br \/>\nHave you forgiven her for trying to drag your reputation in the mud?<br \/>\nShe never hurt me. There is nothing to forgive. It was like a fly,  and I hit it off. She didn\u2019t mar my reputation. She was selling me and  she was selling herself as well. But the only thing was that I didn\u2019t  need the publicity, I was already up there. She needed the publicity  more. Her action got her roles. She is acting. This was somebody that  was on the periphery, she was playing waka pass. All of a sudden, she  found out that she could use me to sell herself. She went ahead to say,  \u2018Gloria Anozie stole my husband\u2019.<br \/>\nNobody bothered to investigate the real thing. I was saying. \u2018no  comment\u2019 until one journalist came to the house and insisted that I  talk. I told him if the actress believed she had a problem with me, she  should come and meet me.<br \/>\nShe couldn\u2019t come and meet me and tell me to my face that I stole her  husband. I have seen her so many times and she is looking for a way to  make friends with me. That is the truth.<br \/>\nBut did you take Nobert Young from her?<br \/>\nNaturally, in a relationship, if a guy dumps a girl for another  person, the girl should be upset. But the way she went about her own was  too much. If I were the one, I would hide my head in shame. How can a  guy dump me for another woman? Man, leave me? I will hide my head in  shame! Nobody will hear of it because it would look as if the other lady  was better than me.<br \/>\nShe didn\u2019t realise she was saying I was better than her. This girl  went to school o, but all she cared about was publicity. She needed to  sell herself and it worked for her.<br \/>\nAway from that, you wear a nose ring. Is it part of the glamour look?<br \/>\nIt is just like an earring. I take it off sometimes. I saw it on  Janet Jackson and I liked it. Since I feel we have the same structure of  nose, I decided to wear it and I like the look.<br \/>\nI am just me. I like my long nails, painted as nicely as they are now. I like my wild hair. This is just me.<br \/>\nAfter this, what is next?<br \/>\nI am doing so many things with children. I am giving back to the society in a way.<br \/>\nWe have a show that we planned for sometime this month. It is just  like the Idols show that we had recently. I am calling it Gowon Estate  Idols. It is a talent hunt competition. I am hoping to be able to  showcase some young people\u2019s talents to the world.<\/p>\n<h4>FILMOGRAPHY<\/h4>\n<p>Underworld, Passionate Appeal, Glamour Girls, Sinners, Wanted At all  cost, Babysitters, Big Time Chics, Flash Back, The Kids Are Angry, The  Return, The Soul That Sinneth, Women In Power and Unchained<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are not seen in movies these days, unlike when you started out.
