Obiageli Edozie, better known as Oby, is an actress that has tried to remain relevant in the movie industry. In this interview, the actress, whose new film, Save Our Soul, seems to have given her a new lease of life, talks about her job and life The movie, Save Our Soul. Until her film, Save Our Soul, came out, Oby Edozie was out of the limelight though she was \u201cdoing movies here and there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Save Our Soul, which is being shown on the big screen in Nigeria and in some countries abroad, made a big buzz in the entertainment circuit last year. When it was eventually premiered, many buffs were stunned by the quality and story line.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe movie is different from the everyday Nollywood movie. This is an advocacy movie on cancer. It is educative,\u201d she told Life and Beat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m screening my films in different countries. Because of the new movie, I\u2019m being invited to different countries to show the movie. I have done UK; I have done Nigeria. I\u2019m doing the Netherland on Saturday (today). I still have to do France, Switzerland and the US. I have been to so many countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf all the cities I have visited, I love New York City the most.\u201d<\/p>\n

My cropped hair<\/p>\n

I had to crop my hair because of the movie. I was a cancer patient in the movie, and to depict the role very well, I had to shave my hair. But I didn\u2019t really wear the cropped look outside the movie. I wore wigs and hair extensions until my hair grew back.<\/p>\n

I will act for life<\/p>\n

I love my profession so much. Thank God it is a profession that you don\u2019t retire from. Even when I\u2019m old, there will always be a role for me. I intend to act for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n

I love good dresses<\/p>\n

I try to dress well at all times. Without sounding immodest, I buy expensive clothes. Mon Ami is my designer and you know he doesn\u2019t come cheap.<\/p>\n

Why I moved to Lekki<\/p>\n

Ha! What a question! I had to move up in life. Did you expect I was going to remain in a particular place for the rest of my life? No way! Lekki is not even where it ends. By His grace, if he blesses me more, I will still move up again.<\/p>\n

My mum\u2026 my life<\/p>\n

I love my mother so much. She has been my backbone. Her prayers, love and care have kept me and my siblings going all this while. She is a staunch member of the Lord\u2019s Chosen Church. She is always praying for me. She has done so much for me that I had to buy a car for her to show my appreciation for all she has done. She doesn\u2019t mind that I am an actress. My father didn\u2019t even mind before he died.<\/p>\n

Awards<\/p>\n

God has been good. I have received so many awards since I joined the industry, but the one dearest to my heart was the one given to me by the king of my village in Aguleri, Anambra State. I cherish it so much.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a car freak<\/p>\n

I have a (Nissan) Murano but that is \u2018old school.\u2019 It is not as if I can\u2019t afford another car if I so desire, but I have responsibilities. I\u2019m not always in the country, so there is really no need for a new car when the one I have is not giving me any problem.<\/p>\n

Marriage? Hmmmm…<\/p>\n

You are asking me when I will get married? Well, come tomorrow. Oh, you think I\u2019m not serious? Well, come next week. I will get married next week.<\/p>\n

I have no regrets in life<\/p>\n

I learn from my past experiences and I move on. I don\u2019t allow anything to get me down otherwise I will not succeed. I try to persevere and be successful. When you become successful, it will wipe away any regret whatsoever. Once you have made a mistake, you should learn from it and move on with your life. You don\u2019t have to wallow in regret. I always try to be better in everything I do.<\/p>\n

My most valuable possession<\/p>\n

Do I really need to announce it to the whole world? Well, I have a house in Banana Island. I also have a house in America and in England. I\u2019m dreaming big. If you dream big and quote big, those things will be yours. I\u2019m quoting these big mansions and claiming them by faith.
