BY\u00a0 OPEOLUWANI AKINTAYO<\/p>\n

Separated from her husband for some years now, Foluke Daramola has every reason to blame the failed marriage on immaturity and her inability to handle the issues of matrimony carefully. She also blamed her woes on bad press, insisting that the media was not fair to her. The actress admits seeing somebody at the moment even though she not considering of going into marriage as soon as possible. Read on.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been busy since I arrived here. What are you actually working on?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m working on a new TV series, ATag Team. It\u2019s already on TV Continental and it\u2019s going to be syndicated to other channels later. I\u2019m also working on my talk show, AFulfilling Desires \u2013 it\u2019s an NGO enhancement talk show, it celebrates people as well. And everything I\u2019m doing now is powered by myself. I got my fingers burnt when I borrowed a huge amount of money to shoot my movie titled AWakati Eda.@ And at the end of the day, I got nothing from my marketer. Today, I\u2019m indebted to a lot of people who invested into the production.<\/p>\n

Are you also starring in the TV series?<\/p>\n

Yes, I\u2019m playing a prominent role in the series.<\/p>\n

It appears you are more of a producer than an actress?<\/p>\n

No doubt, I\u2019ve been producing movies, but I started out with TV seriels and soaps. So, this time around, I have made up my mind to go back into producing TV series. Movie making is full of uncertainties. So, as an artiste, it\u2019s wise to diversify. That\u2019s why I have decided to go into TV serials.<\/p>\n

I made my debut through soap operas and I understand how it works. It doesn\u2019t mean that I wouldn\u2019t be producing movies, I just want to diversify into other areas. Also, my talk show has been my passion , I\u2019ve been working on it for the past five years.<\/p>\n

What kind of orientation did you have, as a child ?<\/p>\n

I come from a Christian family, my mother is a staunch Christian. I lost my father when I was two years old, so I didn\u2019t meet him. I\u2019m extremely an independent and hardworking woman. Over the years, I\u2019ve come to realise that if you are determined, hardworking and truthful, the sky would be your limit. The realisation of this axiom has helped in shaping my life.<\/p>\n

After graduating from Obafami Awolowo University, did you work before veering into acting?<\/p>\n

I started acting since I was a teenager. Along the line, I went to the University and studied International Relations. Then, I did my Masters in International Law and Diplomacy from University of Lagos, I\u2019m still in the classroom. Acting is a part of me and it comes naturally. But I\u2019ve been able to combine it with academics because I love to read. I may end up becoming a lecturer.<\/p>\n

Was it easy to find your feet in the acting profession?<\/p>\n

In my time, that was in the 90s, it was easier to get into acting. But from my mother\u2019s point of view, it wasn\u2019t easy because she was sure that artistes were social miscreants who don\u2019t have to exist. But I was lucky to have good people who gave me the leverage to excel in the industry.<\/p>\n

People like Tunde Bamishigbin and Ralph Nwandike helped me with all that I needed and taught me a lot of things.<\/p>\n

The journey been so far?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had my challenges. And part of the challenge is that I lost my privacy. Then, the fact that sometimes, you just want to keep some part of your life secret but at the end of the day, you find out that you don\u2019t have a secret.<\/p>\n

Again, I\u2019ve had bad press. I\u2019ve got loads of bad press but I just believe that everything in life is about \u2018bitter-sweet\u2019 which one must accept unconditionally.<\/p>\n

So what was the scandal ?<\/p>\n

Definitely, there\u2019s a whole lot of it. There\u2019s one where they said I was broke and ride bike. And I can decide to take a bike in order to beat the chaotic traffic congestion. If I need to get to somewhere urgently, I could take a bike and it doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m broke.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Foluke Daramola<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And if you say that you\u2019re celebrating your celebrities then, we should celebrate more of the moral part of them than the material part.<\/p>\n

You said earlier that some people helped you get into the industry. Does that mean that you didn\u2019t have your own share of sexual harassment from the producers?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t go through such ordeal. I always tell people that it takes two to tango. Or maybe, it\u2019s because I\u2019m a very proud person. I go to locations where I have roles to play. So, if I don\u2019t have business being somewhere, you wouldn\u2019t find me there. And I\u2019m not the desperate type. Whenever actresses allege they are being harassed, I believe it takes them going to such places and moving with such producers. But it\u2019s a different ball game if both like each other and want to date.<\/p>\n

Have you also been approached by lesbians in the industry?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard they exist in the industry, but I\u2019ve never been approached by them. And sorry, I\u2019m not one of them. Besides, I\u2019ve not even finished sleeping with men not to talk of women.<\/p>\n

So how are you fairing as a single mother?<\/p>\n

God has been faithful. I love to see them around and God has shown me much love that I have enough love to show to my kids. Basically why I don\u2019t keep friends is that I\u2019m more matured about things. I can\u2019t go to locations without thinking of them. And I want my kids to emulate me.<\/p>\n

Is there a mistake you\u2019ve made that you wouldn\u2019t want to repeat?<\/p>\n

None. No mistakes. But I\u2019ve had misdeeds that I\u2019d have done another way but not mistakes. Maybe, my marriage, I would have been able to understand the kind of man I was dealing with or perhaps, become more matured about marriage before going into it.<\/p>\n

Are you saying that you were not matured when you got into married?<\/p>\n

Of course yes. I thought I loved him and marriage is more than that. Maybe, I handled it differently.<\/p>\n

You \u2018ve separated from your husband for sometime now, are you thinking of re-marrying?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m in a relationship but marriage is not on my mind at the moment.<\/p>\n

Supposing your new lover proposes to you?<\/p>\n

We both have an understanding that I\u2019m not down with marriage. But if he\u2019s believing so, maybe, we can change our minds in future. But for now, it\u2019s not on my mind.<\/p>\n

How do you cope with your breasts?<\/p>\n

Well, I used to be embarrassed when I was much younger. But later, when people started appreciating it, I felt differently about it- I started carrying it well and over time, it\u2019s more of a plus to me than a minus.<\/p>\n

When did you start noticing changes with your boobs?<\/p>\n

It was during my secondary school days, when I noticed that my friends looked normal and it seemed that I was abnormal.<\/p>\n

But later, I got used to it. When I was in the university, I used to flaunt it and wear low necks but I\u2019m more matured now. Once in a while, I try to be daring but I control it because of my kids.<\/p>\n

What were the things you used to do that you can no longer do?<\/p>\n

I used to go clubbing, go out and spend night out, wore daring clothes. But now I can\u2019t do most of them anymore. Although I do it once in a while although I no longer club except when I go for events.<\/p>\n

Was that how you met your husband?<\/p>\n

No o! I met my ex-husband in church. One thing about me is that despite that I club and do all that, I still have my psyche. But it\u2019s not where you meet someone that matters but who that person is. Because there are club guys and girls who are still responsible. Every marriage and relationship has its peculiarities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
