However, her dad who was not in agreement with that decision decided not to pay her school fees.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer made this known in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, according to the <strong><em>Dailypost<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cI didn\u2019t come out to look for movies, I just stumbled into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA friend of mine, Princess Babiana\u2026 My dad was very strict growing up. We hardly go out, so we had our playground in the house. He doesn\u2019t like visitors. So, we only go out when he is out of town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe prefers we are friends with people he knows their parents so he knows that when you go there, you are comfortable. So, my dad and her dad were friends. And she came to visit and she was going for [movie] rehearsals. So, I was like, okay because it\u2019s her and my dad was out of town, I could go. So I followed her,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Eliogu said that it was difficult to convince her dad that she had decided to pursue an acting career.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cHe was difficult. He didn\u2019t even want to hear it. I was already doing a diploma in UniJos. My dad always wanted me to be a lawyer. He felt that I was going to be a very good lawyer. It caused a whole lot of problems and my mum was at the receiving end. He kept saying, \u2018is this what you really want to do? If anything goes wrong, you will not forgive yourself.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018I\u2019m sure, this is what I really want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took a long time, very long time. I stopped being his girl. And you know what, I stopped going to school. He was like I\u2019m not going to pay your school fees,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer Eliogu \u00a0 Nollywood actress, Jennifer Eliogu, has revealed that she lost the favour of her dad because she decided to become an actor against his wishes.
