  • It is what every other person would do. You please yourself first before thinking about the other person.
  • You cannot compare it to the boyfriend stuff where you can pack your things and go if you are provoked In marriage, you are going nowhere. It is for better, for worse.

As far as you’re given attention by the man, the age is insignificant. There is no particular man that is ideal. Choose the things you like about the man and you work from there. Before you know it, things will start working good from there.

  • In marriage, you will continue to have problems until you understand yourselves well. And it takes a lot of time for both parties to understand themselves. So, if you are looking for a perfect man, you will die old ,wretched and wrinkled.
  • If you judge your life based on what is happening on social media, there is a huge problem. It is called social media for a reason. 90 per cent of the things seen on social media are not real. We all have different paths to follow in life.

  • I studied Theater Art’s because I wanted to be an actor. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else with my life.I knew that acting was the main passion, my main passion. I like singing, like so many other things but my main passion is acting. And I thought that it was important, if you want to do something, for you to go and study it
  • I am one of those people living by their passion. If I didn’t, I don’t think I would be doing well as a person. So, for me I don’t look at it as competitive or anything. I just look at it as the only thing I can possibly do and I do my best.
  • If you don’t take charge of your life, then you won’t have a life. You have to take charge, you get to a point where you get to as an adult, that every action you take has consequences and that if you want something, you need to plan and work towards it.
  • I do a lot of exercise. I did not do liposuction.
  • For me, memorable moments is about the works that I have been able to do. They are my creative Memorable moments.
  • there is a lot of pressure that is put upon them to get married.

And because of this pressure, they make so many mistakes. I thought it was important that we tell the society that, yes, you want everyone to get married but you don’t have to put so much pressure on the women

  • It happens to women. It can be because of your riches, it can be because of anything else but the man behaved the way he did not because she was a celebrity but because he had issues with himself that he needed to deal with. A man that beats a woman has issues; a man that can kill obviously has issues. So, it doesn’t matter if she was a celebrity or not, his instinct would have still come out and would have shown. He would have beaten any woman that he married because that is the sort of person that he is.
  • It’s not about money or looks, it’s about your heart and your head. So, for me, I have to be in the person’s heart and the person’s head.
  • AIl I need to say is that, I’m free from the bondage of captivity. I can no longer subject myself to incessant beating like a punching bag.
  • Because when you watch the movie after, you’d want to cry. They never turn out right. I don’t know why people think because it’s low budget, they shouldn’t pay attention to the small details.
  • If you are talking about the industry, we have all paid our dues. So, when I see people working, I am always willing to assist in any way I can. First, I try to put them at ease, I don’t think being young has anything to do with it.
  • I acted as a young girl in Out of Bounds, who was seeking attention and when she couldn’t get it, she became naughty. It happens in every home, if you have a child who doesn’t have the attention of the parents, it is either she becomes too quiet or becomes naught.
  • Think about it, you anchor a show for four hours and you’re paid more than you’re paid in a movie just for one day’s work. 24 hours and you’re smiling to the bank!
  • I must say it was an honour to have played that role. What the director and producer did was to pick actors they felt look like Dr. Adadevoh and they invited all of us for an audition. They also had an open audition for anybody to walk in. I went for the audition and luckily I got it."
  • I don’t mind people talking about whether someone is smoking or not, but they must have evidence. You must have evidence to say certain things about people. If you ask me if I drink, I barely drink now. Smoking and some other habits people engage in are not good for the health.
  • Things are changing in the world at large. If you look around, you would find a lot of women are having babies and taking care of themselves. It’s everywhere. There are women who are not actors but are single mothers, and for a lot of people I think it’s about their biological clock. Instead of waiting for manna from heaven and you know there is no manna, and you feel the need to have children, then do it.
  • I’ve been in the entertainment industry for over 20 years, so there is nobody I want to date in the industry, except such persons have not come into the industry yet. I know everybody and there is nobody I’m interested in dating. That is the truth.
  • I understand and see the plight of the girl child. I have always worked with organisations that have dealt with sexual assaults and other related issues.
  • I don’t like this feminist idea because I think there’s a focus on this wing of feminism that is extreme. It’s toxic. I don’t want to be part of that. I want us to realise that you care about humans if you say you are a humanist.
  • I think we are growing, change is constant, we have changed in terms of our technical know-how, we are taking more time, we are putting more effort into our movies, we are trying to make them perfect for the audience, that’s what has changed, we have evolved.
