She added that she faced a lot of obstacles, but remained standfast in her decision, adding that she came in contact with a director who said she wouldn’t go far without ‘doing what others are doing’.
She said;
“I started out as a pretty young lady in Nollywood. I shot my first movie when I was 20. Were there temptations? Yes, there were temptations. But for me, maybe it was because of the way I was raised, the kind of mindset I had, and the kind of schools I attended. I had cases when I was coming up in the industry, where a lot of directors and producers made passes at me. I was very young and also very pretty. I stood my ground. I remember there was this particular director who invited me to his office after an audition and started making advances at me. I told him if he thought I must get down with him before giving me the role, he might as well keep his script. People then saw me as an arrogant person, but I wasn’t. This is my 31 years in Nollywood, I have never had anything to do with a director or producer.”
