Is it true you are working on some new movies?
Tell us about them...
Yes, I am working on 2 great movies, Ajike the
tailor
and Goldsmith.
The movies are educative and suspense-filled. These movies will have the
audience glued to their seats. Ajike the tailor is a movie that educates
the public about the aftermath of quick riches while Goldsmith is a murder
mystery movie that is full of suspense.
What

It is not easy being a working-class woman, a mother, a wife,
and an actress on the side. But all I can say is God has been there for me.
Also, my husband and children have been very supportive, they understand the
nature of my job. They share in my passion for acting and want to see me
succeed in it.
My staying power is my love and passion for acting. The
determination to excel on the job through all odds. Acting has been my dream
since when I was in my teens. I am happy I am following my dream.
