Quotes

I know people like to see glamour; they like to see glare and all of that, but it is really important that we talk about some of the things that are accepted as a people, and that is really what I am going to do. We do not talk about it enough. It is going to serve as a platform to expose some of the things that some people are going through and probably maybe help them seek the help from organisations and location centers around the country that are aided in assisting in such situations that not many of the victims are aware of. For instance, like the subject of rape, when somebody is raped; where do they go to, who do they talk to? And you know rape is a very sensitive subject? Sometimes it is peculiar to the case because some people could argue that she brought it upon herself, but nobody ever wants to go out there and be raped. So I want to tell a story about that, and how the victims, despite the circumstances in which they became victims, how they can get help and move on. Some people who went through this ordeal have not fully recovered from what they went through; it is just maybe a guide. I don’t have all the answers, but I would like to say maybe this is one of them.

I am probably one of the simplest people you would ever come across. I am not the most glamorous. I am not flashy, no craziness, and I am not controversial; there is no scandal or anything. I try and keep it simple, as simple as possible. I take the day as it comes. I try not to get upset about anything anymore.

I think what will draw people to you is your personality. It doesn’t matter if you speak like Obama or the Queen, if you are horrible, you are horrible, and if you are a nice person, you are a nice person. I don’t think how you talk makes a difference. It is only in Nigeria here that people have an issue with accents. They need to be a bit more open to people because we have a lot of foreigners here, so you need to be open to however people speak. I know that some Nigerians have an issue with people who have accents.

Acting is something that I’ve always wanted to do. I watched the likes of Julia Roberts and Bimbo Akintola over the years and I wanted to be just like them

Stay dedicated and resilient. It may not come when you expect but hard work and doggedness never goes unnoticed

It’s just the kind of person I am, that’s how I was raised. I am not controversial at all. I’m not dramatic and I’m not an attention seeker. You will not catch me in situations of strife. I’m human, and there are times when people get on my nerves, but I hardly ever blow things out of proportion. I’m not going to let the way people behave change me.

In real life, that’s what I would do, I would expose deception. I’m not the kind of person that would stand by and let somebody get taken advantage.

I can’t fight over a man. If I’m in a relationship, and the guy wants to quit, he can. If there’s a fight, then it should be between me and him, and not myself and the other chick.

When I love someone, I am very sincere. I love with all my heart, so that endears the other person to me; so most of my relationships have ended because we both grew tired of each other, or there was an issue with distance and not because there was a third party.

I’m a day dreamer. The kind of guy I would never get tired of is someone who is very romantic. Not excessively so, but someone who really cares, someone who is goofy like me, because I’m a kid at heart, I’m overly goofy. Sometimes, I’m way too playful for my own good. So I’d like someone who has a playful personality. My dream guy is also someone who is faithful, who sees only me in the room, no matter how many other beautiful ladies are around. I think that’s every girl’s dream.

I’m sure I’ll meet someone who understands, whether the devil likes it or not. Anyone who really claims to love me should understand.

Nigeria is a tough country, but by the grace of God we survive here. It is not for the faint hearted, you really have to be dogged in Nigeria.

I’m driven by my goals, and I am very passionate. I don’t see any reason why I should be mediocre or ordinary when I can excel. I am the kind of person who wants something and goes all the way to get it. I always get what I want. I believe that you should live life to the fullest, and take every opportunity that life presents you with.
