Tell Us About Yourself: Background And Education


I am married with two children. I am from Ogun State – precisely, Ijebu Igbo but I grew up in Abeokuta and also had my primary and secondary school in Abeokuta while my tertiary education was at Olabisi Onabanjo University where I studied Performing Arts.



When did you start acting?


My journey into acting started professionally in 2010 in Tunji Bamisigbin’s Kamsons and Neighbour, a family TV series. Later on I attended ‘Tinsel’ audition in 2011 through which I got on a new production, which was ‘The Johnsons’, in 2012.



Many don’t know you are a pastor’s wife, has there been anything you have done differently because of this?
Well, I am surprised to hear that many don’t know I am a pastor’s wife because I believe they do. For me, being in an industry like Nollywood doesn’t stop me from being who I really am in Christ.


Are there pressures you face in the industry? Can you share some of them and how you have sorted them out?
There’s pressure everywhere in the industry ‘to blow’ and live a luxurious life. A celebrity’s life style is a life of luxury and if you’re not living it, you’re not recognised in the industry. But for me, I try not to accept the pressure and be real with myself.



Has the ‘Jennifer’ role affected your being featured in other movies, because we rarely see you acting in other movies?

No doubt being on The Johnsons set has been very demanding but it doesn’t stop me from featuring in other movies. I am presently working on featuring in more movies.



What are you most grateful for in your career?

I am grateful for me being watched on TV five days in a week all over Africa and ‘The Johnsons’ gave me that opportunity. I’ve had fans comment under my posts on social media from different countries like Ghana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Cameroon e.t.c, because of their love for the show. So I am really grateful for that.




What has been your most embarrassing ‘on set’ time?

My most embarrassing time on set was when I had to ‘kiss’ for the first time. It looked like all the crew members were present on set for unnecessary reasons and that made me more nervous. The scene took longer than expected because the director kept saying he wanted a smooth run. I just couldn’t wait for the scene to be over.
