Speaking with the Punch’s Sunday Scoop, the actress admitted that a lot of people think she had an attitude problem.

Here are a few excerpts:

On people thinking she is a snob

“I am aware that people think I am a snob, but I am actually a shy person. My job demands that I should abandon who I am. It used to be even worse for me because I went to a single-sex school; so, relating to guys was difficult for me. However, I am adjusting now because of acting.”

When you meet me newly, the first impression you get is that I am cold. But I am only trying to protect myself from people I don’t know.”


On how shy she is

“If I am in a room and I know everyone there, I will be very comfortable and playful. But if I don’t know anyone, I will be cold. I am not trying to blow my trumpet; I am just saying that I need to know you to be comfortable with you.”

On maintaining her morals

“The way my mother raised us, especially as her first daughter, there was no way I would have lived a wayward life. My late mother would have been a soldier if she didn’t have a job. In Igboland, they pay so much attention to the first daughter because she must be an example to the younger ones.”

On being allergic to smoke

“Also, I am allergic to smoke and many other things. I act stupidly whenever I am high, which is not good for someone like me in public because I like to conduct myself well. I had friends who questioned why I did not smoke or drink but if you know who you are, you wouldn’t succumb to peer pressure. However, I am not saying the fact that I don’t smoke or drink makes me an extraordinary being.”
