What do you find fascinating about the Nollywood’s progress today?
Some corporate bodies are now showing interest in supporting Nollywood.
What really inspires you when on set doing your thing?
My inspiration is drawn from things I have seen, studied, experienced, read and watched around me. Once I am on set; relative issues just come to mind and I get inspired.
When was your most trying moments as a star actress?
I can’t recall.
Do you think men play a fair game in love, given your experience as a mother and female star?
Most men do and very few men don’t.
Of the films you produced, which would you rate the best and most accepted?
‘Silence’ is my best but ‘Arinzo’ was the most accepted.
Share with us one funny experience you have had in love.
I keep my love life private.
Aside acting, what other businesses do you do?
Frepris World; my beauty spa and boutique.
How would assess Pinkies Foundation; is it meeting your target of elevating the values of Nigerian ladies?
Pinkies Foundation has been a blessing to most of its members because they understand the importance and joy of giving. We have over the years supported each other financially and morally. Almost all our members are married and have been blessed with kids because they have been a blessing to many kids living with disability. Definitely, I will say I have met that target! And there is no stopping! Giving is a blessing.
Who among your kids is showing interest in acting, and are you ready to give your blessings to it?
My two kids are actors but my daughter, Priscilla Ojo has been showing more interest in it and has bagged two awards to her credit as an actress; she just finished secondary school this year and will be going to the university to study theatre arts. They both have my blessings.
What parts of your beautiful body do you cherish most, that you feel makes you unique?
My legs! I love them
