Nollywood Actress Advices Young Women Against Dating Married Men.
While speaking in a recent interview , the actress noted that such ladies should remember that someday, they would be a wife and mother and would not want the same thing to happen to them .
“ Frankly , as a public figure and based on what I stand for , I would not encourage a young lady to chase after married men . Some might say that married men would take good care of them , but it is wrong. It is not something I would encourage the youth to do.
“ Also , I do not think that having numerous boyfriends gives you the privilege of having a perfect guy as it could even cause confusion at some point , ” she said .
The actress , who doubles as a singer , said
that there was really nothing wrong with it if some actors chose to live fake lives , while describing their business as make - believe.
She said , “ Although social media is a platform that is meant to provide opportunities for people , sadly , most people are misusing it . I do not see the big deal in any artiste going on social media to live a particular life because it is called showbiz . You have to ‘ show ’ for the business to grow .
“ You have to brand yourself and make people see that you can promote their products well through the lifestyle you depict . If that is what people mean by fake life then it is fine . As an artiste , we live in a make -believe world which means that 80 per cent of the things you see us do on screen and even on social media are make - believe.
“ It is totally different from my personality . I might be at home and choose to tie a piece of cloth round my waist and drink
garri. But if I would go on social media , I would not want to do that because some of my fans would be disappointed .
“ I am not advising young women to pretend to be who they are not . What I am saying is that as an artiste , we need to ‘ show ’ for the business to grow . I am a very realistic person and I do not see myself as one of those fake ones . ”
