Talking about challenges in the Nollywood industry, the actress said Piracy is eating into the movie industry fast and completely.
“One of the biggest challenges we have in Nollywood is the issue of piracy. Nowadays, the Internet has taken over completely, compared to when I got into the industry.
“These days, people only watch cable TV, Youtube and other platforms. The number of people who watch terrestrial TV has greatly reduced. In a way, this has also killed the industry because people no longer buy DVDs and the marketers are complaining bitterly.
“We need government to support us so that we can do cinema movies. That way, filmmakers would make money and the audience would also enjoy.”
The actress also said that her relationship with MC Oluomo is an old story because he had dated many actresses after her.
According to Sindodo, Fame has its disadvantages and advantages. She said fame has opened a lot of doors for her, however, “when one goes to parties or run some chores, street urchins would often harass you”.

“My man must be ready-made. I also like my man to be very prayerful, loving and caring. I am a very jealous person; I like my man to myself. I don’t like sharing. I can marry an entertainer because we are in the same industry. Right now, I’m ‘somehow’ in a relationship, she said.”
