Find excerpts from the interview below... Can you give us tips on how to be a successful woman? It actually starts with character, personality and what beliefs. Everything wrong today actually started from the content of a character. Are you immoral or are you straight forward enough to actually say something and carry through with it. Is the content of your character strong enough? I believe that for you to be great in anything, you have to be someone anyone can trust.you believe in. It stems from your moral. Continue... Can you define what success means to you? I think success is when God is happy with you. When the closest people around you are happy with you and when your soul is at peace with you. Looking back, what has been your greatest achievement? I have so many great achievements and I am very grateful to God. I can talk about great achievements today because God has empowered me to build my character. At no point did I see all these coming. I never said, ‘let me start being a good girl so that in the future, they will call me to speak, not only on Nollywood but also in mentorship capacity outside Nollywood’. I never said ‘okay, let me be a good girl so that Time magazine will make me a Time 100 woman’; I never thought about all these things. But by God`s grace, I am here today. He taught me to follow a particular life pattern when I was young. And I am grateful that pattern has brought me this far. My greatest achievement is that I got to know God on time; it was a great privilege. Do you ever cry? Yes, I am an actress and I cry all the time. Could you share with us your fears and something that has made you cry lately?
