What would you say distinguishes you from your other colleagues?

A Yoruba adage says “Igberaga ni igbera sanle” (pride goes before a fall). I do not blow my own trumpet; I allow people do that for me.

Can you tell us the real situation of things in your marriage?

On that issue, I am sorry I have no comments.

Don’t you think it’s time you let people know what is happening in your marriage?

I said no comments.

So that means people can say whatever they like?

No comments.

No comments now or later?

I reserve my comment.

Any regrets being an actress?

No, not at all

Has love been fair to you?

I see you are still going back to that marriage issue?

No, no, I am just asking a general question?

I thank God, God is love.
