How do you feel about the endorsement?

I am happy because there is a big telecommunications company behind it. I feel honoured and elated. Although it’s not the usual way other endorsement deal go because it’s based on percentage, it’s a wonderful experience.

How did you clinch the deal?

I was actually called weeks back but I went to their office at Ilupeju, Lagos, and discussed with them. I love the package and signed the deal.

Why did they choose you?

I really don’t know. I can’t really say but I guess it’s my work and new found status. Most of my senior colleagues have endorsement deals with multinational companies.  I wasn’t really expecting it but it came to me as a surprise. It’s a source of motivation to me now that my work is being appreciated. I still have a big one coming which is a big telecommunications company but can’t say much about it now.

People believe you are long due for an endorsement?

I have learnt my lesson. People don’t like those who expose their bodies in public. Celebrities can do it abroad but its alien to our own culture. I was young and carefree and had nobody to caution me.  It took my husband to enlighten me and made me realise my mistakes. He helped me to realise I am a role model and have influence on my fans. I have realise these things now and it has helped me to have mature and quality fans who now show more interest in my personality and works. I now encourage other people. Ever since then my fortune has changed. I now have quality jobs and offers. I want to model my life after Omotola and Joke Silva whom I see as role models.

Would it be right to say marriage has brought you fortunes?

Yes, you can say that again. It has been a blessing to me. It has brought me a lot of goodies. Now I see a lot of beauty in me by covering my body.  I was living in Omole before marriage but I have relocated to Lekki, Lagos. I now have a lot of mature friends and fans. I wish I was married like 20 years ago.
