Ebube Nwagbo has proven to
be one of the most talented
actresses in Nollywood.
She is fair and beautiful and
ever since her entry into the
industry she has introduced afresh wave of youthful
innocence, professionalism and quality acting that instantly made her one of the female actress that Nollywood producers trip for.
Her big break came about nine years ago in 2003 when she featured in Arrested by Love, alongside top-flight actors like Pete Edochie and Jim Iyke. And since then she has virtually been on a roller coaster.
In a recent interview, the Mass Communication and Public Administration graduate of Federal Polytechnic Oko, opens
up on some of the
controversies that have trailed her since she became an actress and other isuues.
Sometimes, I wish I wasn’t
a celebrity. Most of the
times, you are monitored
by members of the public.
Many people are quick to
judge you and they believe
everything they hear or
read about you. They
believe actresses are not
nice people. You live your
life for the public. You
have no privacy and your
life becomes public
business. It is not fun all
the time. I guess that is the
price you pay for being in
the limelight. There is
always a price tag.
Sometimes when I hear and
read things about me, I
feel like going crazy. But I
have learnt to always put
on a smile and take them
with a pinch of salt. It is
not easy for people to
appreciate you and admire
what you do.
Take for instance, the story of how I went to church to pray and fast because of a man. I was born into a very strict Christian home, those who know me can attest to this.
So I was brought up to go
to church and do the things
of God. I went to church on
a Sunday, like every other
person, and offered to do
something for God. But
some people blew it up into
a silly story. It is a thing of
the past now and it has not
stopped me from helping
or giving to the church or
to the needy. That is the
way I was brought up. I
enjoy doing it and I will
never stop. I thank God for
all the people who have
stood by me and believed
in me, despite all the bad
press I have endured.
When asked,about her
relationship with Kingsley of KC Presh;she said I have no
regrets for not marrying
Kingsley.
We are both happy people living our lives separately and we are still very good friends.
Even relationships that are
not in the public eye break
up, let alone what we both
had. It is the nature of our
jobs.
On marriage, I won’t tell
you who I am dating at
present. As a young lady,
marriage should be on my
agenda. But it is not top
priority right now. I shall
get married when I am
ready for it.
