are not seen as a commercial product, you are not
marketable. One has to take risks. In taking risks,
its either you are offered a sum, you look at it and
say oh, should I really do this? But, who are you to
even say no? If you’ve got passion, the money won’t
matter at the time, but then as you grow, you make
your talent known and people begin to appreciate
you as a person. And when God graces you with
favour, and you are somewhat okay commercially,
then people will start seeking you out.”
This natural hair spotting, tank top and jeans wearing
celebrity whose most expensive wardrobe purchase
is a pair of shoes (either flats or heels), believes in
using ‘more natural stuff’ on her skin and currently
feels no qualms about her huge celebrity crush on
trendy Pierce Brosnan and dainty Collin Farrel.
Here she narrates her relationship with the different
roles she has played so far; “Every character I have
played has deposited something in me, one thing
or the other. It comes with the terrain, especially if
you are a method actor. Sometimes you go out and
someone calls a name that you have played, not
addressing you, you turn and then you realize, oh!
And there are times when you react like the person
would have reacted, and then you say, no, this is not
me. So, you constantly have to search for you, so as
to get a balance. Some actors say they leave a tiny
space so they can connect back to themselves, but
then, that tiny space can make you lose a scene”.
Continuing, she confesses that an opinion poll
on her friends assessing her person would read
something like this; “That Nse? You just have to love
her to love her. You have to accept her for who she
is. It is either you love her or you don’t love her. It
is too extreme. You cannot be middle grounds with
me as a friend. I don’t give a lot and I really do not
expect a lot, but if we say we are friends, then that is
the way it is going to be”.
A very good cook who got initiated into the art of
kitchen mastery by totally messing up her father’s
palate, Nse recalls “I was 13 the first time I ever
cooked for my father, I made Egusi soup and it was
horrible. The Melon was on one side, the Water
was on one side (laughs). I pounded the yam and
it had lumps in it. Yes, that was the worst meal I
ever made. Cooking is one of the things I am very
passionate about, because I like to feed people. It
is also a way that I relax and let out tension, if I am

In a downrightly witty description of herself, she
avails that “I am very lazy, (laughs) yes I am, I am
somewhat lazy. I don’t like to do anything. I don’t
like to get out of bed. I am boyish-girlish, because
I don’t like to dress up and I am not the make-up
type. I just like to be natural, just chill, just be easy,
basically. I crack a lot of jokes, I am very silly, I can
be emotional and I can be horrible too, but I am fun
to be with.”
