H F mad or angry, I just walk into a kitchen, be sure that I would cook up something. In the middle of the night when I cannot sleep, I go into the kitchen and cook up something. If I am hanging out with friends and we are having a few drinks and we get bored, the stories are getting interesting, I would just get up straight to the kitchen and rustle up something”. A devout Catholic who gets Rosaries as gifts from some of her ardent Catholic fans, also avers that; “life is not full of roses, but when you achieve what it is that you plan to achieve, if you die along the line, then you lived we ll,” Nse is right now engrossed with two movies she has seen over and over again, The Gladiator and August Rush ‘because of their beautiful story lines’.

In her own words; “I met him 21 years ago when we were teenagers, we grew up together as friends and worked in the same bank which is the Central Bank, so we were young friends who dated and now we are married. You see, there is no excuse not to marry your friend (laughs) because there are a lot of bible teachings on marriage as a whole and what is most piercing is that you are ordered to love, and then in friendship there is love. In friendship there can be hurt, but love never goes, in friendship there is still love that will never doubt you. Your friend will never think that you did not call me, so I am pissed at you, your friend is going to make an excuse for you, your friend is going to constantly see the good even in your bad, so that is what it is like to get married to your friend”. In conclusion, she expertly sieved out wanton materialism from true romance when she happily declared “I always say that for us, every day is valentine’s day, for us every day is Christmas, I think that is very romantic. It is not about him buying me stuff because in truth, money can buy you everything, but it is not going to buy you love, it is not going to buy you happiness, it is not going to buy you eternal joy. Yes, money is important in running your day to day activities, but I think just been himself, as loving and supportive as he has always been to me is more romantic than I can ever ask for”. As we said our goodbyes, we felt elated and at same time more knowledgable about this talented actor. That and her ‘easy like Sunday morning’ attitude effectively etched her in our minds’ eyes as a quintessential diva of no mean proportion. 24 HF Magazine Edition 1, Volume 1.
