When did you first get into acting?
I’ve been acting for a long time. I was born with the talent, but I didn’t pursue it early because I was unsure of myself and didn’t want to lose my office job as a Personal Assistant. However, in 2002, I decided to pursue my dreams and began acting professionally.
What was your first on-set appearance, a soap opera or a film?
It was a sitcom comedy. My younger brother’s friend invited me to an audition after I told him I wanted to pursue acting full-time. I was hired for a 15-episode soap opera called “Laff Patterns.” From then, I moved on to soap operas such as Everyday People, One Love, Face To Face, Spiders, and a slew of others.

Has your husband ever felt threatened by other men as a result of your presence?
No man has ever been able to intimidate my hubby. I’m lucky enough to be married to a wonderful man that adores and respects his wife. He provides me the qualities that make him my husband. No guy can stand H as he performs the fatherly role to the children.
How do you suppose your husband feels when executing sexual roles?
My hubby is not disturbed. Even my hubby believes that Nollywood isn’t doing well enough. “I wish you were lot younger, I would have taught you how to craft better romance moments,” he once said. I’ve never done tongue-to-tongue kissing with an actor, and I’m not implying that my husband does either. However, he claims that I may be more romantic in my appearance and touch when performing.
Are you saying your marriage is preventing you from some roles? No, but I can never have a wet kiss with another man.. I really don’t know how my husband will feel but I will rather drop that job than kiss another man, tongue to tongue. There are some actors you dare not put your mouth into theirs. Not Jaiye Kuti.
How do you see the injection of sex scenes into our films?
Sex is everywhere. And there are stories that would not be well told if there are no sex scenes and Nollywood is trying its best to censor our films.
Why do we always have sex scandals in Nollywood?
It is not peculiar to Nollywood. Every occupation has sex scandal, it is only popular in Nollywood because everybody is interested in us. I am not supporting promiscuity. I have never dated anybody in the industry and I have no godfather. But sex is everywhere. We do films that teaches family values and condemn abnormal sexuality.
What has been your worst location experience?
It was a time when I got to a location and sat throughout the day because nothing was in place and after wasting my day, I had to sleep in my car because there was no provision for where I would sleep. Some had to sleep at the bar. I think they had financial problem because many things went wrong in that location. Since then I take extra money with me when going on locations.
