How do you manage to combine 3 different profession?
The truth is I am never in a place that I do not derive Joy. I started off as an actor and a presenter. Went back to do a bit of clinical work now I shuttle between the field as a medical sales representative and as an actor. So I basically love all that I do. These professions deal with humans basically and I must say I enjoy navigating across all. And it’s been wonderful. The truth is I can't be caught idling away at any time.

Acting still tops for me because it’s what enjoy doing most. It brings out the real and best in me.
How did your acting career began?
I started off as a child from the drama group in church. Anywhere there is going to be a play let I always ended up with the major roles or character and I did perfectly well.
From 1-10, can you rate your success so far?
Success is relative. I would ask success in what field really? All I can say is am making steady progress and that's important for me. I have not arrived but I will surely get there someday.

Which project will you describe as most challenging?
Most challenging
was my experience recently on the set of a soap opera. I was to be on set
the following morning and by midnight I haven't seen my script. By the time it
came I was already asleep. Woke up and then met one deadly traffic to the
location. Spent the next 3hrs before I got there was already exhausted and by
the time I was given the hard copy of that script it took me a lot of time to
grasp my lines. The truth is I wasn't fulfilled with my performance because it
took me time to come around to play my part. That day like they say in our
local palace “my village pipo won". But I learnt lots of lessons. We don't
win every day! That was the first time I performed below expectation and will
be the last God willing.
Which of the big stars have you worked with and what was the feelings like?

Have you done anything worth remembering? I have been involved in volunteering and in charity at different levels and fora. For me there is great achievement in helping others.
If the average human lifespan is 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I would love to travel- Touch lives
How do you relax when you are not working?
When I want to
relax I go to the spa. I take my beauty regimen seriously. Then I could do
movies. I love travelling a lot too. Maybe a weekend getaway. Most times I self-isolate
read, write and pray.
What do you know about your culture and traditions?
I am quite rooted when it comes to my Igbo customs and traditions. I am not a novice and I respect the institution too. I am proud of my roots. And I speak Igbo fluently.

Which celebrity do you wish to work with in the nearest future?
I am fascinated about Genevieve Nnaji. Working with her will be a dream come true. And there are so many other interesting actors too. I am open to work with any talented person.
My advice is make sure you are coming into this because you are passionate about this path. The money may not start coming in immediately but with hard work, dedication, discipline and you being real to yourself you will pull through.
Thank you.
