Ameh Daily Interviews Gifted Singer; THEODORA
A-Zay: Briefly tell me about yourself
Theodora: Theodora is a lot of tinz....if I were to describe myself I wud say am warm, nice and easy going young lady. I like to observe what eva is going on around me.... Most times such scenarios/situations get reflected in my music.
I am also very plain and direct... So I wud say am an open book. What u see... Is what u get.
A-Zay: Who did you grow up listening to and how did that shape your chosen career?
Theodora: I was blessed to have very musical parents... We (My siblings & I) would always know wen my mum was home because she would always drive into the house singing in her car, as she came down from her car, she would keep singing right up until she walked into the house and gave us all hugs..... While not a professional singer, my mum always singing around d house, we literally grew up listening to her singing.... My dad on the other hand.... I believe had d highest collection of gramophone records I have ever seen till date... He was a genuine music lover.
My brother & I will come home from primary school immediately, change to our house clothes and if PHCN was kind to us on that day.... We would sing and dance to oldies like Donna Summers, Diana Ross, Bonnie M, Jackson 5 etc... We won't even ask what's for lunch :)
Movies like Grease, Sound of Music amongst others were early influences as well....
As I grew older I started listening to my own music... Whitney Houston, Cece Winans, TLC, Boyz II Men, Britney Spears, Salt n Pepa... and many more. My playlist was and still is an eclectic mix of music.
Music is something I grew up in and was taught to appreciate but to be honest as a teenager it was NOT through singing music found expression it was through dance.... So my background was in dance/choreography/dance drama/pantomime.... It is only just recently (5years ago) that I gravitated to singing.
A-Zay: What is your inspiration?
Theodora: What inspires me is the need to help other people through music.... I don't want my focus to be on the glamorous or fame seeking side of music...
I want to make music that makes d listener a better person after listening.
So that inspires me ALL d time. I always ask myself questions like - How can I make d listener happy? What is d average Joe/Jane on the other side of this CD taking away wit him/her after listening to this song?
It always important to me that other people feel better about themselves.... So that serves as inspiration enough for me to keep writing songs, keep singing, keep reaching out to people.
A-Zay: I see, so what are your hobbies?
Theodora: My hobbies will be reading fiction, watching movies and sleeping... Nah sleep sure pass...lol
A-Zay: First song ever sung?
Theodora: Hahaha! First time I ever sang in public was at my dad's 40th Birthday party... It was.... lol... It's the thought/gesture that counts.
A-Zay: Do you perform in public? Describe those occasions? Concerts, radio, TV?
Theodora: Yes I have performed within and outside Nigeria. Sometimes in the singing capacity and most times in the dance capacity.
There are too many to describe frankly but two stand out as the most memorable to me.
The first one was at Olabisi Onabanjo University... 2006. Ago - Iwoye Town Hall is filled to capacity (it seats 3000).
My dance partner & I were performing to Jaci Valesquez's - Eschshame/Listen to Me, it was a salsa upbeat track and it just tore up the stage. That was the first time I got a standing ovation in my career... It was a very humbling experience.
The second most memorable was in 2011 at the LTS Center, Selangor, Malaysia, I did a cover of Carrie Underwood's - Jesus Take the Wheel.
I just felt blessed to be able to use that platform to sing a gospel song and to mention that name "Jesus" to a group of people who otherwise would have had cause to get acquainted with that name.
A-Zay: If you weren't singing, what would you be doing?
Theodora: As far as careers go if am not singing or into music in any form. Then IT - Information Technology is my second love... Yep my secret is out! Am a techno geek! lol... but yea I would major in the creative side of IT - Webdesign, Animation, Multimedia and Graphic Design... Still in d creative/arty field
A-Zay: Ya! I know You work.. So how do you balance your Music with your job ?
Theodora: Not easy at all! But where there is a will there is a way... Plus I know all the juggling makes me a more disciplined and organised person... If som1 has to work 9 to 5pm Mon to Fri. That leaves weekends for studio sessions, photo shoots etc... So it teaches me how to better manage my time so no aspect of my work and music suffers.
A-Zay: After Your newest Single "Ko Si Isoro" was released, what kinda Feedbacks have you received ?
Theodora: Mostly positive... People are so kind and welcoming. Am even more sure when the video is released people would be even more impressed! So watch dis space closely!
A-Zay: Nice having you 'Theodora'
Theodora: Thanks for having me :)
A-Zay: And For Those of You that haff Carry last, That haven't listed to Theodora's - "Ko Si Isoro" .. *Stop boiling Stone*

A-Zay: How Did You Feel When Don Jazzy Tweeted Back Then, Calling You "One Of the Sickest Rapper Alive" ?

A-Zay: Who would you want to do a tour/concert with?
A-Q: I would love to go on tour with Eminem.. He is the only rapper that has hard sold out concerts in the weirdest countries ever, places u'd never think a rapper could go, as since he is hiphop to the core u'd be sure that the fans came to hear real rap, however if I were to go with a nigerian artiste it would be Vector we have a couple songs together and he's such a clown lol, he will be good company on the road and very professional on stage
A-Zay: Lol.. How old were you when you had your first crush?

A-Zay: Any advice for Aspiring Artistes Out there ?
A-Q: For aspiring out artiste out there, the only advice I can give to them was something I was once told by a very wise man, he told me ' stay in that Boat long enough and you would see where the land is'

(MP3) Theodora ~ KO SI ISORO
Since then she has continued to grow from strength to strength. A very energetic and enterprising young lady she favours Gospel/Soul/R & B music genres but is a lover of all things music and was always heavily involved in singing - dancing competitions/activities all throughout her high school and college years. She then set up her dance group (The King's Daughters), music group (TIEM) performing with them all across major cities in Nigeria.
Theodora has shared the stage with other notable artistes which include Mike Aremu, Inifnty, Gbenga Adenuga, Modele, Rooftop MCs amongst others.
She is currently working on her debut album – Stay with Me having just completed her program in Sound and Music Design at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Malaysia.
Her latest single 'Ko si Isoro' loosely translated in English means 'No more Troubles' is making a great buzz across the African continent, establishing Theodora as a artiste who isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Theodora often recites the quote "Music is the universal language of Mankind" and that is what I strive to achieve with my music, to make the average Jane or Joe feel much better after listening to any one of my songs, one note at a time :)

Boko Haram: Leader Abu Qaqa is alive, We will target wives of govt officials
In a short video in Hausa language, Shekau claimed that 10 wives of Boko Haram members are currently being detained by Nigerian officials, an action he described as "demeaning," and threatened a round of reprisals on wives of government officials.
As if not to be left out of the string of violence, the Boko Haram leader also threatened violence by the group over a recent anti-Islam video which denigrates Prophet Mohammed. Two weeks ago, Nigeria troops claimed they had killed some senior commanders of Boko Haram near Kano and arrested others. One of those reportedly killed was Qaqa.
Previously, last February, the JTF also claimed it had arrested Qaqa, but the Boko Haram leadership denied the announcement, insisting that the man under arrest was not Qaqa but Abu Darda, who was identified as the head of the group's enlightenment committee.
"Qaqa" continued to speak for the group until last month when he was said to have been killed or arrested. Nothing has been heard from him since then, and his status remains unclear. - PointBlankNews

wooed by the opposite sex. Men are supposed
to woo me. I'm a woman and I'm very soft. They shouldn't be scared of asking me out. I want a decent man, and not any kind of man," she said.
Karen expressed disappointment that men are
not bracing up the courage to woo her, despite
the fact that she is not as difficult as they think.
She says she is still "single and ready to
mingle". She also said her dream man must not only be God-fearing and comfortable but also down to earth and not necessarily a bachelor.

Bestwood Chukwuemeka, Nollyood Actor Sentenced To 3 Months In Jail For Gayism
The actor said he had sex with another man under the influence of alcohol. A 28-year old actor, Bestwood Chukwuemeka, was sentenced to three-month imprisonment by a Karu Senior Magistrates' Court, Abuja, for having sexual intercourse with another man through the anus.
The convict, who resides at Gidan Mangoro, had pleaded guilty to having engaged in homosexual acts.
"I am guilty of the charge against me. I was under the influence of alcohol and I want the court to temper justice with mercy'', he said.
The police prosecutor, Mohammed Umar, had told the court that the convict committed the offence in August when the complainant was sleeping in his bed.
Homosexual acts, the prosecutor said, was contrary to Section 284 of the Penal Code.
The prosecutor said since Mr. Chukwuemeka had pleaded guilty to the crime he initially denied, the court should try him summarily.
The Senior Magistrate, Nafisatu Buba, sentenced him to three-month imprisonment without an option of fine.
"This would serve as warning to other youths who hide under the influence of alcohol to commit crimes,'' she said.
When he was first arraigned in early September, Mr. Chukwuemeka pleaded not guilty, saying,
"I came back drunk from the night club and thought I was sleeping on the same bed with my girl-friend and I started romancing her."
At that hearing, Mrs Buba, had ruled that alcohol should not be seen as an excuse for committing the offence, but then granted the accused bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum, with one of the sureties being a civil servant on Grade Level 09.
However, when the case was heard Monday, the actor suddenly pleaded guilty, and Mrs Buba summarily tried him, sentencing him to three-month imprisonment. Homosexuality and lesbianism are seriously frowned at in Nigeria.
In November, the Nigerian Senate passed a strict law banning same-sex marriage and public display of affection by gays in Nigeria. The bill – Same Sex Marriage (prohibition) bill 2011 – prescribes 14-year jail terms for convicted gays in Nigeria.
"Persons who entered into a same sex marriage contract or civil union commits an offence and are each liable on conviction to a term of 14 years imprisonment," the new law said.
It added, "Any person, who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organization, or directly or indirectly makes public show of same- sex amorous relationships in Nigeria commits an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a term of 10-year imprisonment."

Bishops 'Severely Outraged ' With Image Of Neymar As Jesus Christ
Placar , which has become one of the most successful sports publications in Brazil since its inception in 1970, was using the picture as a metaphor to highlight the criticism the star had been coming under for supposedly diving too often.
In a letter, signed by CNBB president Cardinal Raymundo Damasceno Assis and general secretary Dom Leonardo Ulrich Steiner and posted on the organization's website, the publicationcame under fire for "showing disdain towards people's feelings."
"The Brazilian National Bishops Confederation states that it feels severely outraged with the [photo] montage that is is the cover of a sports magazine, where the image of Jesus Christ is seen with the face of a football player," read the statement. "We acknowledge freedom of speech as a fundamental principle of our state and [see it as necessary for] democratic co-existence, however, there are known limits for such.
"To ridiculize faith and show disdain towards peoples' religious feelings by using the disrespectful use of the image of Jesus suggests manipulation and use of editorial resources as a meansfor commercial ends. The magazine has shown itself as being insensitive to the recent context of deplorable violence caused by the inadequate use of religious images and, with that, has made a bad contribution towards a consolidation of respectful co-existence between different beliefs.
"This [photo] montage uses the image of Jesus in an explicit manner, even if the magazine director denied this evident fact. This is a clear lack of respect that offends the most sacred imagefor Christians and updates, in a hazardous manner, the well-known resource of gaining attention by provocation."
An online petition has now been launched against Placar 's use ofthe image of Neymar as Jesus Christ, which has gained over 7,000 signatures since its manifestation.

Van Persie: "Man Utd Are Perfect For Me"
The former Arsenal man announced that he would not be extending his contract with the Gunners in July, and following a battle for his signature with fierce rivals Manchester City, the Old Trafford club finally secured his signature in August.
And despite having the option to join the Premier League champions, Van Persie says he chose United for a number of reasons, and that they are the perfect club for him.
"I' ve been here only for a few weeks now but I feel very welcome. Ihave to thank everyone, it's a great club, everyone has been very helpful," he told The Times of India .
"United breathes football — in every aspect. It's a great club. That's why I made my decision to come here quite quickly.
"[The decision to join United] was based on a lot of things — Man Utd players, the stadium and the manager. I think everyone knowsme by now. From that perspective I am quite principled. It's alwaysdifficult to find a perfect match but I think this club is just perfect for me."
Van Persie also revealed his decision to take the No.20 shirt at Old Trafford, saying he chose it because he is hoping to lead the side to a record 20th league title.
"Well, I had the option of 20 or 21 and the reason I took this shirt isbecause we're all here to be champions this year and that would mean a 20th league title for United," he added.
"I would certainly like to be part of that, they have [had an era of dominance] already and I'd like to help them do it again."
The Dutch striker is hoping to move on from past disappointments including spells on the sidelines through injury, and even his missed penalty against Southampton earlier this season - something he still struggles to explain.
"A career won't be always a bed of roses. You have disappointment," he added.
"Look at my missed penalty kick against Southampton recently. That is what you call a disappointment. Taking a penalty kick in that way when you are 2-1 behind — that's just bad and I couldn't explain it, not even to myself.
"But it's about how you react. What you do next? Do you stay disappointed? Or are you going to hunt, and get over it? In the game I put it behind me, thankfully and went on to score a hat-trick.

"We Have A Lot Of Desperate Girls In The Industry, Some Think They Have To Sleep Around To Get Roles" - Ifeoma Anyiam
We don't get to see you in movies anymore.
Where have been?
Well, I've been around, although I traveled out of the country for a while. I travelled to the UK, and lived there for awhile before returning to the country. Upon my return, I got married to my husband and had my baby.
So, why haven't you been starring in movies since then?
When I returned to the country, I decided to veer into something else.
Like what?
I went into buying and selling . I'd also organise events for my clients. That's what I'm doing presently.
Does that mean you've dumped acting?
I haven't dumped acting. I just wanted to have time for my child. So, I've been away from acting for three years now. I want to see him grow to about four to five years before I can stage a comeback to acting.
Did your instigated your decision to quit acting?
My husband didn't ask me to quit acting. I had to take a break from acting on my own to nurture my family.
Your husband is relatively unknown to many of your fans?
We met in 2004. We courted for some years and later got married.
Is he also in the movie industry?
No, he's not. He's a business man.
So, he asked you to leave the country at that time?
Yes. I had my baby over there too. At that time, he was in the UK. So, I had to travel to meet him over there and we both returned to Nigeria together. But he is not in the country at the moment.
How then are you coping with his absence?
It's not as if he stays there permanently, most times, he is in the country. In fact, he spends more time with me and our baby. He simply shuttles between Nigeria and abroad.
How do you feel to be married?
Being married is beautiful. I'd say that when you are marriedto someone who loves and respects you, things become easier. It's not that we don't have our ups and downs but because of the understanding we have, things become easier to handle.
You took a break from acting at a time when your fans expected more from you. Don't you miss acting?
Yes, I did. Most times, I missed acting but because I traveled out of the country, there was nothing I could do. And when I returned, I already had a baby. So, I had to think like a mother- my baby comes first. But I'm considering of returning to the screen next year when my baby will clock four or five years.
How was your childhood years?
I was born Ifeoma Anyiam but my surname is Nwaedo. My growing up was fun. I'm from a family of five children and I happened to be the second child. I was born in the North and had my early childhood there. We came back to Lagos because of the riot, so, I had to finish my secondary school here. Afterwards, I had my Diploma in TV & Radio Communications at Lagos State University and my degree in Theater Arts also in LASU.
And your parents?
We describe my father as a very typical British man becausehe schooled in the UK and doesn't believe in flogging a child.All he does whenever we erred,is to sit us down and talk to us as adults. But my mother is more of an African woman because she doesn't spare the rod. So, I had a normal growing up- we were not so rich but we were not poor either. I was comfortable as a child because I never lacked anything.
What was growing up like in the North?
It was really good until that fateful day when the riot broke out. Actually, we had moved out our property in 1986 but I was really young at that time. But I was told that we'd already moved our things to the East because of the riot and later came back when he riot subsided.
But in 1992, the riot happened again. We were in the house when we started hearing gun shots and running up and down. Then, people started packing their things in a hurry and my mother had gone for the normal women meeting. She was suppose to come back at about 6pm but she didn't return until about 11pm. Then, my father was angry and she said she trekked all the way from their meeting place.
She told us there were fighting and burning of houses and before we knew what was hapening, the following day, we almost got burnt because our house was already sprayed with petrol but God in His infinite mercy sent soldiers who came to rescue us. So, the hoodlums fled, and we were able to escape. Since then, I haven't gone back to the North for anything but I did my NYSC in Kano.
Did you work else where before going into acting?
I worked briefly with AIT in the North but I had to leave because I wasn't comfortable staying in the North but I was acting at the same time. They wanted me to stay but I couldn't because it was scary staying there.
What inspired you into studying Theater Arts in school?
I don't really know, but I remember that while I was in secondary school, I wanted to be a known figure in the society. So, I did lots of sports and people knew me very well. But when I was through with my secondary school, my dream of studying Theater Arts shifted. I wanted to study Marketing at the university but one thing led to the other andI wasn't admitted to study Marketing. So, I was given Theater Arts. So while studying it, the zeal for acting resurfaced.
How did you break into the acting world?
While doing my Diploma, I had this friend, Steve (Yaw of Wazobia FM) who usually attend the AGN meetings. So whenever he came back to the class, he usually tell me about many notable actresses and actors. So, I was excited and wanted to meet them too. And back then, I used to love Ann Njemanze because people said we look alike.
She was like my role model at that time. So I asked Yaw if I could see Ann if I went with him, and he said yes. So, I followed him and saw many movie stars. I was so excited about it and one thing led to the other, I met someone (I can't remember his name) who asked me if I could act. I said yes and that was how I started.
Which was your first movie?
My first movie was "Hopes". But after that movie, I went back to school because I needed to concentrate on my studies. But when I started officially, my first movie was Havoc where I played my first major role.
So how does it feel to be a known face?
It is really good but sometimes, as an actress, you lose your privacy and people expect you to be perfect all the time, which isn't normal because we are humans.
People expect you to smile all the time and whenever they wave at you, you must wave back, whenever they stop you on the road, you must stop to say hi and they don't care where you are going to at that time. So, it's not easy. Being an actress has its own advantage because it opens doors wherever I go.
You said you have passion for acting, but earlier, you sounded as if acting was the last thing on your mind?
It's not as if I don't miss acting. I do and that's why I'm going back to it.
And your husband supports it?
Why not? He didn't stop me from acting. I took a break because I wanted to have time for my baby.
So, how does it feel being a mother?
It's so sweet, especially when he calls me Mummy. So sweet looking at him talk and misbehave sometimes. So, I don't regret being a mother. Being a wife is also tasking because sometimes you have to wake up- I don't know what to say. It's sweet and tasking too.
Before I could go to parties at anytime but as a wife, I can't do all that anymore. Even before I go anywhere, I have to take permission from him and he could even tell me not to go. So, I have restriction. But it's sweet caring for my husband and my baby.
Do you miss partying?
Although, I'm a social person not to the extreme. I'm also very reserved. I don't miss partying because I still party with my husband- we got to the club once in a while.
I was surprised seeing you dressed in a gown suit.
Why aren't you looking colourful and expensive like other actresses do whenever they go out?
Yes, that's because I'm going for a formal event. So, if I'm going for a party, I'm sure I'm not going to dress like this.
What kinds of clothes do you like?
Maybe I'll just wear a pair of jeans and a nice top with good accessories for a party.
How do you react to advances from men now?
I just tell them that I'm married.
But men don't easily let go of beautiful women…?
That's true because some of them can be stubborn. But onceyou tell them you're married, they'll leave you alone.
Remember your husband isn't always around…?
Like I told you, my husband isn't always out of the country. He comes around regularly
Does that mean he has his business here?
Yes, he has his business here.
We know your husband isn't always around…?
Well, I can't say but he's always around, he's around.
Which do you prefer between Nollywood and business?
I'm very good at business but comparing it with Nollywood, I'll say acting is really nice. There are a lot of things you can get from being an actress. But I enjoy doing business any time any day.
What kind of business are you really talking about here?
I'm into cosmetics, clothes, shoes, handbags and everything.
While trying to come up as an actress, what were the challenges you faced?
It wasn't easy to break through because I had to do everything to impress teh producers. Trying to climb, sometimes, some of the producers might want to take advantage of you by not paying you the exact amount they earlier agreed to pay before you accepted the job. But because you need the job and you're trying to climb, you'll do it and won't eventually get paid. Sometimes, some producers would know how much you worth but won't pay you that amount because they know you're still new.
What was the lowest amount you earned?
I would say N20,000
Now that you're coming back, how much do you think producers will offer you?
I wouldn't say because I've been off the scene for some time now.
What can you say about sexual harrassment in the industry?
I don't know about the sexual harassment because sometimes ladies can be funny too. We have a lot of desperate girls in the industry who are trying to climb and some of them think they have to offer their bodies to get roles.
But it's always sad because they get cheated along the line because they end up sleeping with the wrong persons who wouldn't give them the roles and end up blaming it on the producers.
These things happen in every sector. I think women have to watch it. If you're good, you have to earn it. You don't have to sleep around because for how long would one continue to sleep around- it makes no sense. If people don't recognize you today, you'll be recognized tomorrow.
So what wouldn't you do for money?
I can't kill for money. I can't pose nude for money and I can't go diabolical for money.
There are a lot of things I can't do for money.
Between love and money, which one will you choose?
Well, I'll take love but money is still important because money makes love stronger
Does it mean you can't settle down with a man who is not so rich?
I haven't said that. When you marry a man, I'm sure you can't feed on sand. And the man can't keep singing songs of love into your ears without providing for your needs. So, lovecomes first but money is also important.
So when your husband approached you,
What drew your attention to him?
When my husband approached me, it was his physic that attracted him to me because then I used to love R.Kelly. So my husband was like R.Kelly. Afterward, I noticed he has a good nature- he's sweet, nice, understands me well, he knows when I'm not happy and when I'm happy.

Empress Njamah - “I And Timaya Are Not Dating Again"
"I and Timaya are not dating again. He saw me at the party and came to exchange pleasantries with me. There is nothing wrong with that. If we are not dating again does not mean that we are worn enemies."
Empress said
Empress was said to have sat at the same table with some of her Nollywood colleagues when Timaya reportedly got closer to her and whispered into Empress ear as they both laughed.
"He was just trying to be nice and Empress replied him, saying "That's that." a source disclosed.
Timaya and Empress Njamah began dating over four years back. But in August, 2009, at a church in Festac, Lagos, Timaya was reported to have been beaten by some naval men when he stormed the church with the aim to attack Empress.
He was said to have caused fracas in the church, shouting that Empress should return the key to the car he bought for her. The controversial singer also reportedly called Empress a thief, a situation that led to their permanent separation. Timaya has since moved on with his life. In May 2012, he welcomed his first child, a baby girl from his girlfriend.

Snoop Dogg Appreciated Delima Ronaldo's Style On And Off The Pitch
You may not know this, but rapper Snoop Dogg is an old school soccer fan.
Goal.com caught up with Snoop for a few minutes at a promotional event on Monday night, and the hip-hop legend spit some soccer knowledge when asked about his favorite soccer player: Ronaldo.
"That's Ronaldo from Brazil from back in the day," he told Goal.com. "When I first started watching soccer, going to Europe for the first time, he was the one who was the most dynamic to me. I loved the way he played. He played with a lot of style, he was good and he had the different hairstyles. His hair was pretty."
Snoop currently keeps tabs on the U.S. national team. He participated in a charity flag football game with Hope Solo earlier this year and appreciates the Olympic gold medal-winning goalkeeper's attitude.
"She's a rider," he said. "I played with her in a celebrity flag game and she's tough. I know she's tough on that soccer field because she was tough in that flag game, and we were playing insane."
But while Snoop is a fan of soccer, it appears that his heart will always be with American football. The "Gin and Juice" rapper hasa charity called the Snoop Youth Football League, which brings inner-city youngsters onto the football field to help them learn life values.
Snoop is currently promoting FIFA 2013, but he's never going to give up on the Madden franchise.
"I love Madden, I can't live without it," he said with a smile.

"Girls Tempt Me" - Sound Sultan
Have you done Marijuana before?
"I don't smoke and drink"
How do you survive the temptations?
"It is just principles and discipline. Peer pressures have been something I have overcome since I was a child. I have always been the go-to-guy in my group. I have never been known to do what people do; instead people do what I do. I am a Muslim, so there are a lot of things I don't do."
What has been your biggest temptation?
"It will always be women; there is this issue of women clouding over the industry. I don't know what they want from me or my marriage, whether it is money or bragging rights, I don't know."
So, how have you been able to manage that?
"I just keep praying and my wife understands"

Ebube Nwagbo: "A Woman Is Never Complete Without A Good Hair"
"My going into Posh Hair was my love for looking good. I wanted to invest into something I love. A woman is never complete without a good hair, and at that time the craze for human hair just set in. Every lady wanted to look good. But truth is it's not everybody that can afford to buy them because they are quite expensive. So I decided to do something for people out there thatcan't afford the luxury to look like their celebrities. With Posh Hair, you can still get the celebrity look without breaking a bank. Posh hair cuts across for everybody. We have got varieties depending on your budget. There's something for everybody. No matter who you are, we have different products to suit different tastes and classes. Going into posh hair was also because it is something that will help me to expand and grow, because it was part of what I needed.''
She also said that her acting career will not be forfeited for her new hair business; the reason is because she is a multifaceted person.
''I am not leaving any for the other. I juggle both. I am an actress as well as a producer and an entrepreneur. I am happy about that. It has not been easy, but hard work is very important in any success story.''
