Speaking in an interview with Nollywire, the actress described acting as her life’s purpose, noting that recognising this has shaped how she manages the pressures that come with fame and public expectations.
“I have decided that this is my passion. I have decided that this is why God has put me on earth. And I know that I have to take care of myself,” she said, adding that while expectations are high, she strives to meet them without compromising her well-being.

She also disclosed that she pays close attention to her lifestyle choices, including her diet, as part of efforts to remain balanced and healthy while navigating the entertainment industry.
