“I have two younger brothers and was a tomboy,
fiercely independent. I used to scare boys from a very young age. They found me
too much, because I knew what I wanted and I’d boss them around. In those days
my mother would joke that I would never find a husband.” screen goddess
disclosed in a recent interview with a UK-based newspaper, Telegraph.
She stated that she had two
younger brothers and that rubbed off on her making her a tomboy, adding that
her mother used to make jokes that she would not find a husband, ironically she
met her husband when she was 16 years old.
A daddy’s girl while growing,

boy. Her father, a manager of Lagos Country Club, died in an auto crash when
she was just twelve years old.

different kind of African man. He was very enlightened. He always asked me what
I wanted, and encouraged me to speak up. He treated me like a boy.”
