We didn’t start out like he asked me out.It happened honestly by chance and I still wonder how I got in (General laughter).
I didn’t know he was a movie star when I met him at President Obama’s inauguration party in Maryland,USA.
I did not know he was this popular.Unfortunately,at that time,I didn’t watch Nigerian movies,so I didn’t know about him.
The only question I asked him that day was,you just walked in here and everybody in the room was saying hello,do you know all these people? And he said no.And I said,so,how come they know you?He said well,by virtue of what I do.
I said what is it that you do?He said Nollywood.And my next question was what is that?(Laughs).He started laughing.
Everyone else in the room was laughing too,so I had to now go look at what is Nollywood.
All of this publicity,and the fans,his crown,his level of accomplishments in Nollywood,at first,I didn’t know.I didn’t expect it.I saw it as a nuisance initially,but I guess with time I will get used to it.
When asked,so,how do you intend to cope with women,the fans and everybody trying to get a piece of him(Chidi);she said
Well,you always have to give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser and give to God what belongs to God.
I realized that with Chidi’s line of work,his fans are always going to be there.
He will always have to have friends and fans.And the Chidi that I met was simply Chidi.I didn’t meet GQ,the Nollywood actor(Laughter).So,that aspect of him is a new discovery.
The person that I met was simply Chidi.So,that’s the part of him that I will keep and I will let everyone else keep the GQ.
On whether I will relocate to Nigeria,I sincerely want to be with Chidi.Of course,we will both decide that.
It’s not an overnight decision.We have to harmonise things :)
