"NO MORE SEXY ROLES FOR ME"-DAKORE EGBUSAN AKANDE

By


Producers and movie directors dreaming of featuring actress, Dakore Egbusan-Akande in a romantic movie role had better forget it!

The actress has declared that she can no longer act romantic roles because she is now a married woman and must consider her husband’s feelings before taking on new role.

In an exclusive chat with superbassnaija, the star of Silent Tearsstated that her career had taken on a new dimension since she returned to Nollywood because she has become not just a wife but also a mother: “I have to consider my husband before taking any role these days. I will not do romantic roles as readily as I used to back in the day. Though if I saw a role that is good and positive, maybe, I just might but I am now a new Dakore and not the old Dakore people used to know because I am coming into a new era in my career. I am now a mum and a wife. I just have to be more discerning about the movies that I embark upon,” she said.

In a career that spans well over a decade, Dakora has carved a niche for herself as one of the most sought after actresses in Nollywood.

However, after she got married in what has been described as one of the most anticipated weddings of Nollywood two years ago, the thespian went into oblivion and the rumour in town was that her husband, Olumide, had barred her from ever pursuing her first love, acting. How true’s that?

“It’s obviously not true because if it was, I wouldn’t have shot my latest movie and wouldn’t be working on other movie projects,” says Dakore, spreading her hands expansively to drive home her point as she shakes her head in negation, “It’s unfortunate that people just like to play into stereotypes. At this stage we are all grown up and we all know that life is not the way it was when we were growing up so women often have to work and earn a living. But aside the financial aspect, I also love what I do. I never retired from Nollywood and my husband never barred me from acting.”

But she’s married to the son of a billionaire. Why is she bothered about working when she could just laze away while her husband takes care of her every need?

“It doesn’t matter,” she retorts, “I am very independent and like taking care of things and apart from that, my acting is a gift from God. I would be very wrong if I were to dump it.”

She is always in the limelight and as an actress, her schedule is crazy. How is her husband coping?

“I think he is doing very well. I must commend him. He understands the nature of my job and he has been very supportive, he is my greatest fan ever. He understands it’s my job so he is not jealous that I am in the limelight.



Motherhood

 “Motherhood makes me appreciate my mum a lot more because now I know what she went through raising me and my siblings. It’s made me a much calmer person. Now I have to watch out for my
daughter and give her the very best in life. I am a much more mature and evolved person.”

So, now that she and her hubby already have a baby girl, how many more kids are they planning to have?

She bursts into laughter as she responds, a look of mock shock in her eyes as she blinks rapidly: “I don’t know. I am enjoying just having a baby. She is not even two years yet so no rush. God knows,” she adds laughing.

In a chat with superbassnaija , Wale Kuku disclosed that he was shocked when he heard claims credited to the act that he had quit SQN: “To tell you the WALE KUKU truth, I heard on radio and TV that he was done with SQN and I was shocked because we had a perfect relationship. It was later he told me he was done with SQN and I couldn’t believe it!” According to him, he has no issues with Chuddy K’s desire to jump ship. However he says if Chuddy K wants to leave, it must be done legally. “He has all rights to say he is done but it has to be done within the ambits of the law; it has to be done legally because there is a binding contract. To be honest with you, I really don’t know what led to his decision to leave. He just ca...

Actress Mary Uranta’s allegation: My story By TONY OGAGA ERHARIEFE

By
In its travel advisory, the Goethe Institute had warned: ‘Pack an umbrella and a sweater.’ For no particular reason I had ignored the warning and I was about to learn the hard way. As soon as we touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, for the 10 Cities project, sponsored by Goethe Institute, Nairobi and designed to capture the evolution of club culture and music in 10 cities across the world, I knew I was in a different environment. For one, the air smelt clean but the weather was cold, so cold I could feel it in my marrows. We had spent two brainstorming days that included power point presentations, in-depth discussions and debates. Now the organisers felt we should take a retreat and visit one of Kenya’s treasured resorts, Lake Naivisha, located in Nairobi’s countryside and elevated at 6000 feet above sea level. It promised to be an exciting experience as we had been informed that the journey would take us through the rift valley, which I had read about in the ...
