This is because Afrocandy had posted on her Facebook wall that she was considering Uche and some other actresses to star in her next soft porn movie. This didn’t go down well with Uche who released a statement immediately disassociating herself from what Afrocandy said…a move I applauded Uche for.
The issue with Afrocandy, the soft porn producer also went viral. What really happened? Did she approach you personally to feature in her movie?
She didn’t approach me personally to say I should star in her movie. But she released a statement on her Facebook wall. I saw the statement because a lot of people drew my attention to it. I didn’t know who she was, but I had heard of her because the media had been saying unpleasant stuff about her.
Was that why you sent out your own statement about you not being a porn actress?
Being who I am, I didn’t take a second thought before I issued my statement. Her Facebook statement could have meant so many things. It could have been that she admired me and wished to be in a movie with me. It could have also meant she wanted me to star in her porn movie. I didn’t think of the former before I released my statement.
A lot of people choose to take the negative than the positive, so I needed to clarify some issues to some people who might have thought I was considering going into pornography. I don’t have anything against her. She is a Nollywood actress, but I cannot live her kind of lifestyle. I am so decent even in the movies.
I told her that I wouldn’t be able to feature in her movie and even if I have to become a porn actress, I would have to do it professionally and with a higher industry and certainly not cheap porn.
She replied your statement…
Oh yes. She replied and blasted me. But I didn’t react. I wouldn’t want to cheapen myself. I would have been promoting her if I had done that.
But we learnt you sent friendship request to her on Facebook?
I don’t know her. I don’t think she is my friend on Facebook. It is funny. She was just trying to make herself important. I know who I am. I have well over 24,000 followers on Facebook. I don’t think I sent a request to her. I can only do that to people who are bigger than me, especially big companies.
I don’t use Facebook to connect to anybody or set up a friendship. I have so many messages on my wall but I cannot reply. They are so many. This was somebody who said she wanted to act alongside me and some others in her movie.
It then meant she had some high regard for me. I didn’t go to meet her and beg to be in her movie. She is not the kind of person I would want to relate with. I want to be friends with women of substance. I want to be known for good reasons and not bad. I want to be friends with people who live a good life.
Would featuring in her film have been a bad idea?
I am not a porn star. I don’t want to act in a porn movie. I want to get married. I want to have children and be a good wife and mother. This is Africa and not Hollywood. Nobody can ever see me go naked in the movies. Nobody has ever seen me take off my clothes and show any part of my body in the movies.
Really, but you said you can act Nood some time ago?
I said that but I attached a lot of conditions to that statement. But people chose to take the first part and went to town with the story that I said I could act Nood. I only said I could act Nood if my culture and tradition permit me. Am I crazy to say I want to act Nood? If I weren’t in a community that would criticize me if I act Nood, then I could do it. That was what I said. I respect my tradition.
QUICK DEEVANALYSIS:
I’m very happy that Uche Ogbodo cleared the air with this interview. My respect for her has increased. She got me especially when she said:
“This is Africa and not Hollywood… Am I crazy to say I want to act Nood?… I want to be known for good reasons and not bad…I am not a porn star. I don’t want to act in a porn movie. I want to get married.”
