Omosexy as she is fondly called, stated the sudden demise made her become emotionless and has never cried for anything again in her life. 
The actress added that she was close to going into prostitution to survive because of the challenges she faced at a young age.
She said: “I think everything have been today, positively or negatively was because of the death of my father, it affected me so much, I mourned my dad. I understand that I was his only child for a long time and my dad and I were very close, he was the manager of Lagos country club at the time and many influencial people come there and because of that, I started rolling with people of influence from when I was of a very little age.
“So I got to know them because I was always with my dad, there are presidents and my dad will want me to sit with them. The first thing my dad did that broke my heart was when he took me to Command secondary school Kaduna when I was 8. I was a child and I didn’t take it well, I asked why would my dad, when he was leaving, we were both crying when he left I felt because my dad had other kids so I’m no more important to him.
“When I was 13, they came to pick me up from school I have to go home, I questioned myself why I’m going home, so people in the school had the information that my dad had died, but were just assisting me to pack my bags but didn’t tell me. I knew something was wrong and prayed that hope nothing has happened to my dad.
“When I got home, I realized my dad was dead, so going through that mental process, I didn’t know how to react and I didn’t know how I was feeling, I was just silent but now that I’m older, I think I really understand everything. So I just became emotionless and it has affected me till today.
“There is nothing anyone says to me that can move me, I am so confident in who I am and I don’t fear anyone. I don’t fear for my life, probably I would have become a prostitute today I was very desperate to do anything and said I would rather sell my body than for anybody to take my younger brother apart”
