Most celebrities love shopping, are you one of them?
I am not one of them but I have to shop. It is a necessity.
What don’t you like about shopping?
I hate shopping for clothes. I just
don’t like that bit of trying clothes on to see if they would fit. It is
tiring. But I shop anywhere I see. Most times, it is when I don’t even
have a need for something that I buy it because I know it would come in
handy one day.
You must love shopping abroad since you travel often…
I don’t love it at all. In fact, I don’t even shop abroad again. I don’t like all that waka waka; I am not a market woman. But I buy from my friends who travel abroad.
Do you love designers?
I only love designer perfumes. I am not a freak for designer clothes. A designer perfume smells better than any other.
How much can you spend at once in a shop?
It depends on how buoyant I am. I have
spent over N200, 000 at a stretch. I actually shopped for a video shoot.
There were so many things I wanted to wear for that shoot but I even
ended up not wearing them. But then, no matter how bad it is, I must
spend at least N20, 000 any time I shop.
Do you shop for people?
I buy gifts. If I see things that would
look good on my friends or their children, I buy. But I wouldn’t want
anybody giving me money to shop for her. I don’t like that.
