Celebrated and highly controversial actress, Cossy Orjiakor, who has been off the

social radar for years, honoured a friend’s invite recently and there, our

Contributing Editor, Ifechi Okoh, bumped into the sex siren. We reunited quickly

and had a banter for old time sake. It touched briefly on what has been happening

to her, possible plan to return to the centre stage, and other sizzling update fans

have been dying to know about her. Enjoy it!

What has actually been happening to you babie

Oh yeah! Well, my long silence indicates strongly that I have given a deep thought

to my career and, as such, taken time before I get involved in any project. The Cossy

you see now, is no longer that of those days when I was much younger and also very vibrant. I am now, much more matured.

So no more dancing for Fuji acts or any other acts too

Yes, I became popular with dancing for Fuji musicians... I am naturally a happy

person. I did things that time because I wanted to do them. I enjoyed dancing

then. But now, I can’t dance any more. I can’t even be in anybody’s video now.

The only way I can only manage, if they can feature me as a special guest. Oh yes!

What if you are given a well paid role as per movies which you don’t appear to be

as keen as before?

The truth was that I didn’t get roles regularly then like most other actresses who

did anything to get roles that time. However, I can still remember that when I got

into Nollywood, I brought in some kind of revolution. Prior to my entrance,

people were very mindful when they hug on stage. But I changed it by being more

practical as somebody who used to watch foreign movies and also poised to do

acting exactly the way it is done there. But unfortunately, people said and

maintained as a result, that I was simply raw. Well, I may have been pretty naive

then because I was much younger and daring too. The matter was actually

worsened by the fact that nobody was managing me and so, I had no guidance of

any sort. You see the problem then?

Are you into any relationship for now

With the unpalatable experiences which I have had in the past, I tend to keep to

myself most times. If somebody already has an opinion about you, there’s hardly

anything you do to please that person who already has a strong opinion about

you. You understand? I decided quickly and quietly too, not to bother myself at all

about such people because there are lots outside there, that I would want to

make them happy.

Is marriage in your plan for now

Honestly, I am not emotionally ready for marriage now. Once you are married,

you no longer have all the freedom you are used to. Definitely, men would cheat.

So, you need to be emotionally ready to handle that. Dating a man and being

married to him are two different things. Naturally, I am the kind of person who

hardly ignore somebody when I am upset by his action. This may be impossible if

we are married. I will consider marriage when I must have been able to control

my emotions. That time, I can handle tempting situations effectively.

Would you change your mind now if you see a youngman who suddenly sweeps

you off your feet?

It depends! When I see somebody I sincerely love, I will know.

What can a man do to satisfy you?

For a man to handle an actress everyone is all over, such a person must have

confidence. And for a man to handle a celebrity, he must be rich and with lots of

confidence too. This is because if the man is not rich, the natural confidence

would elude him always. If a guy out there loves me, he can easily entice me with

his money confidently and my man would look at the situation helplessly. Such a

man can’t satisfy my dignity which is first before any other thing.

So the man who can satisfy me, must be rich and also exude the confidence that

could rubbish the courage of any man who intend to grab me from him for the

fun of it. That is the kind of man who can satisfy me.
