Ebube Nwagbo is a lady of style, and she likes to be seen as such. While many of her contemporaries have all jumped into music as an alternative to the movie work they do, the sultry actress, pitched a tent in the esoteric world of beauty as she brands a special hair attachment known as Posh Hair.
The eldest in a family of six, Ebube grew up in Warri, Delta State. She attended Federal Polytechnic, Oko and later Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, both in Anambra State, where she bagged a degree in Mass Communication.
She started acting in 2003 while still in school. And over the years, she has starred in movies such asStronger Than Pain, Shades Of Shame, Greatness, Africa And Soldier, Shakara Babe and others to her credit. The actress tells GERALDINE AKUTU what fashion means to her.
WHAT’s fashion to you?
It’s making a statement with your style, at the same time, being comfortable in it.
Why did you go into acting?
I’ve always loved being on screen, not as an actress, but as a TV broadcaster; when opportunity came to appear on screen during my industrial training period, I grabbed it. I had wanted to do something that would fetch me money rather than work in an office; so, when acting came, I took it; with all pleasure.
Who is your major influence in acting?
My all time screen idol is Liz Benson.
The secret of your good look
It’s being happy and eating right. I don’t let things stress me up. I take good care of my skin, sleep well and regularly visit the spa.
What’s your favourite fashion item
My shoes.
Favourite signature scent
White Musk by Tomford.
Favourite colour
Black, because I play safe with colours; and a little of pink, because they say it’s a girl’s favourite.
What would you not be caught wearing?
One colour ensemble. I rather mix and match my colours.
Favourite food
Rice and ofe akwu, local stew made from palm fruit.
Favourite holiday destination
South of France, Miami and Dubai.
Your likes
Honest people.
Dislikes
Failures, dishonest and fake people.
Your most embarrassing moment
It was the day I poured red wine on my white pair of trousers at an event. I was so embarrassed to get up and leave the venue with all eyes staring at the stain, thinking it was something else.
How do you spend your free time?
I spend it watching TV, sleeping and hanging out with family members and friends.
Philosophy of life
Happiness is key in everything we do. Do that that makes you happy and not what makes others happy. Life is too short; appreciate it because it’s God’s gift to humanity.
