In a recent interview with Nonye
Ben-Nwankwo of Punch, actress Empress Njamah talked about how she was one of
the first women to start wearing popular Brazilian hair
in Nigeria, she also talked about having over 200 pairs of shoes
and perfumes.
Some of her fans didn’t take her
interview likely as they claim it’s all lies and dissed her over it. Some even
went ahead to say she has body odour for claiming to have over 200 bottles of
perfumes. lol…Naija fans can be weird sometimes and their comments can make one
feel terrible about oneself.
Excerpts;
Are You Daring In Fashion?
I will not say I am not daring. As
an actress, I have to be versatile. But you have to be daring at the right
function. What I wear in Nigeria is different from what I wear abroad. It might
be fashionable to you and an eyesore to some other people.
Basically, I dress for the event and the country. Sometimes, you need to make a
statement but you have to be comfortable while making a statement.
Empress Is Known For Her Hairstyle.
How Come You Don’t Make It Simple When It Comes To Your Hair?
A lot of people
always talk about my hair
before my name while trying to introduce Empress. It is not a logo. It is just
that everybody has one thing they are used to and they like doing. Over the
years, I was one of the few that started wearing expensive Brazilian hair
before it became a craze. I like to wear very full hair. Most times, it
takes two people to make my hair. I wear what three or four people
can wear. I am a hair person. Sometimes you make your passion your profession.
I sell human hair but I started wearing it long
before I started selling them. For a lady, your hair should stand out.
What Else Should Stand Out Apart
From The Hair?
Your hair, your bag and your shoes
should speak volumes. It is not necessarily your dress. If you have a good bag
and a good shoe, it covers your outfit.
You Also Have So Many Foot wears?
I was able to give out 85 pairs of shoes
to orphanages in Abuja and Lagos. I was left with more than 200. You would feel
you have given out enough but at the end of the day, when you go back and
count, you will find out that they are still there.
Have You Stopped Buying?
I sell shoes. I have been a
shoe lover for a long
time. You make your passion your profession. I have been into it long
before I started the business, and that is why I enjoy doing what I do now.
People call me to advise them on the footwear to use for a particular occasion.
Do You Love Perfume?
I am a perfume person. I have bought
a perfume that is worth over N300, 000. I have over 200 bottles. It is either
you are into something or you are not. It doesn’t mean that there is no cheaper
perfume that smells better than that one, but it is something you like and you
want to pick it.
