Ronke Ojo Anthony, whom everybody calls Oshodi Oke, due to her natural frontal endowment, is quite heavy.
She
is big in every ramification .If you want to be witty, naughty, smart
or intelligent, Ronke is equal to the task and she is a good actress.
The star actress, in a new interview with Vanguard revealed intimate
secrets about her life, career, marriage and future ambitions.
Read the interview below..... How did you come about acting?I
started acting as a result of some challenges that came my way when
growing up. My father was a custom officer and my mother a grade II
teacher. Things were smooth for us until my father had issues with the
Nigeria Customs and there was a turn around. My mum’s income was not
enough for our upkeep and as the first child of the family, I wanted to
support her. I moved into selling of clothes and other petty businesses
at Tincan Island . But before that, I had loved entertainment, simply by
watching home videos. Music and films were part of me. I had a cousin
who I used to accompany to Fadeyi to see a friend of his. Then actors
had their caucus known as ‘Star Parade’ there and each time we went
visiting, I felt like becoming part of them. In 1997, I walked up to
Mufutau Oladokun (Baba Alaran) who later became my boss and that was how
I found my way into the world of acting.
Some people refer to you as an illiterate because you never attended a university, your comment?I
have a good background and valued education. But going to the
university was something I had to sacrifice when things became rough for
my family. I have the plan of going back to school but as the
breadwinner of my family, a career woman, mother and a wife, it has not
been easy. But when the time comes, I will, even if it means going
abroad to avoid distraction.
You have big boobs, have they caused you any embarrassment?Before
now, I get ashamed of them. But I later began to see the beautiful side
and stopped hiding them because they fit me. People appreciate my boobs
and I also love it. My boobs are one of the things that brought me to
limelight in the movie industry.
Is your boobs your selling point?Yes, it is and apart from that it is one part of my body I cherish most.
Are you happily married?Yes, I am.
Why are you not living with your spouse?I
prefer how we live apart. At the early stage of our courtship, it was a
bone of contention but later he knew what I wanted and I appreciate him
for that. If I really want to be successful in my marriage and career,
this is how best we feel we can go about it.
It was also gathered that you once broke up with your spouse?I
met my husband in 1999 after Ronke Oshodi Oke came out. We became
lovers in 2000 but we could not move to the next level because of
certain differences. Most Nigerian guys would think twice before
marrying an actress. We dated for four years and went our separate ways.
In-between those four years I met another guy whom I had my first child
for. A year after I had my first issue, my then lover, who is now my
husband came back and we began our affair in secret, though he proposed
to me three times during the time.
Why the secret affair?I
did not want to have kids for different men. But because we were best
of friends, he was always there for me and we were in love, we settled
our differences and came back together.
Why did you leave the father of your first child?He
wanted me to come stay in Canada with him and I can not live outside
Nigeria for any reason, I can only go visiting . Moreover, living in
Canada will affect my career. I could not get happiness from the union
but I waited five years before going into another marriage officially.
Can we say it is one of the reasons you are reluctant to live with your husband?Not at all. It only shows we understand ourselves very well. My husband is my friend.
How have you been coping as mother, career woman and a wife?It has not been easy but as an African woman I have been managing well.
