And

In
this interview with, the Theatre Arts graduate of the University of
Ibadan, spoke on the above allegations and her source of wealth.
Bakare, also opened up on her cold war with Bisi Ibidapo Obe and many more. Enjoy.
You are a very pretty woman, don’t men disturb you for affairs regardless of your marital status?
You are a very pretty woman, don’t men disturb you for affairs regardless of your marital status?
One
thing you must know is that not everybody that likes you as a person
would want to date you. Some just want to be friends and that’s all .
Most of them know that I am married. Even if they are crazy about me,
they should know that I am married. Actually, there is nothing to talk
about them. Besides, it is not everybody that has access to me , so they
can only admire me from a distance.
It
is only family and friends that have access to knowing me better.
Anyway, it is good for people to like what you do, appreciate you and
learn one or two lessons from your movies.
Aside your fans, how about top society men who ‘spoil’ our actresses with money, have you been in such situation?
Well,
I see no big deal in that. As long as one is a lady, men of different
calibres will always come around you. I just don’t see it as anything
but the lady has to take a stand; if you are not available, then you are
not. Things have changed a lot now, unlike the good old days when such
things are seen as taboo and shouldn’t be talked about. if a man asks
you out, it is just a matter of mutual understanding, just talk it over
and that’s that.
It is being rumoured that the fleet of SUVs you cruise in was bought by one of your sugar daddies, how true is that?
Lot of stories are going around, I must say. But anyway, that’s Nigeria for you. Our African mentality. We tend to bring up issues at the slightest occurrence. As for me, I don’t know where this particular one emanated from. Maybe because I have four SUVs and other normal cars so they believe that someone out there must have bought them for me.

Well, my love for big cars like Jeeps is not questionabale because that is what I inherited from my father.
While
growing up, my father buys big automobiles a lot and also drives us
around in them. And while we are in these vehicles, I also hear them
talk about the latest Jeep in town, its features and stuffs like that.
So since then, I just fell in love with big cars. I also travel a lot,
when I go to America and I see the car that I like , I just go for it
and send to Nigeria. And I bought them all with my money.
So you are saying that there was no time anybody bought you a car?
It doesn’t matter. But I just can’t get a car for a gift, it is not possible. I bought the four SUVs and the Honda car with my own money.
Which of them did the former Governor of Oyo State, Alao Akala buy for you?

Which of them did the former Governor of Oyo State, Alao Akala buy for you?
I honestly don’t know where all those stories are coming out from. Nothing of such happened. He didn’t buy me anything.
Back to acting , you once had a fight with Saheed Balogun on stage, what caused the fight?
Ha!
I am just hearing that for the first time. You know you journalists
hear things we don’t even know existed. Saheed Balogun is a big brother
to me in the industry, so I see no reason to pick a fight with him. I
address him as my big brother.
What challenges do you encounter as an actress?
What challenges do you encounter as an actress?
The
only time I had challenges was when I was in the university. It was not
easy struggling with education and work. Struggling with my education
and the birth of my baby was also a challenge.
At
a time, I needed to leave school to go and have my baby so, all those
things were challenging. I had to travel out of the country to meet my
husband and then come back. I was always going out and coming in.
What has being famous deprived you?
A whole lot o! I just want to be as free as possible. Go clubbing, dance like I want to, drink and just be free Laide. Move around freely, jog around, and go to some places . I cant do that anymore because of my fame. It is really eating deep into me. Same reason I will not allow my kids to be popular.

Any regrets so far being in the limelight?
No!
Not all. Because in everything I give thanks to God. Where I am today, I
never planned for it but God in his infinite mercies has been seeing me
through.
Insiders are alleging that there is a rumoured cold war between you and Bisi Obe-Ibidapo?
I hardly meet her, in fact we hardly see. I have no business with Bisi. She is just a colleague and not a friend.

Maybe
journalists might have seen us at events snub each other but that
doesn’t mean we have a rift. We are neither friends or enemies.
If the acting of a movie brings us together, we’ll do our work and go our separate ways.
I
have lots of them like that in the industry. I am the kind of person
that choose my friends and not the other way round. I am a reserved
person and I don’t have too much people around me as friends but few of
them.
Like
you said, you travel a lot and also has a very tight schedule, how then
do you strike a balance between your job and the home front?
It
is God. I won`t talk about my family because that’s what I so much
cherish. I so much treasure my daughter and my husband. I treasure them a
lot. I avoid anything that will affect them. I don’t want to have
problems with my family. I don’t want to put them in the public eyes. I
would rather keep it to myself. I don’t talk about my family. They are
strictly private.
Yes! My husband loves me and supports what I do. He encourages me in every way he can.
