Enugu-based Nollywood actress Jane Obi has challenged the notion that all men cheat. In an interview with Saturday Beats, she stated, “My partner does not cheat, so I don’t think that all men cheat.” When asked about favoritism in Nollywood, she commented that it is natural for people to prefer to work with those they are comfortable around. She also noted that beauty is an important factor in the entertainment industry.
Regarding the issue of ladies sending nudes to their lovers, Jane Obi said, “When one is in a long-distance relationship, there are things one cannot help but do. I don’t blame anybody that does that. The most important thing is for one not to be unfortunately in love with the wrong person.”
The actress has been facing pressure to get married, but she is determined to wait for the right time and person. When asked if she would like to end up with someone like Regina Daniels’ husband Ned Nwoko, she said, “I don’t think I can marry an older man like hers. I want someone to grow up with me. In fact, on no condition will I even accept to become a second wife. Also disrespectful and insecure guys are a huge turnoff. Paying attention does it for me.”
Finally, Jane Obi spoke about her experience with sexual harassment and how she has dealt with it. She said, “Sexual harassment is something every young pretty girl can’t really escape both in and outside the industry. I just try not to expose myself to it. I avoid anything that might put me in such a condition. I just take it one step at a time. I have never really been desperate for anything. However, in a world like ours you can never be too careful but I will prefer not to call anyone out.”
