“Dis is wat we call a disaster
makeup...wattt”
“Huh
u look horrible “
What's
this naa? Pls try other style of haircut next time. Sincerely speaking I love
and appreciate you, but you see this hair do is absolutely bad on you. You
should consider your shape of face and nose too before deciding to do this.
Still your lovely fan *shuga bbym* kisses.”
These were some of the several comments posted by some of her followers on Instagram earlier this week when Nollywood
actress, Uche Ogbodo’s wall posted a picture.
Apparently a runway look, the actress, a mother of one whose marriage with Nigerian ex-footballer Ato Ubby failed, must have been hurt by
the comments because she hasn’t posted any after that.
Today August 6, 2016, she spoke with SATURDAY PUNCH on the
gothic look that caused a stir.
“I
am aware of all the negative comments people posted on my wall after I uploaded
a picture some days back. That picture and the make-up were done for a designer
that contacted me for a celebrity runway gig. The make-up artist felt that was
the look that would work for them. I am an artiste and that work puts food on
my table. In my past interviews, I have always said that I can do anything for
my job. I don’t care what people think or say about me. It does not affect me
in anyway and it is not going to make me cry neither would it make me feel bad
about myself because I am a very confident woman.
“I
began losing weight because after I had my baby, some people said that I was
too fat while others felt I was not looking okay so I had to go to the gym to
work on my body. I am a very busy girl and I work round the clock. If I am
working on my body, it is because of the love I have for myself and my job so
anybody who does not like it should know that I don’t care. If you don’t like
the make-up applied on my face, then that is your business.
“Last
week, I was filming in Abuja and I played the part of a tomboy so I needed to
cut my hair to look the part. I have a full hair and I always cut my hair. It
is my job and I will do anything I have for it. When the director told me to
cut my hair to fit the role better, I did not think twice about it and that was
why I did the Mohawk style. Right now, I am producing my movie and I am going
to play the part of a blind girl. I will do anything to get into character. I
don’t care what people say about my looks. I get bored with one particular look
and if you know me well, I change my looks from time to time and if you do not
like it that is your business. I don’t care about what anybody says; I wore the
dress that the designer made and the make-up artist worked on my face to sell
the product. When I got on the runway, people liked it and they took pictures.
That was why I decided to upload it on my Instagram page so that my followers
would have a feel of what I did over the weekend.
“Instead
of applause, I got comments that I look like a masquerade or I am very dark. I
am tired of insulting people on my page. I have a very sharp tongue and if I
start to talk, people would say I am rude and I would later have to apologise
for it. What I have learnt about being a celebrity is that you can never
satisfy everyone. My career demands that I look different at all times. I am
going to post a picture of me as a blind girl and I don’t care what people
say,” Ogbodo said.
