Actress, Nkiru Sylvanus reveals that she has never been married & she is currently looking for a man to marry

Veteran Nollywood actress, Nkiru Sylvanus discloses in an unterview that she has never been married & she is currently looking for a man to marry.

The actress popularly referred to as ‘Nollywood Cry Girl’ because of the proficiency and ease with which she sheds tears in her roles and who is the former Imo State Government Liaison Officer recently delved into music with a new album titled ‘I’m Not Afraid’.

She tells The Nation’s DUPE AYINLA-OLASUNKANMI that she is set to take her musical career as serious as she does her acting. She also talks on other sundry issues

You recently released an album, ‘I’m not Afraid’. What is the idea behind the title?

It simply means that I am not afraid of the powers that be. I am not afraid to express my commitment to God, I am not afraid to let the world know I stand with Christ. It’s about time we took the kingdom work more seriously.

What is the album content like?

The album is a bold step at bringing out one of my gifts, which is singing, and it is already on different online platforms. The 15-track album was released on March 25, 2018 by the Record Label, Kisil Entertainment Network.

It has songs like Imela, I Cry to You, Authority, Chukwu Obioma, Awesome God and I’m Not Afraid, featuring Ifunanya. I will begin the first leg of my media tour in Lagos.

Was being typecast o one of the reasons you took a break?

I don’t understand this, because I got my break in the industry with my first major work.

There have been several reports on you being married. Is there any truth to those reports?

We need to ask the rumour mongers because I am as confused as you are. It’s all rumours from idle people. It’s all lies. For me, my private life is my personal affairs. So whatever decision I take tomorrow, it’s totally my responsibility.

If it turns sour, I face it alone and if it turns sweet, I face it. It’s my life. I do what makes me happy. I’ve been married on the internet more than three times! They first got me married in 2008, then they got me married again in 2011 and then they got me married again in 2014/2015.

I’m beginning to ask, why do they like to get me married? If I was already married in 2008 and in 2011, why again should I be getting married in 2015? That means they were all lies. It’s all rumours. Some people will report this stuff like they know you when they only see you on TV.

But there were reports that you got married to your colleague’s hubby?

Which colleague? Because the last time I checked I am not married to anybody’s husband.

It is believed that you got your political appointment because of your personal relationship with the governor. And you left because of his wife. How true is this?

The appointment is like employment. You are employed to work, not to sit and eat. You work to put food on your table and also acquire more knowledge. An appointment isn’t an achievement that one would sit back and beat his chest to say I have arrived.

What could be so special with ‘come and work’ that people will make so much fuss about it? We should focus our energy on more productive things. My boss is my boss, nothing more and the wife is like a mother to me.

What is your reaction when you come across these stories?

I don’t pay attention to things that don’t add value to me, so I barely notice them.

What then is holding you back from taking the marital vows?

It will happen in due time, and when the time comes it won’t be a hidden affair; you will all be invited. When the right man comes calling and if I’m satisfied within my soul that this is the man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. I’ve worked hard as a young lady that, right now, I don’t want just any man but a man that will be there for me. A lot is being said about me, and I know.

What would you say you achieved while serving as Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Imo State?

I would say more knowledge and a better understanding of how government works in Nigeria. It’s an experience I would advise everyone who can to try so that they can understand the system well and not allow themselves to always be pushed around by all these power hungry individuals roaming the street and feeding us with lies.
