In a recent interview, uber
beautiful model and 'Head Vixen in Charge' (as I like to call her), Venita
Akpofure disclosed her new direction: well, she has dropped the trade of
commercial appearances in music videos for younger girls...to "get married
someday." She also lets us in on her widely reported fight with popoular
OAP, Toke Makinwa, as well as the incident of tongue-lashing her friend and
fellow video vixen, Nicky Coppolang on Twitter for borrowing and not returning her 3 bundles of brazilian
hair... Plus, she's in love with a "beautiful" man, as she puts
it.
Read the whole scoop below!
You model, you act, and you dance, what
is your main profession?
I am model, an actress and I am now
also a CEO. I am about to kick off my boutique. I am actually still trying to
put things in place. I have an online business running for a while now,
so I am bringing it to life now. I am into everything from clothes, shoes,
ornaments, etc.
Obviously, you are more of a model.
When did the journey begin?
I took my first pictures in 2005. My
friend was going for a shoot, so he took my pictures. A lot of people bought
into the image and that was where it all started. From there, I started making
money with my pictures.
What are the other big names you
have modeled for?
Martini Rose is the biggest company
I have ever modeled for. I am on their billboards. Last year, I was the face of
FCMB (First City Monument Bank) and currently the face of Mouka Foam.
How about your appearance in videos?
My background in dance made me stand
out in the videos I appear. That is how I separate myself from what is
already in the market. But I have stopped doing videos. The last video I did
was Naeto C’s ‘Finish Work’. Besides, I did it for him and Clarence Peters as a
personal favour. I am full time on TV; acting, no more video appearances.
As in TV productions?
Yes, I am currently doing AY’s Crib.
It is a TV comedy series running every week. I also do lots of movies, but I
don’t know some of their names yet.
You once had a messy fight online
with a friend over Brazilian hair, what really went wrong?
I didn’t fight anyone. Anybody who
has been following me would know that I was an ambassador of a hairline, so
hair extensions weren’t really my problem. I can get it anytime I want it. What
happened was that I felt really betrayed by somebody I took as part of me. But
it’s okay, life has its lessons and I have learnt mine and haven’t stopped
learning more by the day.
I won’t say I regretted taking my
anger online but I just wished I did it in a different manner. I didn’t even mean
to. I just posted a comment where I poured out my anger, but you know bloggers
and their snooping around. Somebody just picked it up and blew it big. It’s
past and I have moved on. I like saying it all, the way I feel. And
nobody can change that about me.
But you also verbally fought Toke
for being ‘too fake’?
Toke’s case with me blew up twice.
The first one was really incorrect. I woke up in the morning and saw a headline
that I called her a ‘prostitute’ and I was like wow, really? Did I ever do
that? My comments online that period wasn’t referring to Toke, but there was no
need to come out and start defending myself over it. So, I just left it like
that. I and Toke are not enemies. She’s very good at what she does. I
respect her doing what she’s doing. It doesn’t necessary mean that I have to
like her or make her my friend.
After that, have you girls worked on
same set?
Yes of course, we have. We just do
our thing and go. There was no reaction from both parties. I am really a blunt
person, so you don’t really want to come close to me and confront me over
certain issues. Because what you will get back will really hurt but I
won’t stop telling you the truth.
What does love mean to you?
It means happiness. If you love
yourself more, you source for your happiness. Love is family. Not necessarily
blood ties, but people close to me and we share certain things in common.
Are you in love?
Of course yes! I am in love. I don’t
like to admit it because I have my own tough girl thing going on, but matters
of heart takes over you. I am very much in love with my man. A very cute man
for that matter. He is my honeypie. He is also in Nigeria but very
similar to me; he has background from some other countries. He has same morale
and aspiration like I do. I love him so much, that is the much I can say.
What is the attraction?
He is simply beautiful! I look in
the mirror and I see him. Sometimes, people even think that we are related. We
were friends for a while before been intimate. We have been together for
a year now.
What if he proposes?
Yes of course, I will say yes. I am
no longer a spring chicken (yes). I am 27-year old. I have stopped the
video vixen for other younger girls. I want to get married someday. If it is
the will of God that we both are joined in matrimony, then so be it.
