” Ekene guards her body like the Presidential vault ” – Mike Ezuruonye

Ekene is one of the hardest people in Nollywood to play a romantic lead role with. You can’t touch her body, not even when you’re cast as her loving husband. She guards her body like it’s a presidential vault.

Each time romance enters the script, a hug, a touch, even holding hands, Ekene instantly turns into her own personal SWAT team.

She’ll wrap her arms around herself first, like she’s shielding a priceless diamond. Before you can lean in, one hand is already on her chest like she’s reciting a national pledge!
When the script says, ‘kiss your wife on the forehead,’ Ekene starts spiritual maths like, ‘Did they mean forehead or just wave politely?’

Honestly, I respect her ways. In a world where clout rules, she sets firm boundaries and never bends. She doesn’t joke with her principles, and I deeply salute her for that.
