SENSATIONAL TV ACTRESS, CYNTHIA AMADI SPEAKS" WHY I LOVE TV MORE THAN MOVIES"
I have been around the industry for quite a while now.I made my first appearance in the indusrty in1999, but left and returned in 2005.
SO,WHY DID YOU LEAVE THE INDUSTRY?
Distance really slowed me downthen, i was coming from from Delta State University, so itwasn't really easy for me at all. I was shuttling between my lectures, examinations and most times, my exams clashed with my career, it was not easyat all, i decidedtoleave the and face my academics then.
SINCE YOU RETURNED IN 2005,CAN YOU MENTION THE NUMBER OF MOVIES YOU HAVE ACTED IN?
Honestly I have lost count.I have done quite some jobs both in the movies and in soaps. If I start counting, I may leave out some.They are quite numerous.
TALKING ABOUT SOAPS,WHY ARE YOU SO ROOTED IN THEIR PRODUCTIONS?
I will not say that I made the choice or that I prefer being in the soaps.I actually came into the industry through the movies.I did quite a number of movies before I did my first soap.My first soap was Images produced by Fidelis Duker. And from there, I went over to Treasures with Chico Ejiro. I think i did well in those soaps because the scripts kept coming from soap producers. Recently, someone told me that I have turned to a Soap opera queen, but I don't bother about that because I see all of them as acting jobs. Whether it is in the movies or soaps, it is acting where you have to interpret a role.Although, I discovered recently that I have been doing a lot of soaps than movies, but I am not feeling bad at all .
HOW HAVE YOU MANAGED TO GET THE JOBS COMING YOUR WAY FROM SOAP PRODUCERS?
I study my characters very well. I take time out to really read my character and put myself into it. I do a little reserach where it is needed, and I go ahead and interpret it. Acting is not just what you learn, it is innate. It is either you have it or you don't have it in you. I am gifted in that department. Maybe thatis why I excel.
IN THE SOAP "BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME, YOUR CHARACTER GREW FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER, AND YOU DID IT QUITE WELL. HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO INTERPRET SUCH A ROLE AND EVENTUALLY COMMAND LOTS OF POPULARITY THROUGH IT TILL TODAY?
That particular series was a blessing to me, and God used the producer, Wale Adenuga to bless me. You might do alot of movies without getting recognized, but just one movie can push you out.Very early in the morning one day, I got call from Adenuga and I went for the audition where lots of artistes were tried out and I was told to come to the office the next morning. When I went there, i was given two large scripts to go through, I was to start recording the next day. From Wale Adenuga's office , I went back home, packed my things and moved straight to location.So, I just had to read the scripts all night, and study the character as fast as possible. It is a character that progresses from an undergraduate to a wooman in her mid thirties. It was just the grace of God, because i felt that he wanted me to do the role.
I just had to do it, Meanwhile, you should know that this is Nollywood and not Hollywood, where you will have months to prepare for the character. In Nollywood, they might call you now and tell you about a character you might be playing in another two hours. We are accustomed to what we do here, because over time. There are challenges, be it mentally or emotionally.You have to task yourself and rise above the challenges.
COULD IT BE THAT THE KIND OF ROLES THAT COME FROM THE SOAP PRODUCERS ARE NOT COMING FROM THE MOVIE PRODUCERS?
There is something about soap opera and that is they have continuity, are more relaxing and you will understand what you are doing better. I have turned down some movie scripts because from the very first page, one can predict what will happen in the end. There might be no suspense and intrigue.. I have done a good number of movies, but I am very comfortable with soaps.. Right now, I will do a turn around the movies, because that was where I came into the industry from, I want to be seen as an actor, not a soap opera actor. There tend to be divisions, but it shouldn't be like that, because acting remains the same.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ACTRESSES MOVING INTO THE PRODUCTION OF SOAPS MORE?
There was a time when the world was seen as the ultimate, but after some time, people started turning in funny kinds of movie scripts, and actors were getting tired of that. soaps are intriguing and filled with suspense. Maybe, actors are getting tired of the kind of movie scripts producers churn out these days. There is a serious cross over and one of the reasons is that the movie industry is kind f epileptic right now.
YOU TALK SO PASSIONATELY ABOUT SOAP OPERAS, COULD IT BE THAT YOU LIKE THE SOAPS MORE THAN THE MOVIES?
No. Like I said before, acting remains the same, I don't have a preference for anyone of them. I see both of them as good jobs. There are people whom I will give an arm and a leg to work with, people like Emem Isong and Mildred Okwo. When you hear that they are about to produce a movie, you can tell the quality of the movie without seeing the script. It is not good enough for you to do twenty movies, and no impact is felt, its not all about the monetary angle, there is the passionate side to the job to consider.
THERE IS THIS GENERAL BELIEF THAT YOU ARE A NO NONSENSE PERSON AND THAT SUCH ATTITUDE IS THE REASON WHY PRODUCERS IN THE MOVIE INDUSTRY DON'T GIVE YOU SCRIPTS REGULARLY?
I am known for being a no nonsense person because I am a very discilined person. I don't like going late to a set. If I can get to the set even an hour before the time, and i see someone whom I am supposed to work with strolling in after two hours, it makes me angry. I see it as a lack of discipline and professionalism that everyone is crying about. Naturally, I am a no nonsense person and it has nothing to do with the progress of my career, All the directors whom I have worked with in the movie genre are very reputable and they don't take nonsense too.
DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR BACKGROUND OR DID YOU JUST CHOOSE TO GROOM YOURSELF IN THIS WAY?
There is no strategy attached to it all. It is the way I was brought up. We were taught to be disciplined by my parents. My friend Ejiro okurame calls me oku which means fire. That is the way people perceive me, and my background has alot to do with it. It does not mean that I fight, but I set a standard anywhere I go and maintain it. My parents are very strict and they inculcated that spirit in all of us.
FROM THE WAY YOU TALK, AM JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAVE A LOVE LIFE?
I have, you have, everybody has. I am in a relationship, but it is one angle i don't talk about .
YOU HAVE REMAINED OUT OF CONTROVERSIAL LIMELIGHT. HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO ACHIEVE THAT?
I am a child of God, and i don't believe in scandals. I am not an indescent person: i live right and straight. I try not to do anything that will put me into any kind of controversy. I have my family name to pretect. They were not pleased when i=I was going into the industry. They only started supporting me when they realised how well i could handle the whole thing and still keep my descency intact. There are still so many people in this industry who are not scandalous, but they have been hit by the wind of controversy. I have not been hit and I pray i will not be hit in Jesus name;say Amen for me now (laughs).
YOU DONT COME FROM THE THEATRE BACKGROUND. WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO COME INTO THE INDUSTRY?
I nursed the passion for acting for a long time. I used to participate in stage acting in my primary school days. Then such activities were documented and sent to NTA, and i can remember my mom pointing me out on TV: that motivated me, then Liz Benson was also a major influence. I love that woman: i like her style and personality. She and a few other people motivated me alot. I discovered that I had the faliar and passion for acting, so I decided to pursue it.
RIGHT NOW YOU ARE S STUDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, HOW DO YOU BALANCE YOUR STUDIES AND YOUR ACTING CAREER?
It has not been easy but I still cope, my department is one where what you score is what you get. profession that puts you out there in the limelightwhat you earn in terms of marks is what the lecturer will record for you. All my lectueres know me that I try to work hard. I used to shuttle between location and school: most times i wake up at night to study. It has not been easy and I am glad that its almost over. I can't even tell anyone to write my tests or do my assingments for me.
HOW DO YOU MANAGE FELLOW STUDENTS AND LECTURERS WHO MIGHT BE LOOKING AT YOU WITH THAT EYE OF STARDOM?
Honestly, my lecturers are very proud of me: They know the amount of hardwork i put in school and I have good grades to show for it. Its a profession that puts you out there in the limelight, So everybody expects me to laugh with them all the time. I can't be playing in class because I have alot of things to do withtin a short period of time. So, you can't catch me in class talking unnecessarily. Most people think I feel pompous because I act, but i don't allow such comments to pull me down. Not everybody can love me, but I have very good friends who really support what I do.
WHAT ARE YOU SO PASSIONATE ABOUT IN ACTING?
I love the camera, it is my playground. I can't be tensed in front of the camera. I have been a lover of the camera since my childhood.

KOKO MANSION:meet the kokolets!

Kokolette Mary Osinachi Bruno (MARY)
Age: 21
Occupation: Student [Lagos State University]/ Business Woman
Mary describes growing up as fun, with a few tough times. Her nickname Sleek Chic best interprets her personality; having been raised in Lagos, she describes the incessant traffic on the roads as an inspiration that influenced a deep appreciation for promptness, swiftness, and accuracy in her actions through life. As a result, she’s learnt to act on her decisions quickly.
She describes her parents as liberal disciplinarians, “they let you take your own decisions once they think it’s the right one”. According to her, she’s on this show just to live the life, and show Nigerians the kind of person she really is. She’s not really in for the money, but here because she wants to experience what it’s like to live in the same house with strangers – mix with other people from different backgrounds, since all her life, she’s never shared a house with persons other than her immediate family. She however states that, “the fact that I’ve not lived with other people doesn’t mean I don’t know how to live with people”. 
Kokolette Victoria Oloye (VICTORIA)
Age: 20
Occupation: Student
When this young lady said, “I need to prove to people that you don’t need to come from a wealthy family to succeed in life” - she was just summarizing her travails, and describing her ambitions in life. She wants her life to be an inspirational rags-to-riches story. She is determined to use her participation on the show to buttress her point. Her dreams are gigantic, channeled in many directions. To her it is an effective strategy for success, because then when one door closes, she opens up another one. Her many dreams include running a successful travel agency, producing international standard movies, and owning a video-vixen agency.
In order to keep herself focused on the bigger picture, she’s had to stoop on many occasions to conquer – she’s run a street-side phone call centre, worked as a sales girl, and later became a waitress in a classy bar, before enrolling into the Nigerian Institute of Aviation and Maritime Studies. She cuts across as an emotional young lady with so much energy and determination to make the best out of the available options that life has presented her.
Her strategy for success on the show is, “ to simply be me, because if the judges could find me interesting enough to shortlist me, then the public will also be impressed by the real me”.
Kokolette Shona Merenu (SHONA)
Age: 23
Occupation: freshly graduated from the Imo State University
Despite the fact that Shona disagrees that she’s a loud person, she admits that, “I don’t seek out attention intentionally, but I always end up attracting attention to myself”.
She was more of a tom-boy growing up with three elder brothers, yet she feels that she was pampered as the last child in her family. She’s a very opinionated person who likes dictating what she wants to do, believing that nobody is capable of intimidating her.
She hates rules, but does not always go out to break them; instead she looks out for loopholes in the rules that could work in her favour. “I’ve never struggled for anything in my life before, that’s why I want to struggle with eleven other beautiful ladies, because I need an experience to look back upon”, she says, going on to describe how she wishes to reconstruct people’s perception of her, “When people meet me, at first sight, they feel am a proud person with an attitude, and I want to correct this impression”
She comes to the Koko Mansion on a mission to prove how deep she really is, while exposing her many talents which include knitting, sewing, hair braiding, and make-up. Not forgetting that this young lady has her eyes set on establishing a career in modeling and acting. 
Kokolette Rita Isoken Igbinedion (RITA)
Age: 19
Occupation: Student
Probably the most emotional candidate in the mansion, Rita is a walking example of determination. Over the years, through experience, she’s learnt that the only way to succeed in life is to believe in your self 100%. “I came here because I want to get exposure, not necessarily because of the money, because if I represent myself well, the future will give me more money than the prize money”, she said, admitting that she intends to be caring to her fellow contestants, and guide them whenever they’re wrong.
Coming from a very humble background has made her resolute in her pursuit to become successful. She believes her chances at the title are obvious, as she puts it, “I can prove myself as a woman because I know my left from my right”.
Her ambition was inspired by an emotionally daunting experience a few years ago, when she was sent packing from school for her parents inability to pay her school fees – as she remembers, her dad was broke, and the rich folks she knew berated her for being poor instead of helping her with the required sum to pay her school fees – that incident introduced her to how cold the world was to the poor, “it was after this incident that I swore to myself that I was going to succeed in life”She comes to the mansion with the ability to tell emotionally gripping stories, and promises to be an interesting candidate. 
Kokolette Rekana Sharon Ojong (REKANA)
Age: 23
Occupation: freshly graduated from the University of Calabar
She majored in Policy and Administrative Studies, yet her passion is deeply rooted in fashion. But if you think that being crazy about fashion is a denigrating attribute, then think again, because this young lady is on a mission, “I’m here to prove to people that I’m not just a beautiful person, but someone with enormous intelligence and depth”. Rekana’s childhood was not exactly a Cinderella story, “growing up was very difficult – I was raised by my dad alone because my mum left us when I was eight”.
She grew up with four older brothers, and one sister, and as the case would be, she became a Tomboy, until she was rescued by a professional model who was involved with her dad, igniting her passion for fashion, and gradually grooming her into becoming a delectable young fashionista who’s left no trace of her tom-boy days. She decided to participate on this show because she loved the challenge of proving herself as an ideal Nigerian woman, “I like to be seen as a modern day woman who knows where she came from” she says, “from experience, I’ve been judged by my appearance, and for this reason, I want to advocate to people that they should not just look at a beautiful woman as a sex object”.This young lady believes in challenging challenges.

Kokolette Elizabeth Efe Era (LIZZY)
Age: 27
Occupation: Student (University of Uyo)
Elizabeth is a lady that strikes you as someone who’s out to save the world, even if this task ends up hurting her. Despite the fact that she is studying economics, she maintains an unrelenting flair for entertainment.

Kokolette Lilian Ebehohon (LILIAN)
Age: 18
Occupation: Student (University of Benin)
Lilian is one of the youngest contestants on this show, yet she is by far one of the more imposing candidates. This young lady arrests your attention with her youthful “never let anyone or anything intimidate me” attitude; her zest for life is in fact highly infectious, as her demeanor gives away the fact that she’s determined not to be taken for granted as a result of her age.

Kokolette Chioma Akuezue (CHIOMA)
Age: 21
Occupation: Musician
Chioma is a talented musician who has no time to disguise her motivation for participation on the show, “I’m here for the money, because when I get the money, I’ll be able to produce my songs, and the popularity will help too, because for you to succeed in the entertainment business, you need to be known”. She believes she’s different from the other candidates because she can sing very well. Her slender frame lured her into modeling, a profession she is also passionate about. She even described her biggest challenge in life as her desire to prove to those fashion organizers who hurt her ego a few years ago by telling her she wasn’t fit for runway modeling, that she could and would become a successful entertainer.

Kokolette Chinwe Hilda Ukadike (CHINWE)
Age: 23
Occupation: Just concluded NYSC
The fact that Chinwe loves tattoos cannot be overemphasized, because her love for tattoos is buried skin deep in three different places on her body. But so also is her passion for fashion, and her ambition to become a celebrated actress. She likes to consider herself as someone who got the necessities of life as a child, “growing up was fun for me, I was always doted on by eight wonderful elder sisters”. Chinwe grew up in Lagos. She loves watching horror movies, “I enjoy watching movies like Van Helsing, and whenever I’m watching a movie like this, I turn the light off [for that eerie effect]”.

Kokolette Chidinma Mbalaso (CHIDINMA)
Age: 20
Occupation: Student (University of Abuja)
For Chidinma, her biggest concern is for people to see her as more than just a pretty face. This pretty young lady, whose role models are Dora Akunyili and Oprah Winfrey, considers herself an emotional person whose life ambition is to be an entertainment mogul. “I want to do movies – I want to be on TV – I want to make a difference in the entertainment industry”, she says. Growing up for her was very pleasant, “it’s not like my family is very well to do, but my parents made sure I didn’t lack anything, but they also made me understand that I couldn’t have everything”.

Kokolette Bolanle Okhiria (BOLANLE)
Age: 21
Occupation: Student [Lagos State University]
Bolanle’s first reactions to her selection was loaded with surprise, doubt, and utter consternation; she honestly thought someone was playing pranks on her, “I waited for so long for that call, and when it finally came through I was too excited to believe it was real – I had to tell the producers to prove to me that it wasn’t some kind of a joke” she said, still ecstatic about being selected. Bolanle, or Miss Bee as her close friends would call her, can best be described as a rounded character fresh off the set of a television sitcom – her intelligence, beauty, and sense of humour are some of the qualities that make her company completely irresistible.
Bolanle was born into privilege, but by the time she turned 12, her family fortunes took a nose dive into recession, forcing her to switch from a life of opulence to one of abject poverty. “I was born with a silver spoon, but when my family fortunes turned, I was forced to learn that life is not a bed of roses”, she recalls with a warm smile, “my dad told me, it was always best to make a very positive impact out of any negative circumstance”.
With a bouquet of talents ranging from rapping to dancing; Bolanle looks up to women like Cecilia Ibru and Tyra Banks as her role models. Thanks to the energy she’s derived from the lives of these exemplary women, her career ambition is to one day start her own talk show – The Bee Show, a platform to educate young women on the essence of being beautiful, bold, and brilliant.

Kokolette Bidemi Jolayemi (BIDEMI)
Age: 23
Occupation: Student [Olabisi Onabanjo University]
Bidemi is an unrepentant optimist. “I’m a girl with a PMA – Positive Mental Attitude” she reaffirms, “I’m disciplined, sociable, and hardworking”. Bidemi’s strong faith in humanity gives her a romantic disposition that believes that something good could always be harnessed from very bad situations. She’s always never in favor of popular opinions on issues, fashion, and everything in between, “I don’t like following the crowd, and I like setting my own unique trends, dictating my own pace, because I never let myself to be sucked in by peer pressure” Bidemi recounts an incident that almost shook her faith in optimism, “ when my dad was in a coma, about to die, and the doctors told my family that he was going to die – I was the only one who stubbornly held on to the belief that he would live, but he eventually died”, yet she did not give up believing that her faith was not misplaced, “my dad had always wanted me to be a medical doctor because he was diabetic and hypertensive, and his sole heart desire was to have one of kids cure him…”. Though she was devastated by her father’s death, she’s determined to save as many people as possible, and this is the reason why she’s currently studying to become a medical doctor. Her life is a crusade to give good health to the sick, and save the world from pessimism. She comes to the mansion, with years of experience living with strangers, from boarding school to her hostel on campus, “I’ve lived with strangers before and they all became friends with me, I’m patient, and it really takes time to get on my nerves, however I don’t like people taking me for granted”
SO WHO IS YOUR FAVOURTIE KOKOLET AND WHAT IS YOUR SAY ABOUT THE PROGRAMME?
