Life is indeed a journey and its experiences help shape our thoughts,
attitudes and actions. This is the
mantra of sassy actress, Christabel Ekeh, as her
experiences have taught her to be cautious of
the men who come her way and want to be
more than just friends.
In an interview with her, she recounted her
experience with a man (name withheld) who
came into her life and wanted to be more than
friends. She agreed but in her mind she decided
to really examine the guy to find out if the
words he professed to her were genuine or fake.
"He was caring, loving, understanding and was
everything that a lady would want and at a point
I felt I had found my Mr. Right. But on second
thought and analyzing our conversations and his
deeds, I realised that he was in because of my
fame and worth," she said.
"I immediately stepped aside as I wasn't ready
for a heartbreak and don't like men who take
advantage of women," she added.
Touching on other issues, Christabel said she
doesn't believe in the myth that has been
created around celebrities that their
relationships do not last as she confidently and
repeatedly made it clear that such relationships
can work depending on the individual and she
does not have a problem marrying a celebrity
even though she's one and is aware of the
circumstances surrounding such relationships
especially with regards to making time for it.
In an answer to how hers would be different
from Yvonne Nelson/Iyanya, Nadia Buari/
Michael Essien, Okyeame Kwame and Nana Ama
McBrown etc. she said a relationship has to be
liberal, understanding and sacrificial.
"I will make sure I know him beyond his
celebrity lifestyle. I will not be in a relationship
because of his status or personality but it will be
because I love him. I will also not listen to what
people say about him because the relationship is
just for the two of us," she said.
On the other hand she would not date a man
who is insecure and is not humble.
The first runner-up of Miss Malaika 2008
contestant got her big break through in the
movie industry when she featured in 'Deadly
Passions' where she played a supporting role
with John Dumelo and Yvonne Nelson. She is
also the face of Star Assurance.
