Eku Edewor: 'I’m co-parenting happily'

Nigerian media personality, Eku Edewor who talked about her life’s journey in an interview with Punch, disclosed that she is not married but co-parenting happily.

The media personality who also talked about venturing into acting, disclosed that the first amount she was paid for acting was about N80,000 per month. Eku Edewor who disclosed that she is not married but co-parenting happily, added that she has not been subjected to sexual harassment in the industry.

Acting
I have been acting since I was very young but I took it professionally when I was 10 years old. I started my career as a TV presenter. So many people aren’t aware that my first training was as an actor. While growing up, my dad used to watch and record a lot of movies; I think he might have stirred the interest in me because he loves films. The first amount I was paid for acting was about N80,000 per month.

Sexual harassment
I think that I don’t look very approachable because I have never experienced sexual harassment. I feel people think that if they even suggest such a thing, I might slap them. I don’t think I look like the type of person that would accept that. And no one has ever come to me to complain about such things; perhaps because I keep to myself and don’t really socialise. The closest experience I ever had was when someone called me to say that a man with a lot of money wanted to meet me. Even that wasn’t aggressive because it was just someone calling me to test the waters. And I told her that I wasn’t interested in that.

Motherhood
Motherhood has taught me that my parents tried raising me. It gave me a greater sense of myself and made me more assured. When you are in an industry where you are self-employed, you can lose faith in yourself if you don’t get a job or the opportunity you want. When I had my daughter, it really made me feel stronger because I needed to show her how to be strong and fight for her dreams.

Relationship
I am not married but I’m co-parenting happily.
