Big Brother Naija reality show star and singer, Uriel Oputa, confidently asserted that she excels in acting, surpassing some of her contemporaries in Nollywood.

Uriel expressed her confidence in her acting abilities during a recent interview, claiming to be a very good actress and suggesting that her skills may outshine those of some actresses currently in the Nigerian film industry.

Speaking in a recent interview on Cool FM, Uriel said: “A lot of people [filmmakers] have approached me to be in movies. I get asked to be in movies all the time; in my DM, email, I get approached to be an actress.

“And I know that I’m a very good actress. I am probably better than some of the actresses in Nollywood right now. And that’s me being real. Apart from having a natural artiste instinct, I studied drama in the UK. So, I know that I’m quite a good actor.

“I’ve been approached by a lot of people to get into acting but I’ve always turned them down. The reason I turned down gigs for acting in Nigeria is because, one, you’re always going to be stereotyped into a role; two, some of the scripts are a bit too predictable; and three, they [filmmakers] don’t pay well.”
