Why I Don't Do Epic Movies Because of My Claws - Empress Njamah

Nigerian actress Empress Njamah has taken a step back from acting since when she started. These days, Empress still acts from time to time, but most of her time is now dedicated to her business. During a new interview with The New Telegraph, Empress Njamah opened up about where she has been all this time, why she's dedicating more time to business now, her claws, and being a freak. She had a lot to say so without further ado, let's get into it!

During the interview, Empress Njamah was asked "What have you been up to?" to which she responded:

As you already know I have House of Empress Boutique based in Abuja. I have a spa. I have a saloon. And I’ve been working on so many things, my brands. My free times I do one or two movies. You see one thing with the movie, it’s always there. But what people don’t understand is that we also need a lot to fall back on. And then it’s not easy to start something like that and you just let it be. You have to work hard to see it grow. So far it is standing. I have a branch in Abuja. I also have another one in Wuse 2. So I’m coming to Lagos sometime soon. Lagos is clustered for me but it’s not an excuse. I’m still working on Lagos. I still need a lot of people to psyche me on that because it’s one place that I want to do this thing but there’s a of competition in Lagos. So, I’m actually taking my time? But I have loads of customers in Lagos that I bring stuff for more than every other place. But basically I love Abuja right now.”

"What’s your favorite fashion item?"

I can’t do without a lip gloss. I’m a hair person but I don’t go out of my way. But the thing I know I do that’s not the regular thing is that I wear like five people's hair at the same time. Over the years it has been my style. My hair has to be very full. And I can’t do without my claws. That’s why I don’t do epic movies. My nails, I call them claws. I can’t do without them. There was a time people were criticising me for not doing epic movies because I have the body for epic movie.

"If you must do an epic movie can’t you take them off?"

I can’t remove my claws. I can’t. My nail is me.

"How do you eat Eba with them?"

I eat Amala with them. I eat anything. I told you I’m an African woman, leave the nails. I can’t function without them but maybe with time like my publicist will say maybe when I have my baby.

"How long have you being wearing your claws? And what made you to start wearing them? "

Over 10 years. The first time I fixed my nails, they were acrylic and they were long for a character movie. After the movie it wasn’t easy to say I wanted to take them off, so being with the nails for over a week brought me into it.

"What other fashion fetish to you have?"

Oh I’m a freak. I have a shrine. I’m not kidding. You can ask like two or three people that know me; I have over three hundred perfumes. I wear masculine perfumes. I love strong perfume because they always have an after smell. And I’m not particular about the designers. I’m particular about smell. And I can never wear one perfume. I wear like three, four perfumes at a time so you definitely don’t know. I’m that bad I can tell what someone is wearing, if you are wearing a known perfume. Perfume is me.

What do you think about what Empress Njamah said? And what do you think about her decision to give up her nails even for a movie role? Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment either below or on my Jide Okonjo Facebook post.
