Grace” as an undergraduate at University of Calabar has declared that she would
never settle down with a fellow thespian because she likes to save her drama
for the big screen.
“I cannot befriend or marry an actor
because of my kind of person. I am a very emotional person. I don’t need any
drama at home, only on screen. I am human and I have feelings too. I wonder the
kind of future I’m going to have with my male colleague,” she said. According

run after the actresses, the actresses themselves would run after them,” she
