Sexy upcoming actress and ex-beauty queen, Peggy Enoho
Ovire talks about her life as an actress, model, fashionista and much more.
My name is Ovire Peggy Enoho. I’m a
Nollywood actress, model and fashion enterpreneur from Delta state, Urhobo
precisely. I won Miss Galaxy International Nigeria pageant in 2007 and I’m also
an ex Miss Tourism Delta. I run a fashion business, Hugs Couture.
peggy 1I joined Nollywood in 2013. So
far, I’ve done eight movies namely ‘Best of Enemies’ ‘Troubled King’,
‘Unknown’, ‘Worst of Friends’, ‘Worst Sin’ and so on. My first movie was ‘Best
of Enemies’.
My experience in the industry so far has
been fun, though I just got back from the New York Film Academy. I decided to
go into acting because I’ve always loved acting and I was given a platform to
act and I did. I got into Nollywood through a friend, a very good friend of
mine who is into acting. She’s been there for a couple of years and so she told
someone about me and that was how I started.
My first time on stage was different .It
was strange acting with people who were good at it, but I knew it was what I
wanted. I was bit on the edge, but after one scene, I felt more relaxed and
everything went well. I haven’t had any challenging role yet . I’m still
waiting for it. I have worked with top actresses like Mercy Johnson, Tonto Dike
and many others.
Basically, I just hope that the Nigerian
movie industry gets bigger and better, because we are still growing. I’ve heard
a lot about sexual harassment in Nollywood, though I haven’t witnessed it. In
Nollywood, I look up to Rita Dominic, I want to be like her. I also like Uche
Jombo.
I love the male actors in the industry,
they are very talented. As long as the actor is good, I’d want to work with
him, but that’s the limit for me, I wouldn’t date any of them.
As regards my childhood, every moment of
my life spent while growing up was beautiful and very memorable
I’m a friendly and calm person, though
sometimes I like to stay indoors, keep to myself and if I’m out, I go out with
friends, have drinks and watch movies.
Personally, I feel fashion is how you
feel and how you want to be addressed. I love fashion and people know that they
can’t catch me not getting it right. Fashion is not a display of wealth, it’s
just another way to express how you feel and how you want people to see you.
One fashion accessory I love so much is shoes.
I studied Banking and Finance at Ambrose
Alli University. I left banking for acting because I’m an entertainer. I love
the entertainment industry, I don’t want to work in a bank.
Few years from now, I hope to see myself
up there, be a better actress and be able to touch lives with what I do. I
don’t want to be the girl with the pretty face who can’t do anything. I just
want to impact in people’s lives.
Though I’m still single, I’m fine with
my male admirers. We get along, we’re friends. Even if they come with an
ulterior motive, by the time, they meet me, they change their minds because I
make everybody my friend. It has never been a problem for me.
When I want to relax, I travel. I love
to travel to see the world as much as I can. I love to watch movies too, so I
go to see movies at cinemas and most times at home. Though I don’t drink
alcohol, I go out with my friends and we just gist.
