Nollywood actress turned singer, Jennifer Eliogu has revealed how she fell out with her dad when she decided to become an actress after he initially wanted her to be a lawyer.
Jennifer stated that she went into acting while she was doing her diploma in 1997 and didn’t struggle to get into the industry.
Speaking with media personality, Chude Jideonwo Jennifer said;
“He was difficult. He didn’t even want to hear it. I was already doing diploma in UniJos. My dad always wanted me to be a lawyer. He felt that I was going to be a very good lawyer. It caused a whole lot of problems and my mum was at the receiving end. He kept saying, ‘is this what you really want to do? If anything goes wrong, you will not forgive yourself.’ And I was like, ‘I’m sure, this is what I really want to do.”
It took a long time, very long time. I stopped being his girl. And you know what, I stopped going to school. He was like I’m not going to pay your school fees.”
