TVC E. Ifunaya Mimi Orijekwe is a Nigerian born model, scriptwriter, actress and presenter,also from a humble christain background.
A graduate of Caritas University, one of Nigeria’s finest private institution situated at the eastern part of Enugu, Mimi’s rise to stardom came in the late 2000s, after featuring in well over 10 Nollywood Epic movies as lead and supporting character.
The Nollywood actress and model, in a recent interview with Saturday beats spoke on why she doesn’t have any tattoo on her body.
Here is what she had to say concerning tattoos and body piercing.
On tattoos?
”I cannot draw anything on my body. I see my body as a Ferrari or a Bentley. You will never see anyone write things on such exotic cars. I keep my skin clean, I don’t want any tattoo on my body because I don’t need all that. I think if I inscribe something on my body, at a point, I might not want it any more so I don’t want to do something I would want to remove later in life and may not be able to”.
On extra body piercing?
”I come for a very humble Christian background. It is not like there is anything wrong with extra body piercing but I grew up knowing my mother did not have an extra piercing on her body. She is my role model and I do not want to do anything she did not do. As the only daughter in my family, my mother was and still is the only one I look up to. I learn’t how to shape my eye brows from her. She did not have an extra piercing. I copied that from her. When I was growing up and saw that my friends had multiple ears piercing, I liked it at a point but I made a decision not to indulge in it because my mother didn’t do it.”
Mimi Orjiekwe came into Nollywood in 2010 but took a break due to some problems she encountered and also to complete her National Youth Service. She returned to the industry in 2012 and has appeared in a lot of movies including UNIBEN Babes, School Hour, Mean Girls, Ghost in the Palace, and Wrong Selfie, to name a few.
