VANESSA KOKO [ ENGAGED OR NOT ]

Recently, SwitTv took a trip, all the way to Lekki in Lagos for one distinctive reason; to hook up with one of Nollywood's finest and talented actress

Vanessa Koko.
You may know her as Udeme, owing to the role she played as wife to veteran actor Ime Bishop in movie titled 'Okon Lagos".
It was a pretty short visit, but we sure were glad to have been there. Most especially because we got entertain. SIMPLE! Lots of food to go around, and lots of drinks too.

However, without wasting your time, here is the interview with Vanessa Koko.

SWITTV
HEY VANESSA, WITHOUT WASTING MUCH OF YOUR TIME, CAN YOU PLEASE THROW MORE LIGHT INTO SOME OF YOUR RECENT PROJECTS?

VANESSA
WELL, IM CURRENTLY WORKING ON A WEB/TV SERIES SOON TO HIT THE BIG SCREEN. I'M ALSO WORKING ON VARIOUS FEATURE FILMS AT THE MOMENT WITH SOME OF NOLLYWOOD'S FINEST DIRECTORS.

SWITTV
DO YOU MIND TELLING US INDEPTH? LIKE GIVING US THE NAME OF THE TV PROGRAMME OR FEATURE FILMS THAT YOU ARE PRESENTLY INVOLVED IN?

VANESSA
I WOULD RATHER NOT SAY, AND ALLOW YOU TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF WHEN IT HITS THE CINEMAS AND ALL. YOU SEE I'VE BEEN MOVING FROM LOCATION TO LOCATION, STARRING IN VARIOUS MOVIES/PROJECTS, I HAVE EVEN LOST COUNT. THAT'S WHY I SAID AS SOON AS IT HITS THE BIG SCREEN, YOU WILL FIND OUT FOR YOURSELVES OR WHEN THE DVDS ARE RELEASED.

SWITTV
THE RING ON YOUR FINGER, WHAT DOES IT SIGNIFY?

VANESSA
LOL... CAN WE JUST SKIP THAT QUESTION TO ANOTHER TIME? LIKE I KEEP TELLING EVERY MEDIA WHO HAS INTERVIEWED ME, I WOULD RATHER KEEP MY PERSONAL LIFE OUT OF THE WAY FOR NOW. I DON'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT UP IN VARIOUS PROPAGANDAS AND ALL. MY RING, MY BUSINESS... LOL.

SWITTV
SO WE HEARD YOU DOING A PROJECT WITH SWIT SUMMER PRODUCTIONS INTERNATIONAL. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT?

VANESSA
YEAH NOW THAT YOU MENTIONED IT, I'M GOING TO BE ON SET WITH THE ENTIRE SWIT SUMMER CREW SOMETIMES NEXT WEEK TO COMMENCE AND COMPLETE A NEW FEATURE FILM TITLED .... LOL... YOU KNOW I WON'T SAY THE TITLE UNTIL IT COMES OUT.....

SWITTV
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PEOPLE, WHO USE OTHER PEOPLE'S AUDITION NOTIFICATIONS TO SCAM UP AND COMING ACTORS, ASKING THEM TO PAY MONEY BEFORE THEY ARE GIVEN ROLES.

VANESSA
I THINK ITS CRAZY. I THINK ITS LOW. I THINK ITS UN-NICE FOR SOMEONE TO TRY TO PLAY A FAST ONE ON UPCOMING ACTORS.

TRUE TALENT CANNOT BE HIDDEN, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO LOCK IT AWAY, IT WILL EVENTUALLY SHOW UP... AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE STILL PRACTICING THAT ACT, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM IT AND DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.
ALSO ON THE OTHER HAND, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO JOIN PRODUCTION HOUSES, GET REGISTERED WITH THEM, AND GO FOR TRAINING FREQUENTLY. SO THAT WHEN A NEW PROJECT COMES UP FROM YOUR PRODUCTION HOUSE, YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY SHORTLISTED FOR IT IF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH.

SWITTV
OK THANKS FOR YOUR TIME ONCE AGAIN DEAR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANY LAST WORDS TO ANYONE OUT THERE?

VANESSA
YEAH, A BIG SHOUT OUT TO JOHN CHUKWUDI, WHO CELEBRATED HIS BIRTHDAY ON THE 15TH OF SEPTEMBER 2015... HAPPY

BIRTHDAY ONCE AGAIN, YOU ARE A DARLING... AND YEAH TO MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FANS... I WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT... AS YOU KEEP SUPPORTING ME, I'LL KEEP FLYING THE FLAG HIGH.
