'COME AND GET ME', NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS, PRINCESS BLACK DARES MOVIE DIRECTORS

By Salisu Sayyadi, Kano/hotmanpet.blogspot.com

Call her the 'new kid on the block' if you like, but she looks more
like the gal next door who cannot help, but be very daring. What else
can one say of a damsel in her early twenties who boasts that she
isn't scared of men harassing her sexually?

Only a girl like ebony black Helen Monday Ufot can be more explicit
and frank when asked of her disposition towards sex.

According to her, it is a game that is bound to happen between two
opposite partners and that for it to make meaning; it has to be
between two consenting adults.

Ufot, who is an Akwa Ibom state born actress, is indeed an African
beauty to behold. She boasts that she's out to take what is her
rightful position in Nollywood.

Though, she's touted as the next big thing, the future nonetheless
looks bright for Princess Black,

as she is profoundly called in the
movie industry referred to as Nollywood.

The graduate of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto has
featured in a couple of films like Rampaging Silhouette released in
2012 and Princess Black in 2013.

She is currently on a movie location in Kano since she vacated for a
short break from the campus where she is a 200 level Elementary
Education student at the University of Technology, Calabar.

Ufot claims to be is a total package for the movies, nay entertainment
industry, and insists she wants to enjoy herself thoroughly before
thinking of marriage.

"I have a lot of admirers who have told me that I am an African beauty
who possesses the looks to sell the African dream. They say, I am the
next big thing in Nollywood. Don't ask me if I agree with that?"

She said her studies is what is coming between and her zeal to explode
in the make-belief trade, saying for now she is trying to cope
combining both.

Ufot started out when she registered with the Actors Guild of Nigeria
(AGN), Kano state chapter about two years ago before switching over to
the Cross River state chapter of the guild.

Expressing her views on the controversial issue of sexual harassment
on movie locations, the Thespian who believes movie directors likes
her because of big and attractive boobs and rotund buttocks disclosed
matter-of-factly that it exists in the industry.

She alleged she has been harassed severally on location by randy
colleagues, especially producers and directors. "Though, I have what
it takes to handle the opposite sex on or off location, there are
occasions that I have lost roles because I turned down approaches from
the guys."

According to her, she had to succumb at a time because she actually
had a crush on the guy, and not as a result of the harassment. The
particular director was just irresistible, and may have been the one
to harass him, but he approached me first not knowing that I liked
him."

"When I am on location, I want to exhale my talent. I only want to
exhibit my professional talent and not my sexual talent. So, get me if
you can; is what I'll tell directors or producers."

On her kind of guy? "He must be tall and handsome, but not the kinky
kind. You know what I mean", she concluded.
