In attendance were the Actors’ Guild boss, Ibinabo Fiberesima, fellow veteran actress Bukky Ajayi, Segun Arinze, Charles Novia, amongst others.
In a quick interview with NET, Ngozi joyfully disclosed that this is the best birthday ever.
She further talked about her health, life at 50, and the future.
See excerpts below:
What must have been the best birthday that you’ve had?
I think this should be the best birthday really. Considering the circumstances and thanking God as well that I made it to 50. Yeah, this should be the best.
Did you ever think you’d make it to fifty?
Well, there was a time I thought I wouldn’t, but with God all things are possible; and I never gave up. So here I am today.
You are looking very pretty, how have you been able to get back to this good shape?
My dear, it’s God, that’s all. I just thank God that’s all.
This is Africa where people desert you when you have problems, how was your experience on this issue during your ailment.
My dear, I’d rather not talk about it. To me I am 50 and I’m enjoying it to the glory of God and all those are behind me. They are in the past of my life.
How many more years would you like to live on earth?
My dear, God should just be adding it and adding it until he says, ‘my daughter, you’ve finished your work on earth, come home.’ Then I’m ready to go.
You’ve been spotted on one or two locations, are you hale, hearty, and ready to work now?
One or two locations, no. I’ve only gone to Fuji House, and you know Fuji House I play a key role there and they’ve been waiting for me all along and they’ve run out of episodes. So I just have to be there to play a little of my part just to tell people that I’m still alive, and I’ll still be back on track. That was why I went to shot a Fuji House before I went back to England for my treatment.
But health-wise are you fully ready to get back to work?
Yes! Yes, but I still need to rest. So if at all I’m working now, yeah I will but not going back to work fully now, no.
What special gift have you received since you turned 50?
What special gift? Well, I have received the grace of God, that is the first special gift which is (second coming), my life. God has given me back my life; this is my second coming, so it’s a gift I really treasure. Then the second gift I have received again is a wonderful gift of breakfast in bed by my girlfriend in England because I’ve never received that before, and then the third is that, just live your life because nobody knows tomorrow.
You’ve seen it all, in movies and in life, what will you point to as your greatest achievement?
(Sighs) My dear, my greatest achievement is life.
What are those desires you still wish for God to grant you?
Well, what I desire that God should give me is a long lasting life, not like Methuselah o! because I don’t want to live the one that you’d be blind, you’d be crippled, and then they would be rolling you like trolley up and down, and you’d become a nuisance to the society, no! I want a life of even if I am eighty, ninety, hundred, I should be fit as a fiddle. That’s the kind of life I want, and I want to live a comfortable life.
