How do you feel that Wura blew up?
It feels amazing. This is the biggest project I’ve ever done, and having to see people appreciate me for that is amazing. People started calling me Wura and I accepted it, because it’s an amazing project. The only part that bothers me is that people think I’m like my character in real life, I see people crossing to the other side of the road when they see me and I have to tell them that I am not wicked.

I’m excited about what the future holds. Showmax’s platform has been given to me and it’s left for me to do what I feel I can do with it. So far, I thank God. The journey has been amazing. I’ve been getting more productions, more endorsements and others.

Are you going to take this kind of role in the future?
In fact, for me, the more challenging it is, the bigger the kick I get from it. So, yes, I would definitely would. It’s gruesome, it’s tasking, it’s blood, sweat and tears, but I’ll do it again.

Tell us some of the sacrifices you made for the project
I had to stay away from my husband for 11 months even though he still found a way to see me in the location; it was gruesome and for that period, I stepped out of the compound just twice. So, mentally, and physically, it took a toll on me. I had to do therapy after the whole process.

Which of the scenes intrigue you?
Dimeji finding out that Jamal is not his son.

Was the money good?
I am praying that there will be season 3. They are taking care of me. In fact, this is the most I’ve been paid.

Is there anything you would like to change?
If I could change anything, I want Showmax to give fans more episodes.

How are the fans reacting?
The fans are committed and watch Wura religiously; some go back to previous episodes to watch over and over again. I got a lot of threats. I got a message that I must not come to Ikorodu. I think it got to a point and the person couldn’t take it anymore and that was the only way the person could ease his pain about my role.
