Wel,l my husband does most of the writing. We write together sometimes. I must say he is a writer as well as a musician.

Have you ever collaborated with any other Nigerian musicians? If yes who and who?

Yes I have collaborated with a Rev father that goes by name Ejike Nwankwor. My husband initially didn’t want me to collaborate with him but to my surprise,  he changed his mind when Ejike Nwankwor spoke to him.

What will you call you brand of music?

My music is gospel. I play only gospel music and it gives me joy.

Who is the best director you have worked with?

Prince Gozie

Tell us one thing that you haven’t told the news media?

I don’t know how to dance (laughed).

Many musicians do act in movies. Have ever thought of acting?

Yes. I just did a movie titled Royalty to Royalty. It will be released in September.

Who among the known actors/actresses are in the movie?

I star alongside Nkem Owoh, Anita joseph and Gentle jack.

Is there anything this interview didn’t cover that you still want to add?

Yes.  I want to thank God for our kids. They did their first album titled "let's sing melody" by Gozie okeke junior.

I believe with GOD the father, he will excel. He sings very well and doesn't miss keys at the tender age of 7. He is Gozie junior well known in our music as Gozie nwa Amuruofuru.

Thank you Princess. Nollywooduncut wishes you all the best

Please dear Gozie Okeke try and hold her back cuz she is playing with fire before it consumes her plsssss!!!! Reply

Grace  - DISAPPOINTED!!!   |Your IP:141.0.8.xxx |2012-05-15 10:15:21 I know acting is jst make-believe. But c'mon guys, U need 2 see d way dis Lady was puffing d Cigarette in a "professiönal" manner. Everyone sees Njideka as a role model so far as morality is concerned, due to her kind of music nd watsoever she does should be in harmony 2 dat. But instead, she's tryna tel us dat her music is jst a Business-venture, nothing more- nothing less. I'm nt judging or criticizing her, but I dn't think Sis. Chinyere Udoma can display such an act of Immorality nd Ungodliness all in d name of Acting. Reply
