With over 30 movies to her credit and still counting, Okoli who is ‘crazy’ about tattoos studied cell biology and genetics and did not set out to become a movie star. But what started as a hobby has made her the most sought after actress in tinsel town.

I don’t want to marry a poor man. Even poverty is banned in the church; why do you want me to marry a poor man? That I don’t want to marry a poor man doesn’t mean, I am seriously searching for a rich man. No. There is no human being that is poor. If a conductor can date someone that he can cater for with his income, they can manage. But if he begins to date somebody that his income cannot cater for, that will make him poor. As long as you are doing something, you are not poor. Lazy people are the ones that are poor and I don’t like lazy people.
