With the many complaints of producers harassing actresses in Nollywood, Jennifer has revealed that it is only those who are begging for roles that suffer such mishaps. In a recent interview, she explained how she came into the movie industry.

“My career started when a friend in Kaduna invited me for an advert that fitted my brief. When I got there, I discovered that it was an MTN advert. I was picked for the job. At the end of the day, I was paid N300, 000. That really made me to consider taking up a career in acting.”
Jennifer said about harassment , “I believe that men harass ladies who don't know their onions, and beg for roles. But I would rather audition and get my role on merit, than beg or do anything stupid.”

Then added “I cannot date a fellow artiste. I like to respect my work environment. I wouldn't want any conflict of interests when it concerns my job. My ideal man is a man who respects and loves his woman. A man who is ready to tell you the truth no matter what it would cost him. Of course, he must have a sense of humour, and be romantic, because I love to laugh. That is my ideal man.”
