popularly know as Chika Agatha is fast becoming a
face that cannot be ignored in the movie industry,
both for her captivating figure and talent. She
recently caused an uproar when her pictures,
revealing her boobs surfaced on the internet.
Chika in this interview with showtime Celebrity,
talks about her career and Relationship.
For people who don't know you, briefly
introduce yourself?
My name is Chika Agatha Oguine even though
the media somehow has decided to throw away
my surname and just tag me Chika Agatha
When did you start acting?
I started acting in 2012. That was the year I left
school, University of Nigeria. 2012 was also my
service year too, so instead of just wasting my
time doing nothing in the Federal Ministry office
where I was posted for my primary assignment as
a youth corper, I decided to take a step forward,
come down to Lagos after to pursue my dream.
How has it been so far?
It's been so good. I can't even believe that within
two years, I have gotten to this point where people
will call in and say "I saw your movie on Dstv, I
watched you on AIT" and there was even this
soap Sons of Zebedee that was shown in the UK.
When my cousins from the UK called me, I was
like, 'Are you serious? Am I that big now?'
So, I'm in between finding how to get a balance so
my name doesn't even grow bigger than I am,
because there is going to be a big problem in my
mind if my name is bigger than me. I believe I
ought to be bigger than my name and not the
other way round. I'm trying to stay on top of
things but everything is happening so fast- it's
been God all the way
What would you say is your most
successful movie so far?
For the most successful, I can't really say because
most of the movies I've done are not even aired in
Nigeria to start with. So, the only ones they've
seen are all those commercial movies that are not
shown in the cinemas and the ones that were
done for the cinemas are not yet out. So, if you ask
my most successful movie, I can't really say for
now because all of them are not out.
What is your latest movie?
Sex on the Beach, starring myself, Moyo Lawal,
Mercy Macjoe, Sam Sunny, Ero Josh. It's in the
market right now. Every video vendor or film shop
should have the movie Sex on the Beach and
Temple of the Serpent. They're like the latest
movies in which I featured out in the market now.
I've been getting so many comments on my
facebook page and on different social platforms.
Who inspired you to go into acting?
It's just been there since my cradle days. It's
something that I just felt I'm going to end up
doing because I have always watched myself
grown in front of a mirror, looking at myself and
making some faces and all.
But then again, when I watched movies, I try to
see why this person did this and that. What was
the character? I tried to mimic those things that
they did and tried to see if I could get close to what
they've done or to see if I really did it well the way
they did it. So, it's just about me finding what I
like to do. Sometimes, when I watch a movie, I get
lost in it.
I'm not aware of my immediate environment. That
is what makes me happy. I find happiness when it
comes to art and media. I'm not talking about
acting alone but entertainment as a whole. It
makes me happy and I think whatever makes you
happy will fetch you good money.
You recently released some bikini photos
of yourself online. Where did you take
those photos?
How Linda Ikeji got my pictures, I don't know. To
tell you the truth, those pictures were from the set
of Sex on the Beach and I wasn't the only person
wearing bikini.
We had the likes of Moyo Lawal wearing bikini,
most of us were all wearing bikinis but it was just
me posted online by Linda Ikeji and I got calls
saying 'Chika, I saw your pictures on Lindaikeji' .
Some even said I paid Linda to put my pictures. I
don't know who Lindaikeji is. This is my phone,
you can check. I don't have her contact. I've not
even seen her before in my life. People even have
Lindaikeji app on their phone, I don't even have
it.
At first, I was shocked and I kept on calling my
friends, I just kept on calling people who I know
probably must have posted the pictures but all of
them said they weren't the ones.
I called my publicist and he said he wasn't the
one. It is still a mystery to me up to now, I do not
know. But whoever did that sure has done so
much good for me because at a point, I was like,
'Oh my God, this is bad press but someone told
me, my dear, there's nothing like bad press in
Nollywood'. So, I'm now beginning to adjust to it
and its okay, its fine.
Your boobs are very big, are they natural?
I've never ever dreamt of going under the knife,
whether for my boobs or for my body. I think God
has created me perfectly. I am beautiful and I
know that. I don't need to go under the knife to
enhance anything on my body. I just need to stay
in shape, keep fit and that's it. I'm good to go.
What's your bra size?
The last I checked, it was a 44DD.
Do you think your boobs assist you in
getting movie roles?
I've never heard in Nollywood where your boobs
or your physical features get you a role. There are
so many people out there who have bigger boobs
but that's not the key. This acting thing is a craft
that you always have to keep improving on.
You always have to keep in trend and keep up
with new challenges. In this business, if you have
nothing to offer, nobody would call you. It does
not matter whether you have big boobs or big
bumbum, it doesn't really matter but then again, it
is just an added advantage. But the most
important thing is to know your craft, then every
other physical value can follow.
Can you go nude in a movie?
I'm not going to go nude in our Nigerian movies
because it's not in our culture.
I mean who wants to see you in a nude movie here
and still say you're a good person? People would
have to make criticisms. Have you watched
Twelve Years a Slave? Did you see the part where
Lupita Nyong'o had to go naked when she had to
receive some lashes of the whip on her back? That
is technical directing.
She was nude but there was no clear view she was
actually nude. It was professional. If I have
someone like that who is ready to direct me in that
kind of movie and I have a team of people that are
very professional in the acting thing, Why not? I
would take a shot. I would take all my shots to be
on that set but you can't expect me to act nude in
Nigerian movies. I will not go nude, totally nude
like, no pant or bra, for any movie in Nigeria.
In a recent interview you said don't believe
in love, why?
I have come to understand that love means
different things in Nigeria. Different things make
people fall in love. It could be money, it could be
sex, it could be for companionship, it could be for
whatever reasons of which some are not really
acceptable to me. The only people who have really
shown me what love is, are my parents especially,
my dad. If it's the way Nigerians have reduced
love to buying chocolate and ice cream, I guess
everybody is in love then.
How do you deal with your male admirers?
You all know how I handle them. Since they are
in love, there are always bills there to pay so they
would have to run away.
It's not like I tell them to pay my bills though, but
I have seen that in Nigeria, the only way you can
actually chase a man out of your life is to tell him,
'I need this, I need that'.
For some who can actually give that, I don't tell
them to pay my bills, I don't give them that option
because I know they are ready to pay and all that,
but I try to let them know I am not the kind of girl
you can buy off with a gift or money. If that is the
way to have a relationship, I should have about
five now, but I am looking for something out of
the ordinary. I'm sorry if I'm asking for too much
but who am I not to.
Do you believe in vibrators?
Why do I have to get a vibrator when there are so
many able men out there? It could be helpful for
some people who do not have relationships but
seriously, Nigerian guys are very able bodied men.
Personally, I don't believe that. If you want to
have a good sex, you should have one of your
friends that you have feelings for, even if you guys
are not really dating. Believe it or not, some men
don't like to be committed to a woman and don't
believe in dating.
Instead of jumping around from one place to the
other with loads of people you don't really know,
it's safer to do it with someone you know,
someone close to you, someone you can actually
give yourself to. Not for payment of any kind or for
exchange of money.
I don't believe in that kind of thing. I mean, if a
guy walks up to me and tells me I'm going to pay
you this for doing this, it might actually even turn
me off. That's why I'm me. I don't know how
other girls do that, but sex for me shouldn't
depend on how much you can give me because I
may probably have sex with you but never come. I
mean who wants to have sex and not come? It's
really annoying.
If you have feelings for the person, how
many times can you come in a session?
It depends on how good he is, but it's not like it's
a must for me to come during sex. It depends on
how good the guy is and I just have to like you
very much for me to go down there. Most people
won't talk about this but I have to talk about it
because it's a real life situation.
I have actually started seeing someone but we're
not that serious at the moment because I'm trying
not to rush things. Here in Nigeria, people feel
that when you have sex with someone, the next
thing is to have relationship with them but it
doesn't work that way with me. If you feel like
doing it, it's better to be safe than to just go about
doing it with just anybody. When you have
someone you like, I think it's better to be safe.
What is your philosophy of life?
My philosophy of life has always been 'Live and
let live'. If I live and you live and everybody is
happy, everybody goes on smiling. Another one I
can't forget is never to regret anything. I never
regret anything that I do because I would have
done better if I knew wiser. So, I have resolved not
to regret anything I do in life. I just try to get
better in anyway I can.
What more should people expect from
you?
Let them expect a lot of mind-blowing movies
from me. For those who have not gotten a view of
my full cup size, they should sit back and relax
because much of that will be coming.
There's this thing they say that sex sells. So, even
if you're not doing anything relating to sex, it's
okay to show some few romance scenes in the
movies so it can sell the movie.
You mustn't necessarily show all your body parts
but you have to wear something sensual and
that's what movie is all about. I'm not talking
about porn here because I can never ever do porn
but sometimes you need to constructively do your
acting thing and bring it out so people can say
'Oh wow' and things like that.
