My boobs are my assests

Elizabeth Anjorin popularly called Lizzy has been an actress for more than nine years with notable movies to her credit.
A graduate of the Olabisi Onabanjo University where she bagged a degree in Transport Management, Lizzy speaks on the challenges of being an actress in Nigeria and how  she has survived to make her mark.
Excerpts;
With Godfatherism in the industry, how have you survived to make your mark?
Well, it’s very simple. When you go to Rome, act like a Roman.  Godfatherism is  killing the industry but if you want to succeed, you must follow the rules of the game.
I joined the Abeokuta caucus because it was close to my school and was less competitive.
The industry is getting bigger by the day and the strong ones are swallowing up the weaker ones.
I have succeeded in carving a niche for myself because  joining the caucus helped me a lot.
The caucus thing has become a melting point for anybody that wants to survive in the industry.
You look beautiful and healthy, what is your secret?
Nothing o! I just eat well and do what I am supposed to do at the right time. It’s simply the evidence of good living. I give glory to God in heaven for my refreshing outlook.
You have spent only a few years in the industry, yet you have a larger than life image. How did you do it?
I came into acting nine years ago and it was through a friend of mine, Seyi Ariyo (She baby).  I’d followed her to a location and before I knew it, my career in acting started off in earnest.
I cannot explain how it happened, but I must say that God has been very good to me. It was very rough when I started especially as a student. It wasn’t easy.
The stress of combining studies and acting roles was something else.
I have become a big girl as you rightly pointed out because I stepped up my game. I decided to feature in more movies and it’s really helping me. The industry is not for kids or dreamers. It’s simply for the strong and the bold. But to crown it all, the lord has been very good to me.
You shot and premiered a movie of yours Gold…
“Gold” as you know is precious and people tend to appreciate it very much.
Women are like Gold and therefore should be respected.
The story focuses  more on the  gender equality.   They are not supposed to be treated like animals. The womenfolk  should be respected and adored.
The film recorded a huge success and today I have new projects coming up. And anytime from now, I should be releasing another film into the market.
