Hilda Dokubo Speaks On Acting & Why She Left Lagos

Hilda Dokubo in an interview with Yes Magazine’s publisher, Azuh Arinze has explained why she left Lagos for Rivers State and what acting has not done for her. Hilda used to be very popular some years ago in the movie industry before she delved into other things like politics, but she insists she’s still very much into acting. 

What has acting not done for you?

Acting has stolen (Laughter) my privacy. What it has not given to me is – it’s not given me the ability to be as private as I want to be. I’m a very private person, but you can’t be private when you are a celebrity and you are in the face of people all the time. People consider you a role model, people are busy setting standards for you, people are busy assuming they know what you want and all of that. 
So, it steals your privacy from you.
