Like her or hate her, three things are bound to endear
you to Cossy Orjiakor. They are; her friendliness,
intelligence and boldness to discuss issues affecting
her personality as well as her acting career. These
attributes played out last week when Showtime
Celebrity ran into her, and later engaged her in an
interview. Cossy bares it all, dropping the bombshell
that men are at her beck and call. She also dropped
the hint that she will be getting married next year
and many more…
We learnt that you have insured your boobs for N256
million. Is it true?
It's not true. Sometimes, some of these bloggers just
cook up stuffs that are not true. But it sounds so
interesting, that's why I didn't want to confirm
whether it's true or not. Let the story just be.
Why don't you want to talk about it?
It's because the story is a fiction. Somebody just
cooked it up. I don't know anything about it. I didn't
tell anybody I'm insuring my boobs. It's something
that somebody just cooked up somewhere. The story
didn't generate from me neither did it generate from
my Twitter handle or Instagram.
*Cossy
But do you have the intention to insure your boobs ?
I might do it, or not. But I don't want to talk about my
boobs here.
Your face have been missing on the silver screen,
have you dumped acting for music?
I'd act when I am invited, and when the pay is
considerable. I wouldn't be put under pressure. At
least, I have done two movies this year. I can't go to
people's offices to beg for roles. When I was hungry, I
used to go to producers to beg for roles. But now, I
am no longer hungry.
Although, I am planning to come out with a TV reality
show. The show will hit the screen before the end of
February, next year. I have somebody who is helping
me to develop the concept. It is about the living
conditions of most Nigerians. I don't want to talk
much about it until it hits the screen.
Don't you think, you are being misunderstood by
your critics?
That's not my business what people think about me.
But it's my business what I think about myself. I feel
good, I'm happy, I am myself and I'm not a fake
person. Yet I have a lot of fans who love me. People
tend to pretend a lot. When you are simple and
down-to- earth, they will not want to identify with
you. I don't fake myself. Life is all about having fun,
and what is the best time for me to catch my fun
than now that I'm still young, and not when I'm old
and gone.
Are you still doing your music?
Yes, I'm still doing my music. Once in a while, I go for
private shows where I am well paid. But I have not
graced a big stage. I'm doing music for the love of it.
When you love something, it does not matter what it
take you to do it. I'm not in a hurry, one step at a
time. When I am in a mood to do music, I do it. I am
not doing music to make millions of naira or to
compete with anybody. I am doing music because of
the passion I have for it.
Are you working on any album at the moment?
I have some songs already and my video has been
released online. I featured Durella in my single.
Do you feel hurt each time, people address you as
queen of boobs?
That word was first used by BBC focus on Africa when
they described me as Queen of Boobs. I am okay with
whatever you choose to call me.
How often do you get angry?
I stock my house with food stuff. So, each time I'm
angry, I keep on eating and eating until I get
satisfied.
Is Cossy in love?
Now or before?
Both now and before?
At the moment, I have a lot of people that love me.
I'd fall in love. But when I dating someone, I hate to
make it a public affair. I can't even take a picture
with my man in public. But I can take pictures with
my fans. Anybody you see me pose for a shot is my
fan. I wouldn't even agree to share the same table
with my man at a function. This, for me, is a way of
avoiding people raising eyebrows.
Are you saying that you are not in love at the
moment?
I don't know! Anyway, I will be getting married come
next year.
You mean, you are getting married for real?
A woman get married when she is ready to get
married. I will get married next year or I will make a
baby next year.
Who is the lucky man?
I don't know.
What stands out among other celebrities?
I don't know, everybody is made in the image of God.
What do you do when you are not on set, or
performing?
Anything that makes me happy. Whatever I want I
get it. If I want a man, I can always get him. In fact,
men are the cheapest thing to get in life. I have a lot
of admirers. I can always get one if I so wish. When a
man say hi! And you reply him, you can always woo
him to yourself if you like.
Are women not cheap too?
A woman will run after you because of what she will
gain from you.
How many passes do you get per each passing day
from men basis?
If I'm in a mood to chat with a man, I do it
wholeheartedly. But you will hardly see me in the
company of a man. I don't want to give away myself
or make public exhibition of my relationship. I prefer
to pay hide and seek game.
Will the man in your life agree to your terms?
I don't know what you mean by the man in my life.
But the one I know will not like to make it public.
Do you always feel noticed or shy each time you
attend a social gathering?
Each time, I attend a function, I don't even feel that
people are looking at me. I will just catch my fun, but
whereby I'm not catching any fan, I will quickly leave
the place.
What's you kind of man?
It depends on what I want at a particular time. But I
like well built young men with flat tummies. I can
take pictures with them.
Have you been embarrassed before in connection
with your boobs?
I don't even give room for such things. Nobody can
walk up to me to do any nonsense. You dare not try
it. My boobs are real, full and fresh. When you see
good things, you appreciate them. But don't dare to
touch them. You know what is good. When I'm old
and my boobs are not firm any more, I will cover
them.
Is your boobs your greatest gift from God?
I don't know, life is the greatest gift.
What's the difference between now and when you
first joined Nollywood?
I'm older now and more wiser than when I first
ventured into acting. Then I used to dance for
Obisere's band, and there was this beautiful album I
was doing with them, before tongue started wagging
that I shouldn't be dancing for Obisere because of my
academic qualification.
That was how I abandoned the band. But right now, I
am older, I will return fire-for-fire to anybody that will
make me feel bad at any point in time. I don't keep
people with negative thoughts around me. I mingle
with people with positive minds.
Would you say life has been fair to you?
I'm living a life I have always imagined for myself. I
live well. God has been kind to me. I live in a
beautiful home. I have a dog and more over, I eat
whatever I want to eat. I get massaged whenever I
need it. Each time, I need to be massaged, I always
call up a friend who helps me out.
You love dogs a lot?
I have three dogs as pets. I call them different
names. One is called Caesar while the other is called
Gabriel and so on.
It was rumoured sometime ago that you made love to
a dog?
Have you watched the movie. If you have not
watched it then you have no right to ask me anything
about the movie.
I watched it mid-way!
Was I naked or not? When you make love to your
wife, do you go naked or you put on your clothes? So,
if I wasn't naked that's means I wasn't making love
to the dog. For me to make love to the dog, I should
be naked.
If you have the chance to come back to life, would
you still want to be Cossy?
I love myself, my boobs and my voice. My friensd told
me that my voice sounds very sexy. I also have this
smile of a baby. God has been so kind to me. At least,
I live in my own house in Lekki. I eat anything I want
to eat, and I don't seek for attention, I drive a posh
car. What else can I ask for? A husband or a baby?
