Uti Nwachukwu having an interesting interview with LIB, says he cannot act nude in any movie because as a man, the only thing
you can hold sacred is your p***s.
The Big Brother star said that his respect for his body stopped him from
showing off his penile area during shower hour when he was in the Big
Brother house, as he believes that the only person who deserves to see
his full nudity is the person he is sleeping with.
"Honestly if I have to do that, it will be the kind of money to put me
in a position where I don’t have to lift a finger again. There’s
something sacred about my nudity. Even at big brother when they showered
naked, I never showered naked. I always had my boxers on. If my nudity
is brought out to the public, it’ll definitely be against my will or a
situation where I was tricked.
As a man, the only thing you can hold sacred is your penis so if
everyone sees your penis, there’s no sacred thing you can hold unto.
That’s see finish and I’m not comfortable with that even with that $1B.
In the future, you’re going to have kids in the future. We have to
preserve our sense of decency and conservation. I’m not judgmental,
won’t judge anyone but I want to have something that will leave people
guessing. The only person that should see my penis is who I’m sleeping
with"

So What Has Uti Been Up to Lately?
Oh, what have I not been up to? I’ve been hosting events, walking
runways both home and abroad. I’m preparing to start shooting more
movies both home and abroad not Hollywood but African productions. It’s
not the best of years but it’s been a very good year for me.
So the recession is not hitting you?
I’m not going to lie. I won’t say I’m getting more than what I got last
year but I’ve been getting way enough to sustain my lifestyle since I’m
not frivolous and can live a comfortable to pay my bills and live a
happy and comfortable life.
As a fashion icon, do you intend flagging off a fashion brand?
I’ve always been looking forward to pushing my own label but for now,
I’d rather partner with a designer to release an Uti inspired line. To
be honest, I am extremely afraid of starting my own business in Nigeria.
I’d rather partner with someone than start my own. Respect to those who
have run successful small businesses in Nigeria because all the factors
are against you from power to the labour force and having dedicated
people to run your business like their own. I do a lot of things in
entertainment and combining all that will be difficult. I’m not ready to
give up doing what I enjoy doing to run a business. I am more of a
performer than a businessman and once I can get people trustworthy
enough to run my business and I’m sure I’ll be getting a good return on
investment, I will. I can’t handle my own business right now.
Since you model how much money will make you go nude for a shoot?
That’s not my brand.
Even for a Billion Naira?
Honestly if I have to do that, it will be the kind of money to put me in
a position where I don’t have to lift a finger again. If its a billion
dollars, obviously... No thinking of it, there’s something sacred about
my nudity. Even at big brother when they showered naked, I never
showered naked. I always had my boxers on. If my nudity is brought out
to the public, it’ll definitely be against my will or a situation where I
was tricked. Back nudity, yes, everyone has bum bum nau. As a man, the
only thing you can hold sacred is your penis so if everyone sees your
penis, there’s no sacred thing you can hold unto. That’s see finish and
I’m not comfortable with that. Even with that $1B. In the future, you’re
going to have kids in the future. We have to preserve our sense of
decency and conservation. I’m not judgmental, won’t judge anyone but I
want to have something that will leave people guessing. The only person
that should see my penis is who I’m sleeping with.
Talking about that, who are you sleeping with at the moment?
(laughs) Really, that’s like me asking you did you shave or how big is your.. I don’t kiss and tell.
Everyone is asking when Uti will get married.
Really? They are just wasting their time. They attach importance to
cultural issues. I’m pro marriage. One of my most popular articles was
on marriage. It went viral. With the response from that article I can
tell that many people are under pressure to get married. It’s not an
obligation. Even churches make it seem like without marriage, you are a
failure. That’s why they are a lot of unhappy couples.
If I do marry, it will be because I woke up and met an amazing person
and said I can spend the rest of my life with this person. Marriage
shouldn’t be dependent on age or societal expectations just like the way
you don’t care how I ate this morning. Everyone has a right of free
will. If I meet someone that makes me complete inside, I will marry. I
ask God, if you have a wife for me, divinely connect me. Give me that
confirmation in my heart. Until then, I am not even bothered. I don’t do
things when others are doing things. I graduated in 2009 my mates
graduated 2003 at the end of the day in 2010, I made x2 of all the money
they had been saving over the years while I was trying to still trying
to find myself. If you compare yourself to others, you will miss the
road God has paved for you.
Are Your Parents In Support Of This?
I come from a family of 2 boys and 4 girls and my parents never put
pressure on us. All my sisters married over the age of 30 only one
married before 30. I am single and I have one other single sister. My
married sisters have given birth and they are all 30. I am the last born
in my family. My dad never said you must marry and my mums never said
give me my grandchild before I get old.
No pressure from my family, pressure I receive is from other people
which I don’t tolerate. I analyze a few married friends and see that
they are not happy. 80% of married people are not happy. If you are
happily married, you will not be concerned about other people’s status.
What’s your relationship with Timi Dakolo? Recall that the marriage thing caused a stir between the both of you on Instagram.
Timi is my friend. If you go through me and Bryan’s timeline, we are
constantly insulting each other and laughing about it. I and Beverly
Naya have that kind of relationship. I am not a sweet sugar coating kind
of guy. We insult each other on phone it doesn’t mean we hate
eachother. It’s the same thing with Timi. All of that was just online
drama. It’s just yabbing. Timi is my guy anytime any day. I’m sure he
will laugh if he reads this.
When was the last time you took a lady out on a proper date?
That was at the AFW in London where I met a very interesting Nigerian
based girl. It was a bit awkward where we met. We met where I’d not be
interested in seeing her again but there was something very special
about her. I’m not saying we’re dating but I just decided to have a
proper sit down and eat and we genuinely talked and got to know each
other. It was fun, I felt like I was 21 again.
After the date what happened?
Distance sucks. I am not a good long distance person, once or twice, we keep in touch but the relationship will suffer.
Are you implying you’re in a long distance relationship?
No no! Just like I said, it will suffer; we are keeping in touch and
want to see where this goes. We talked for one hour last night.
Could she be the one?
We have not even spent up to two weeks physically together. There’s a
difference between talking to one over the phone and being together. I
get frustrated with people. I am not a control freak but I like things
to be done in a way that is not too inconveniencing for me.
What is your vice?
I have a little OCD (obsessed compulsive disorder), I’m a bit of a
perfectionist. I have a little patience issues with people. It is a lot
better now. I don’t tolerate inconsiderate people. At times, sharing my
space with someone, I’m not selfish I just like things doing in a way
I’m comfortable with.
Do you have any intention to go into Movie Production?
Ummh, when it's right, am not one of those people that will delve into
movie production without proper funding. I want to go into it at the
right time to direct and produce well respected movies like Obi
Emelonye, and Stephanie Okereke, who did a great job in her movie 'Dry'.
I have not been known for Mediocrity, so going into producing will be at
the right time to produce a movie with Perfect writing, Perfect
scripts, Perfect directing, Perfect locations and nice costumes.
Ever since you started hosting, who is the most difficult partner you have worked with?
Well, I think about two or three persons, not necessarily they were
boring but slow. But in terms of clash, the only person I have clashed
with is Helen Paul on Jara. Our personalities are a bit different, when
we first started working, early 2011/12, we used to clash not a lot but
maybe once a Month and later on we apologise, laugh over it and move on.
Some days, we clash on set, in-between tapes and when the Camera comes
up on us, we are like 'Welcome back to the Jara Show'. Currently, Helen
is the best presenter to work with because every time we get to work
together, off Jara set, is actually a blessing and exciting to me. I
think she's one of the best things that have happened to my career and I
love her so much, she's like the sister that I never had.
How long does it take you to get styled?
It actually depends on where am going and what I will be wearing to that
occasion, but on a norm, let's say maximum of 20 minutes.
So which actors are you looking to work with?
I don't really care. I am not looking up to work with actors. I'm
looking forward to work with directors like Desmond Elliot, Kemi
Adetiba and other good directors because those are the people that
actually make the movies. I’m way over personalities or being
star-strucked because when you meet most of them, you are either really
impressed or disappointed. With age and time, I think I have been more
disappointed at other celebrities I have met. They have lost that very
essence that makes us human, they get lost in the whole Fame thing.
Their fake lifestyle is so alarming, that you can see so clearly that
these people are not wealthy like they try to portray. The only very few
people that I have met and was impressed, that I always give shout to,
are my top Nollywood personalities from day one, Rita Dominic, Desmond
Elliot, Chidi Mokeme just to mention a few. They have had my back all
through and I respect them so very much. They are so human, very real
and down to earth.
Do you have an anger problem?
Ooops, no I don’t, am only an impatient person, like when someone acts
stupid and less expected of him or herself. I really have a problem with
unintelligent people.
I don’t understand, why someone will be unintelligent, am not talking
about book smart but life, reality and street smart, I just can’t
tolerate it.
Can you donate your semen for N20M?
I have actually thought about it, it's very interesting giving life, so
it's no big deal, If am going to make a woman and her family out there
happy, why not? I can, it’s very doable, I will consider selling my
sperm to someone that wants a child, because N20M will pay a lot of
bills for me.'
Between Yemi Alade, Seyi Shay and Simi, Who Would You Smash, Kiss and take to Mama?
Of course I’ll take Simi to mama. Simi has that home quality, she
reminds me of the kind of girls I liked in secondary school. There’s
something very cute and African about Simi.
For smashing, hmmm all of them are very "smashable". I will smash Yemi and Kiss Seyi Shay.
Haha! Don’t you think Adekunle Gold and Falz will be mad at you if you take Simi to mama?
(Laughs)... That’s why it’s a question. We are speaking hypothetically.
There are female artistes that people just love. People like Chidinma,
Simi, Tiwa. They are so sweet and you will just know that in real life,
this person will be amazing. I’ve met Simi, she’s so soft spoken, nice
and has a good personality.
