Regarding her dedication to cultivating a more fulfilling life, Nlewedim remarked, “I think reality shows are getting better; from the cash prices which are now interestingly bigger to every other thing. There was time for me to do a lot of acting, brand deals, and invest the money I have made into a business.

“So, I am not relying on entertainment industry money because there is more money from business out there. And then I am doing entertainment as a hobby now and it’s making me fall back in love with it because I am not doing it under pressure anymore.”
