Though she studied Mass Communication, the passion for Make-up artistry has always been running in her. This influenced her decision to delve into Make-up artistry after graduation. She was trained at the Unveil Institute, Lagos. This boisterous and amiable lady talks to Azuka Ogujiuba of <a href="http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/doris-onyema-beautiful-boisterous-amiable/169681/" style="color: #ab2422; text-decoration: none;">ThisDay</a> about her Passion.

When I was in school, I spent my pastime making up for my female friends in the hostel. And I won the hearts of most of my female friends with <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: dotted !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static;">my little</span> make up skills. This prompted me to enroll at Unveil Institute in Lagos. So, after I graduated from Unveil Institute, I was employed by Bunmi Oyeniyi as a makeup instructor after which I was made to head the Institute.</div>

Working for Unveil Institute was very challenging and it helped to develop and sharpen my skills. But most of all, I was able to carve a niche for myself and create my own <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: dotted !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static;">identity</span>.<o:p></o:p></div>

After I finished my training as a makeup artist at unveil, I went back to my salon in Ogun State. I had a salon school and I combine my salon with my makeup artistry. My boss later called me for a job in Lagos and when I met her, she told me to work for her and that it would help build my <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: dotted !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static;">career in</span> the makeup industry. So, I went back to school and thought deeply about it and few months later I started working for unveil. I worked for her for a year and six months after which I quit the job to set up my own make up company called Beauty Switch. That is when I realized that there was something else out there for me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">
<b>What makes your own work unique and how did you develop your own style.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">
I found out that my work was unique when people started telling me. At first, I was surprised but then everyone said the same thing, I became convinced. I did not realize I had a style until people pointed out a common denominator with my images. It’s funny when people start with their craft and say what their style is. Others ended up telling me what style they saw .<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">

Then, I sat back and looked. I ended up realizing later what my style was. Before hand, I made the conscious decision not to look at the makeup that others did. I did not want to sub-consciously have someone else’s work in my head. I think that as an artist, it really helped my work and style grow into my own. Sometimes my photographer, ‘Di Act Photographer’ will show me a reference on what he wanted, but I will ask questions to find out the basis for the elements he wanted and make it my own. What makes me unique is the way my makeup jobs transform my clients, because I must not make my clients look like a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: dotted !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; color: rgb(0, 153, 0) !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static;">drama queen</span> before I’m a makeup artist.<o:p></o:p></div>

In a recent interview with Punch NG, legendary Nigerian artiste King Sunny Ade talked about his music, growing up as a child, the industry and much more.<br />

Excerpts from the interview below.<br />

<br />
<strong>A lot of people might find it very difficult to believe that you are 67 with your looks; what is the magic?</strong><br />

There is no magic; I just find myself like this. It’s true people 
tell me that I don’t look my age and whenever they say so, I get back 
home and look at myself in the mirror. But within myself, I know I am 
old. Truth is, I don’t have any magic than to give God the glory for a 
good health.<br />

<br />
<strong>Before some artistes go on stage, they either drink some 
stuff or smoke to be able to perform very well. What do you depend on 
that makes you do what you do on stage</strong>?<br />

Let me just put it this way that I am just lucky. I don’t drink and I
 don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs and I don’t like people who do drugs. 
Even within my band, ordinary cigarette smoking irritates me; I don’t 
like it. I believe that music on its own is enough to make me high 
because I love doing it with passion. I don’t need any drug to make me 
high on stage. I am addicted to music without necessarily taking 
anything to make me high.<br />

<br />
<strong>What was your dream as a young boy?</strong><br />

When I was young, I wanted to be an engineer and at the same time, I 
wanted to be a lawyer. At another time, I wanted to be a doctor. In 
fact, there was no time I wanted to be a musician because being born 
into royalty, it was unthinkable to think that way. But I loved music; I
 loved dancing and people who danced. I loved to dance to any kind of 
music.<br />

Then as a young boy of seven or eight, I used to pray for branded 
vans promoting new products like Michelin, to come to my community where
 I could listen to music and watch people dance. At times, I would just 
join to dance and people would be clapping for me. I would forget myself
 so much until one relative came along to pull my ears or beat me for 
dancing around.<br />

So, when I realised that nobody in the family wanted me to dance or 
watch those who danced or played music, it did not occur to me to wish 
to become a musician. I thought I would be a good lawyer because nobody 
won me over in any argument. At the same time too, I thought I would be 
an engineer because then, you would find me at any refuse dump where I 
would be looking for used wire and batteries which I coupled together to
 produce light.<br />

Then I would like to know what was doing the talking in the radio and
 people thought I would end up as an engineer. I learnt carpentry and 
painting.<br />

<br />
<strong>How? What of school?</strong><br />

I was going to school but anytime I closed, I went to the carpentry 
workshop to learn. During holidays too, I was always at the workshop 
working. Again, I had a brother who repaired motorcycles and his shop 
was beside where I was learning carpentry. I more or less was learning 
so many things at the same time.<br />

<br />
<strong>But why did your parents take you to the carpentry workshop to learn even when you were schooling?</strong><br />

No, it was on my own. I was very bright at school because the little I
 could read was enough for me to pass. Once I did my homework, I would 
dash across to the workshop and learn. Despite this, I never failed in 
school except once when my teacher intentionally failed me. I reported 
him to the headmaster and the teacher was sacked. We were 39 in class 
and the teacher said I came 14th instead of being in the first three.<br />

Even at that, how could I be said to have failed in the 14th position
 out of 39? It looked very strange to me and I walked into the 
headmaster’s office and reported the teacher. After reporting the man, 
the headmaster told me not to tell anybody and that he knew what to do. I
 just discovered that I didn’t see the teacher again; it was later that I
 learnt that the teacher had been sacked.<br />

<br />
<strong>But as a bright boy, why didn’t you proceed to the university?</strong><br />

<strong></strong> That was my dream and intention. You know, I lost 
my father when I was young and I loved my mum so much that I thought it 
would be a burden for her to continue to fund my education alone with 
that of my siblings. So, out of pity for her, I decided to be doing 
something to help rather than depending on her to cater for me. When I 
was still very young in school, my mother who used to weave aso oke 
always gave me new cloth for my school uniform every term with different
 designs.<br />

I joined the Boys Brigade and during the holidays, we used to go to 
the white people’s home like the DO (District Officer) for any job and 
sometimes, they would dash us some money. I used to go to the farm to 
look for bamboo to make cages for the birds that I caught. I would then 
give out the birds together with the cage and asked to be given anything
 in exchange.<br />

I wanted to go to the university; in fact when I ran to Lagos from 
Abeokuta, my people back home thought I was in the University of Lagos. 
When I was leaving Abeokuta for Lagos, I actually told some colleagues 
that I was going to Lagos to try my luck but that if my family asked of 
me, they should tell them that I gained admission to University of 
Lagos.<br />

For almost three years, my family thought I was in the university in 
Lagos. It was not until I formed my own group that an uncle came and 
asked me whether I was actually Sunny Ade. I said yes and he said how 
come; what happened to your university education? I said well, I had to 
take to music when I could no longer pay myself through school.<br />

He almost slapped me, accusing me of lying to the family that I was 
in school. Then I now made him to sit down and explained to him and he 
understood and promised to tell the family what I was actually doing. My
 family didn’t approve of what I was doing for almost 15 years until I 
really made the name. They found it difficult to know that I was 
actually Sunny Ade instead of Sunday Adeniyi.<br />

Again in those days, they could only hear you on the radio; the 
television then, WNTV was very competitive for everyone to be featured. 
My mother insisted that I must go to school instead of playing music. 
She asked me how I wanted my father to feel in the grave that his son 
was only good enough to sing instead of being a lawyer or an engineer as
 the case may be.<br />

<br />
<strong>Why are you so close to almost all Yoruba obas? Is it because of being from a royal family?</strong><br />

I believe God gave me that and till now, I still don’t know why they 
all love me. I am the son of all the obas and I respect them because 
obas are born. As a Yoruba boy and being a royal blood, one must know 
how to behave in their presence. Whenever I go to the Oba of Benin, he 
is always the one that beckons to me to come closer to him. He would say
 but I knew him as a permanent secretary, so why keeping a distance and I
 would say that was when he was just a prince.<br />

<br />
<strong>When you and Onyeka Onwenu did a song, Wait for me, there was a rumour that you two had an affair…</strong><br />

That was the gimmick we used for that particular record to be widely 
accepted. Because the collaboration was very unusual, people were 
thinking we were dating but we were not. People were thinking we were 
getting married until the record came out. Onyeka is a very good friend 
and an energetic musician. The song was sponsored by Hopkins University 
in Maryland, USA and we even went there to collect the award together.

In a recent interview with HipHopWorld, singer Chidinma declare that 
she’d pick Hypertek singer Dammy Krane over other industry young bloods 
like Davido or Wizkid.<br />
Excerpts from her interview below.<br />
<br />
<strong>If you must, who would you date amongst Iyanya, Wizkid, Dammykrane and Davido.</strong><br />
Iyanya
 has the body. Davido has the money, Wizkid is the Starboy, DammyKrane 
is a sweet, cute guy. I’ll probably go with DammyKrane.<br />
<br />
<strong>What’s up with you and DammyKrane.</strong><br />
Dammy
 Krane is my friend, he is everybody’s friend, and he’s funny and crazy.
 Before I shot the Video, I had a lot of options to play my love 
interest in the Video but I didn’t like any. Then someone said there was
 this new guy and then they played his song and I liked it. Sometime 
later, we were at Cool FM and I spotted him jumping about and being very
 playful. He was so energetic; I liked him instantly and wanted him as 
my love interest in the video. So my manager called him up, he was so 
nice, he came over, we talked and he told me the day we were going to 
shoot the Video was his birthday. Then I got scared that he might not 
make it. Unfortunately, on the day of the shoot, he got robbed that 
morning but he still made it to the shoot and then left after his part. 
We’ve been friends ever since<br />
<br />
<strong>Your Lovey-dovey Picture with Phyno went viral</strong><br />
It
 did! Less than 20 minutes after we put up the picture on Instagram, it 
just went crazy and we were not even in Lagos; we were in Abuja. We went
 for the Hennessy Artistry and we were at the airport before we went to 
the hotel, so we were just taking pictures then before we knew it, it 
was everywhere. It was kind of funny because we were just two people 
sitting somewhere and making the industry talk.<br />

Watch Rita tell Toolz if she wasn't acting, she would have been an actress.. yes, Rita says she can't imagine herself doing anything else apart from acting.

Then that she doesn't talk about her personal life because some years ago, she was in this relationship that became public, and the press killed it! The relationship didn't work out because of the press cos they put a lot of pressure on it.

Then she goes on to talk about her second relationship that lasted for 4 years, they almost got married, then they broke up.
She got into another relationship, it lasted a year then they broke up again. That was when she now decided to pour her passion into producing great movies.
