Nollywood actress Ini Edo has opened up on her past relationship with now close friend, Uche Jombo.
Accordng to Ini Edo, before becoming Jumbo’s best friend, she hated her at first.
Ini Edo spoke during a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
Sharing their first encounter, Ini Edo disclosed that Uche Jombo hated her at first because she thought she was rude and disrespectful.
According to her, the first time they met on a movie set, Uche Jombo flipped as she said that she (Ini) refused to greet anyone on set upon her arrival.
Ini Edo said; “Uche [Jombo] and I started off as not friends. She thought I was so rude. She thought I was so rude, that I was doing too much. She was like “What is she feeling like?” Like, I kept them on set for days. The first time we ever worked together, apparently she had been hearing my name, “Oh that new girl”, “oh she’s all over the place, all the producers are using her now so she’s like it girl”, you know, that is already making her feel like “what is she feeling like, mschewww”.
And then I now came late. I kept them like how many days on set. So eventually, according to her, I walked into the set and I did not say hello to her. So she was really upset with me. She hated me, apparently.
So eventually, I think, I don’t know how that wall got broken. I’m a sweetheart anyway, so you can hate me from afar but you can’t hate me when you know me, that’s just what it is.
So you know, I think eventually we got talking and I think we shared a drink. She didn’t waste time telling me “You, you no dey greet person abi? You no know say I no be your mate!” [laughs].
I think that’s how the ice was broken, and she’s been an amazing person to me. I think it’s mutual respect and real love for each other. There’s just really nothing but friendship more than just love and respect. Once you have that for each other, it’s not like you guys won’t have issues or you won’t step on each other’s toes, but once that mutual respect is there and that real love is there, we can communicate cuz I like to talk, so we can talk through everything.”
