'I regret exposing my body earlier in my career' - Toyin Aimakhu

Actress Toyin Aimakhu-Johnson who recently signed her first endorsement deal, says she regrets exposing her body earlier in her career. Speaking with Encomium mag, the actress said changing her image and dress sense has changed her fortune...and partially blamed her old ways of dressing as the reason she didn't get any endorsement deals until now....
"I have learnt my lesson. People don't like those who expose their bodies in public. Celebrities can do it abroad but it is alien to our own culture. I was young and carefree and had nobody to caution me. It took my husband to enlighten me and make me see my mistakes. He helped me to realize I am a role model and have influence on my fans. I have realized these things now and it has helped me to have mature and quality fans who now show more interest in my personality and works. I now encourage other people. Ever since then, my fortune has changed. I now have quality jobs and offers. I want to model my life after Omotola and Joke Sylvia whom I see as my role model" she said

You didn't get any endorsement deals because, ur not a celebrity, ur ugly and fat and ur nose is huge.

I hate it when ignorant nigerians use that line 'alien to our culture' what is nigerian culture? Killing of twins, abducting girls, no electricity, etc

That's a lesson for young and upcoming actress, exposing your anatomy doesn't win the heart of the public, its doesn't fetch you anything positive

You couldn't have said it any better. Celebrities are people of exceptional character and not just entertainers.

Why is she just realizing it now, I found it hard to believe no one cautioned her in the early age of her carrier. She should have simply said they cautioned her but she kibitzed Well, kudos to her husband, it takes a real man to opine all that. I'm glad she's leant. Keep your head up girl bigger and better offers are coming. Hope your fellows learn from this. I mean people like MAHEEDA, COSSY, etc.

David (dave_gino) said...

One of the few thoughts that first came to my mind whilst I was reading this. A raining day is coming for Tiwa and co too...Tiwas husband can't caution her but encourages her to do more, guess that how they like it. As long as BIS remains N1500 or cheaper, My eyes are on a loop for Mr(s)TJ

David (dave_gino) said...

Old picture, not the new leaf please.

David (dave_gino) said...

Very correct. Watched her being interviewed, OMG, she was so open. So real. No lies, no hyping, so truthful to herself...earned my respect. And I have so much love her since that day too.

Anony 5:29 you are not any less ignorant yourself. When did no electricity become a culture thing? Pls go back to a good school and learn right. If you go to UK and spray money in parties its alien to the british culture cause they have a conservative culture. We have a modest culture here in Nigeria in terms of dressing and most of what we have adopted as youths are alien to our culture, so she is right. Bussiness are willing to associate with celebrities and icons with good image that help improve their marketing and overall public perception.No biz wants to be linked with bad publicity E.g the Tiger Wood endorsement case.
