"Yes, a man bought me my Range Rover" - Ruth Kadiri

In an interview with Vanguard, Nollywood actress and producer, Ruth Kadiri addressed reports that a man bought her Range Rover by confirming it, adding that contrary to what many said, she didn't flaunt the Range on social media. She also talked about growing up in the slum of Ajegunle with big dreams, and many more.

"I didn't flaunt it. I am not that kind of person. Go on my Instagram page, you will not find it there. It was just a presumption from a blogger. Apparently, it turned out to be true that I bought a Range Rover. But I didn't post it on Instagram."

Asked if her boy friend bought her the Range Rover...

"Yes, the person who bought it is just my friend. Somebody I have known for a long time."

On if she's in a relationship...

"Yes"

Any marriage plans?

"Hopefully, we will get there by the grace of God"

Who is your ideal man?

"Every woman wants a good man. I want somebody who respects me.As a child I have always known what I wanted. In my room, I have a write up that when I turn 18, I would rent my own apartment .My dad saw it and was like “Where are you going at 18 years? I told him, my plans to get my own apartment and start making money for myself. He laughed it off. I think that decision helped me to cultivate the desire to be independent, and do it the right way.

"Growing up as a child in Ajegunle, it’s either you get lost or it helps you find your way. Right now, there are so many mistakes I can’t make. I see many ladies misbehave. If I am able to overcome it at childhood, I can’t start doing it now. Growing up in the slum, helped me to discover myself. It’s either you are defined or you are not."

On if she's ever been abused in a relationship...

"No, but there are certain things I cannot take. For example, I can’t stand watching my man receive a call from his ex. I can’t take that."

About the female lecturer who made sexual advances at her...

"It happened. At first, she took a lot of interest in me. The first time I went to write an examination, she saw me came close to me and asked me what I was writing. She knew the days I don’t come to school and even my scores. Then one day, I think I missed her test and went to her office. I was sitting across her like this and then she just moved her leg and started touching my laps. I just moved backwards and left."
