Nollywood Is Filled With Prostítutes – Actress Reveals

Despite her passion for acting, she has added another feather to her
cap as the publisher and the CEO of Central Star magazine. Mariam
Omolara Barake, actress, is a mother of three.

In a recent
interview, she
speaks on why she ventured into magazine production, her take on the
Association of Nigerian Theatre Practitioners (ANTP) crisis and her fashion
preferences. Excerpts:

Why I kept a low profile.
I agree with you that I kept a low profile in recent time. It was my decision
to focus on another things and I don’t have any regret that I am still in the
industry. I think it was high time for me to take such step since I had
already registered my face in the minds of my fans and it was a thing I
have been longing for years back. To me, what I am doing at present is
still part of entertainment. I now produce a magazine called ‘Central Star
magazine’. Despite all odds, the outcome is really impressive. The magazine
focuses on the entertainment industry, both up-and-coming and stars,
legends of the industry, entertainment events, behind the scenes, culture
and tradition among others.

My husband’s support.
I thank God for the kind of man He gave me. He is always ready to give a
hand to actualise my dream.  He was the person that registered my
company and came home to give me the certificate. The management of
the home front and my career has always been smooth with his assistance.
