I feel offended when younger men woo me–Empress Njamah

Though Empress Njamah is still single , she says she is not short of admirers , whether young or old . According to the actress , she usually feels awkward whenever a younger man shows interest in her so she tries to avoid that .

She told Sunday Scoop , “A lot of men in their twenties say they admire me and want to date me . I am sure most of them think I am really young . Sometimes , I find it annoying because if they know my actual age , they wouldn ’ t come close or show interest in me .

“ When people say I look like a lady in her twenties , I just smile . I am actually in my thirties. When people ask me what I do to look the way I do , I struggle to give an answer . I guess it is just the grace of God because I don ’ t do anything special . ”

On her plans for 2018 , she said she would rather allow things to happen naturally , adding that she had never been comfortable about revealing her plans to the public.

“ For people who know me well , I don ’ t talk too much. I believe actions speak louder than words and that has been my approach to life .

“ I am satisfied with all that I achieved last year . I am also an entrepreneur. I have a boutique where I sell ladies’ wear and accessories . I wouldn ’ t be honest if I say there are no challenges, but I thank God for the strength to overcome them . ”
