Afrocandy, real name Judith Opara-Mazagwu, talks
about her obsession with séxually éxplicit movies
and her latest work, Destructive Instinct, in an online
interview with JULIET BUMAH
Any special reason you chose the name,
AfroCandy?
I chose the name because guys call me 'Eye Candy'.
And I figured, if I'm an eye candy and I'm African, I
should be an AfroCandy.
Did you do a boób job or are your bréasts
natural?
No, I did not do any bóob job. My bóobs are all mine,
naturally made and given to me by my creator.
Why did you go into pórnographic movies?
I'm not into pornógraphy. I'll say this over and over.
The fact that I chose to make romance and séx
scenes in my movies real should not make me a pórn
star. Now tell me, would you call the actors that play
assassin and killer roles in movies murderers
because they play such roles? Why are eyebrows
being raised over this my movie? Or, is it because it
has to do with séx, which is supposed to be a way of
life? I find that to be séxist honestly. You can call me
daring, brave, bold and beautiful. And I will like you
to tell me what you call movies like 'Basic Instinct, 'I
spit on your grave' and the likes of them. And I'll also
like you to tell me what you may call actors like
Sharon Stone, Halley Berry and co for taking similar
roles in those movies before I can answer you
directly.
Is there a market for pórnographic movies in
Nigeria?
Yes, there's definitely a big market for my kind of
movies in Nigeria and Africa as a whole, judging from
the responses, requests and orders I have received so
far. You already know your people, they will criticise
in public but go behind to buy it and hide in their
bedrooms to watch it. I'm not worried about the
censors board, we got that locked down.
Have you settled issues with the guy who
acted in your movie, 'Destructive Instinct,' and
wanted to pull out?
Yes, we have settled the matter and are moving on.
What was the contract like?
I wouldn't want to go into the details; but the bottom
line is, the case has been closed and we are on to the
next one.
Was the guy aware that he was going to
feature in a pórn movie?
Yes he was. And again, not a pórn movie, but he
knew he was going to get nakéd in the movie and he
willingly did it.
Why did he want to pull out?
It's a long story and I think I already addressed that
already in one of my interviews.
How do you deal with advances from men?
I don't deal with that at all.
What is your impression about gays?
My impression about them is, they are mostly adults,
they know what is right and what is wrong and
choose to do what is best for them. I guess they know
what they want and what they want to do with their
lives. So it's normal.
Would you act in a gay movie?
Yes, I will. Matter of fact, I have a script for that and I
guess that doesn't make me gay now, right?
Which part of your body turns guys on the
most?
Ha ha ha…thats'a very funny question, but how
would I even know that? I guess you should conduct
a wide search for that and maybe ask the guys for
that.
Uche Ogbodo has reportedly turned down your
offer to feature in a pórn movie. Who will you
invite to replace her?
I never even spoke to her yet, only made an
announcement for an up and coming production. But
I have worked with bigger and better actors and will
always do; so that's not important now.
How many films have you acted in and
produced so far?
As many as possible.
Where are you from? What is your educational
background?
I am from Imo State in Nigeria. As per education, I am
a graduate with two associate degrees in office
administration and computer science; a Bachelor's
degree in business management and a graduate in
medical billing and coding. I'm also getting ready to
go back to school to study law.
Have Cossy Orjiakor and Anita Joseph accepted
your offer?
I wouldn't like to disclose that, but I'll keep you
posted.
How do your daughters feel about your roles in
pórn movies?
I may be their mother because I brought them into
the world. I may have the privilege to raise them up
to adult age. But you know, I cannot tell them what
to do or follow at a certain age. Besides, they are
Americans who have their own minds. If they
graduate from college and decide to follow my
footsteps, it's their own calling. If I can predict, they
wouldn't want to do what I do because they have
better opportunities and better futures than mine. All
I do now is to secure a better future for them so they
don't have to go through what I went through in my
life time. Mind you, I tell my daughters everything I
do. I even told them about this project, the nature of
it, but I could not show them because they are not up
to 18 yet. I just had to prepare them in case they run
into it on the Internet, they won't be shocked. So
don't worry about my daughters, they are the best
children any mother could ever ask for and I thank
God for the gift.
