Describing stinginess as a major deal-breaker, Ella added, “One thing I cannot deal with is stinginess. Honestly, if you’re stingy, we probably can’t even be friends, let alone date. I’m naturally generous, so I appreciate someone with the same spirit. Kindness is attractive. Emotional intelligence is attractive. A man with purpose and vision is incredibly attractive.”
The actress also spoke about maintaining her values in Nollywood, saying she has set clear boundaries for herself and will never accept nude roles, regardless of the financial reward.
“I have personal values and boundaries that I won’t compromise. You will never see me taking nude roles or appearing naked in a movie, regardless of the amount of money involved. I believe it’s possible to deliver an outstanding performance without compromising my principles,” she stated.
