Nollywood actress and former beauty queen, Ifeoma Nebe, is not one to mince words when it comes to setting boundaries, especially with overzealous male fans who cross the line in a bid to get her attention.
In a candid chat with Saturday Sun, the Enugu State-born actress opened up on how she navigates fame, attention, and personal peace in an industry where public visibility often blurs private lines.
According to Nebe, firmness and clarity are her guiding principles. “I’m a very direct person. I will calmly state that I have no intentions with you, and if that doesn’t work, I will block you. I do not have time to over-explain. Most messages, I don’t even open. I really hate stress especially with the stubborn male fans,” she said.
Beyond handling attention, the actress also shared a refreshing perspective on life and the year ahead. Unlike previous years where she meticulously set goals and expectations, Nebe revealed that she is embracing a different mindset for 2026.

Hear her: “I’ve decided not to set any expectations for myself regarding 2026. Every year, I write down resolutions, expectations and goals, but this time, I’m going in blind. Whatever I see, I deal with, and whatever comes, I thank God. I want to allow life to play out peacefully. Maybe 2026 will surprise me in every beautiful way possible.”
The reigning diva also used the opportunity to speak directly to young people, offering advice rooted in faith, patience, and self-discovery. She stressed the importance of building a personal relationship with God, beyond inherited beliefs or routine religious practices.
“People need to experience God for themselves. Not the experience our parents or Sunday services give, but a personal one. If you do, you’ll understand that everything in life has its season, and that simplifies life,” she added.
Reflecting on her own journey, Nebe noted that growth sometimes requires starting over. “I had to relearn everything from the beginning again. Read books on life, have scheduled dates with God. The minute you decide to let go and allow Him to take control, you’ll be shocked at the boundaries you’ll break.”
She also cautioned against unnecessary pressure and comparison, urging patience and inner peace. “Never be in a rush to accomplish everything. You need patience, faith, and a lot of peace within you,” she advised.
Ending on a note of quiet confidence, Nebe referenced a popular Igbo proverb that continues to guide her outlook on life and ambition: Onye kwe, chi ya ekwe—“If you agree, your God will agree.”
