Your banging bods may help you get a man
but won’t necessarily keep him. Popular Nollywood actress, Dakore
Akande, keeps it real in Blanck Digital magazine’s “Body Issue”
Nollywood actress, Dakore Akande, has
been unveiled as the coverstar of Blanck Digital magazine’s latest issue
titled “The Body Issue” , and the mother-of-2 looked so fit and
fabulous on the cover.
The screen goddess in the interview with
Rae Ogbu, talked about keeping her body in shape, the fact that having a
banging body alone is not enough to keep a man, loving her body but
wanting bigger boobs and more.
Below are excerpts from the chat:
On getting her body back after pregnancy:
I used to be very self-conscious but I’m
more accepting of myself and my body in general now that I’m older. I
will also add that I have more confidence now, simply because I chose to
work on the areas of my body I wasn’t happy about; which is something I
would always tell anyone who cares to listen. Do you! Right now, I do
very little work these days; it’s all about maintaining it and living my
best and healthier life.
On her natural confidence:
Knowing I was going to be on the cover and sharing my fitness experience gave me the extra motivation so thank you.
I also loved the theme of the shoot and the opportunity I have to show people that becoming a mother and a wife doesn’t mean you should lose touch with your body image especially if it’s important to you as a person.
On if you need a banging body to keep a man:
You could have a banging body and a
terrible personality. Your banging bods may help you get a man but won’t
necessarily keep him. I want to believe that the general driver to look
your best is usually for yourself; all other reasons are secondary.
On loving her body:
I love the fact that by God’s grace I
have come to appreciate the strength of a woman. Being pregnant and
bringing two precious angels into this world is not an easy task. After
my first child I wasn’t happy with the weight I gained but I was
determined and I did it! So to see myself go through those changes and
come back fitter and stronger is something that makes me marvel at our
capacity as women. Without sounding totally vain I love my arms and bum
but I wish I had slightly bigger boobs.
On her fitness challenge:
Sticking to eating right is incredibly
hard because I have a chronic sweet tooth. Why does everything that
tastes good have to be bad? However, I stay very mindful of what I eat.
Lots of fruit and veggies, whole grains for sure and when I do fall off
the wagon by succumbing to my said sweet tooth I cut back on other days
so it’s definitely a struggle. I would also chip in that I’m a Yoga
addict. Mainly because it not only strengthens the body but the mind.
