Speaking to Sunday scoop about being shy and reserved, she said: “I am aware that people think I am a snob, but I am actually a shy person. My job demands that I should abandon who I am. It used to be even worse for me because I went to a single-s3x school; so, relating to guys was difficult for me. However, I am adjusting now because of acting. When you meet me newly, the first impression you get is that I am cold. But I am only trying to protect myself from people I don’t know."
Further more, the Lara and the beat actress also opened up about being allergic to smoking. Although, she can enjoy a glass of drink, occasionally, Chioma would rather stay way completely, especially because it commands a certain behaviour which she describes as improper in public.

Talking on how her family background has also affected most of her behaviour, she said: "The way my mother raised us, especially as her first daughter, there was no way I would have lived a wayward life. My late mother would have been a solider if she didn’t have a job. In Igboland, they pay so much attention to the first daughter because she must be an example to the younger ones."
"Also, I am allergic to smoke and many other things. I act stupidly whenever I am high, which is not good for someone like me in public because I like to conduct myself well. I had friends who questioned why I did not smoke or drink but if you know who you are, you wouldn’t succumb to peer pressure. However, I am not saying the fact that I don’t smoke or drink makes me an extraordinary being.”
