Her impeccable interpretation of the role got many fans curious about just how different she really is from the godmother character she played in the crime show.

In her words, Okujaye had this to say:

"On a scale of 1-10, I am about a three when you compare me to the character I played. Enakhe was crazy, I am simple."

On what she expects from the RHOAbuja, she had this to say:

"I expect to be extremely entertained. I know a few of the amazing ladies in it so I know it's definitely going to be drama but at the same time, I'm expecting a depth of realness, and some social issues addressed. When you have powerful women gathered in a room, we have to take advantage to have some very powerful conversations. So, I hope to see that as well as the entertainment factor."
