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
