When Daily Sun asked her about her first kiss, she screamed and replied: "l hate kissing. My present boyfriend is not finding it funny at all. But that is me."
When was your first kiss?
I can't remember my first kiss. I am 45 years old; I just can't remember my first kiss. Now, I hate kissing. I hardly kiss. I don't know why. You now see that for someone that hates kissing, you know I may not really remember my first kiss.
'It was after my A-levels. Yes, my first boyfriend wanted to kiss me. But I gave him a date to come back the following week. That my first boyfriend did not get the opportunity. We never kissed, because I kept posting him.
Who was the guy?
He should be my second boyfriend. I think, I now have a fair idea of who it was but I can't remember the kiss. We went out for a long time. He was a Ghanaian. He was a keyboardist for Osibisa; he died a couple of years ago.
How old were you both?
Then he was young, I was young too. But he was about 4 or 5 years older. I must have enjoyed it but I can't remember.
How did you feel?
Like I told you earlier, I hate kissing. Maybe my first kiss was so bad and that made me never to like kissing again. I hate the idea of saliva exchanging.
Where it occurred (she paused)
I'm trying to remember my relationship with the guy. We are talking about something that happened in 1980. God! It's a long time. The guy took me out for dinner, I was very young. After the dinner, we kissed but I didn't like it.
Recent kiss?
My boyfriend now is suffering because I don't like us kissing. When he brings his mouth, I just turn the other way. I simply don't like it. He keeps saying kiss me now! And he complains so much about that. Really, I don't know why I don't like it.
