Who is Oge indiana?
Oge Indiana is an actress, dancer/model from Anambra State, Nigeria.
What is your full name(s)and why indiana?how did the name come about?
My full names are Onyeonwu Oge Indiana. Well, when I was much younger, I was a huge fan of Aishwarya Rai she is my role model. She is a model and an Bollywood actress, I have always watched her movies noticed their glamourous lifestyle in their movies and also their dance moves. Not also forgotten the fact that she has a great personality, she was once miss india and also most beautiful girl in the world and presently a brand ambassador for several charity organization. Nevertheless I went disturbing my mum who usually travels to India for business. She bought some Indian things for me cause she noticed I love Indian things. Thereafter, I started dressing like them so my friends started calling me Indiana and that is how the name Indiana came about. In addition to that believe in everything you do in life there is always someone one step ahead of you, so be steadfast and work harder cause rising to the top has different meanings to different people.

Briefly describe your and academics.
I had my high school education at Negbenegbor International School Benin City, finished with a degree in BA that is Bachelors of Art (Theatre Arts) from University of Benin. Yeah that's it so far. I definately have the plans of furthering my education to the next level.
How was growing up as a kid what were your theatrical influences?
I would say growing up, had the good stuff an average kid would have wanted. Always participated in sports like football, race and high jump and did them so well lol, there was no question about my skills. Eventually I stopped participating in sports after my secondary education because I was conscious about my looks I did not want to have a masculine look. On the other side, I listened to music too the likes of Whitney Houston and Micheal Jackson.
When did Acting, Modelling/Dancing become a part of your life?
During my primary/secondary education I had the privilege of learning some musical instrument as part of my music curriculum and also my parents encouraged me. Then my secondary education I always found interest when I see people dancing on the screen cause I also wanted to learn hiphop dance,so participated in arts and cultural day and danced for my house which was (red house) and did so well, so I decided to take it up as a career. As for modelling found myself always catworking and watching modelling events so I picked up fast knowing fully well that am very creative. Then acting came along side which was an inborn talent, cause use to stay on my own and act with myself. So when I was done with secondary education, my Dad asked me what course am going to study then I told him Theatre Arts he said that is good that is my field, of which my Dad is a Proffessor.
So far what movies and modelling jobs have u done? mention a few.
Would say I have been featured in movies like Lord of the Underworld, Street War, Treasure Island. Soap Operas like Sunita and Broadway. For Modelling jobs I have been on billboards, press and prints for Malta Guiness, I have done calendar jobs for UAC foods, also did a TV commercial for Visaphone Blackberry, I graced the Runway at Mtn link night and presently I emerged as the winner of Miss Amvictorios Super Model Contest.

It is very important that an actress/model should possess these top 3 skills.
1. Self confidence
2. Originality and
3. Adaptation into roles,character and outfit.
What do you like to do for fun outside your career?
I like going on a boat cruise, spending time with my loved ones, watching movies and football.
Are you currently working on any project?
Yes I am but can't be disclosed.
Are you presently on a contract for Amvictorious?
Certainly am on that contract now.
What are your long term goals in the entertainment industry?
After establishing my name as a public figure that is an actress in the industry, intend building a team, it may take time, but the pieces will eventually be put in place. I intend taking Nollywood to the next level whereby Bollywood and Nollywood will collaborate and do something facinating. So for me God is on d drivers seat and am the passenger, so will do my part to plan and work hard and leave the rest to him to manifest my work.
Do you have an advice for the upcoming actors/actresses, model and dancers? and those who wants to become a model?
Well, put God first in anything you do and always make sure you update yourself with skills determination is the key don't let anyone say to you that you can't make it thereby making you lose focus. There is no height you can't attain when you have the key factors which are Determination, Strong will, Hardwork and Talent. Remember Humility is very important in becoming successful.
