Lamide is tough and a smart a**!

From the minute she got into our office, Ebony Life TV - 'The Spot' host, Lamide Akintobi was immediately liked by everyone but there was something about her that made us all to also agree that she was one very serious lady!

Lamide is tough, intelligent, beautiful, focused and well... a smart ass! That's why getting into the prestigious Ebony Life Television wasn't too much of a struggle. She has what it takes!

Looking fabulous in a mixture of a yellow-ish ankara skirt and a blue chiffon top, the TV host was ready to get to the chat so she could move on to other stuff for the day.

On Her Fashion Sense:

"I dress for comfort not for style. I don't consider my self a fashionable person. I just go with whatever makes me comfortable," were the first words that came out of her mouth as she tried to accept the complement of looking fly.

On Mo Abudu:

"I'm happy with where I am and working with the team I work with is just amazing." About her famous boss, "Mo Abudu is a tough woman and very principled. She's also very talented and works round the clock and those are the things I really admire in her which inspires me too."

On 'The Spot' co-hosts; Zainab Balogun & Ebuka Obi-Uchendu:

"We're very lucky because you don't always know what the chemistry is going to be like when you start working with somebody. The Spot was co-created by Zainab and I...and we wanted something very laid back, fun and interesting."

How did Ebuka get in?

"I have to say this, we were very lucky to have Ebuka come on board and that we get along as we do because it will be very ...very hard to pull off a show like that if we don't like each other."

On Dating Rumours with Ebuka:

"Working with him is not uncomfortable at all. I usually don't answer questions regarding 'us' being tagged together."

Are You A Smart Ass?

"Its very difficult not to be yourself. So yeah, I am a smart ass"

We couldn't agree more! Watch the full interview above.
