Trusted and Proved! 7 Important Ways To Keep Your Relationship Strong!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUYM16r4RfAYpEBpq8WVTClqDmfpPJyl45baMsS_KYx68iLozrJIMG4wD3bW8kzabLXHCQ5VpbYUgcj7eCmgoXnRksBOE2i6W2hkwXziw7RB-VinX4S5DUik66Zl68nD0V7QlX8ItqmRk/s1600/Cuple-holding-hands.jpg" width="321" /></div> <br /> <!-- adsense --> <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is not hard to contemplate that a lot of effort is required to make a relationship work and last and anyone who has been a part of one will completely agree. Even though most people agree that they need to add a little special something, most people really do not actually know what that special something is.<br /><br />There are plenty of things that a couple can do to strengthen their bond in ways unimaginable and all they need is some guidance. The purpose of that is exactly that, providing couples with some extremely important tips that will undoubtedly lead them down a road that depicts nothing but a prosperous and happy future with your current or future partner.<br /><br />1. Hey honey how are you?<br />A tip that most couples overlook is calling your partner in the middle of the day to simply say hello. This is a great gesture that lets the other know the you are still thinking about them, regardless of the fact that you just met each other a couple of hours ago. Do not think of this as one of those calls that is making sure that you are actually, where you are supposed to be. One of the biggest problems with people is miscommunication and not understanding the real meaning behind certain behaviors. Therefore, it is vital that couples look at certain things positively and consider them nice gestures. Maybe you can even share a nice little laugh in between the short call, because we all know how important laughter can be for our health and relationship.<br /><br />2. Communicate<br />While this may seem like a given, it’s amazing to me how little time the average couples spends communicating. Of course there is the usual chit chat and “how was your day dear?” kind of banter but getting down to the heart of it, real communication means infinitely more. If there is something that has been bothering you or an area of the relationship that is making you unhappy, simply ignoring it isn’t going to do the trick. Its best when the other person in the relationship knows these concerns so that you can work on a solution together and hopefully keep the situation from getting out of hand. Even if things are great in the relationship, spending quality time discussing more in depth topics is a way for you to channel and heighten your emotional intimacy.<br /><br />3. Make Time For You<br />Too many times in relationships, couples forget that they need their own space and end up compromising their own interests which of course leads to unhappiness down the road. Of course there is that beginning “honeymoon phase” in any relationship where it seems that nothing else matters except for the other person but…hate to be the bearer of bad news…that part fades. But like everything else in life, change isn’t always a bad thing. Relationships transition and once they do, you will find yourself missing the friends, hobbies and other activities that you may have momentarily cast aside. Rediscover these interests and a little space will not only improve your relationship but also allow you to enjoy the things that make you who you are!<br /><br />4. Complement One Another<br />It doesn’t matter if you have been together 10 weeks or 10 years, complements don’t get old. It’s all too easy to get drawn into that lull of “comfort” (which is a great place to be) but since you are not only best friends but lovers too, it’s important to take the time to make each other feel special. While many of us are quick to point out flaws, we aren’t as quick to dish out complements. Take time to tell you partner you appreciate them and help boost their strengths. Everyone enjoys feeling like they have been recognized for all the good they have done, whether this means making a wonderful romantic dinner or spending 30 extra minutes to get ready to go somewhere.<br /><br />5. Get Somewhere Together<br />There is something magical about vacation. As kids we play in the sand, frolic in the waves and go to bed exhausted and happy. It’s important to take time out from the stress of work or of raising a family and to reconnect in a new and exciting place. No matter what your budget, set money aside for a weekend getaway every now and then.<br /><br />If a relationship consists of “all work and no play,” it’s one that will have a relatively short shelf life. Yes, we are creatures of habit but this doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy a break from the routine ever now and again!<br /><br />6. Compromise<br />At last, the one thing that seems so simple but really is hard to master is the art of compromise. Nothing is harder than really believing you are right and having to give up at least part of your battle for the sake of the relationship. There is of course a time to stand up for what you believe in and accept no less than you deserve, but when it comes to maintaining a harmonious relationship, a little bit of compromise can go a long way.<br /><br />7. A little compliment goes a long way<br />And lastly, don’t be afraid to complement one another. People just don’t understand how much even a silly little compliment can boost the morale of an individual. For example, tell your man how great his handyman skills are, even if they aren’t, but make sure that you sound serious enough so that he doesn’t think that you are ridiculing him.<br /><br />Trust me, if you can make your man believe that he is unmatchable in handling that hammer or screwdriver he will not only always be willing to fix things around the house, but might actually turn into a real good handyman. These are three simple tips that most people don’t pay attention to, but can make all the difference in strengthening a relationship.</span></span>

A lot of people look at me and say ‘Boy, you are the next big thing after Bob Marley.’ It is not something I came up with, so I just had to claim it by faith.</blockquote>

'Why I’m going into politics' -Kennis St. Brown finally Reveals!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img border="0" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAamB54rY4t0Sg1zvsdcrzUd4mh8I3M0xcyA3Ia7uF8b6-sK8mfgI5reyzYjhyIAUgYL2CZkBEeRwr0z7fRwoWHU1QKQbVYKIomaiNRkXk7ZomOmaBUZ7j9tqw0QqY604w_qtaknlQvd8/s1600/kenny+saint+brown.jpg" width="400" /></div> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Kenny Saint-BrownToday, she is one of the artistes responsible for putting gospel music into the mainstream Nigerian music industry. Interestingly, KSB as she’s popularly called by her fans is stepping out for good. She has declared her intention to go into politics.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">In this interview with Showtime Celebrity, the 2010 recipient of Soundcity Music Video Awards for Best Gospel video, explains why she wants to vie for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly come 2015 and many more…</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <!-- adsense --> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">You said that you are re-channelling all your energies into re-orientating the minds of young Nigerians which are your target audience. How do you intend to accomplish this goal?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I’m still looking at my area of calling which is youth development. I have been involved in youth development programmes in the last 16 years, using our company, Kenny’s Music as a platform.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">We have helped in pioneering not just a record label, but a company which has been able to discover raw talents as it developed them to become international acts.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The likes of Tu-face Idibia, Paul Play Dairo to mention but a few are products of Kenny’s Music. We have discovered over fifty artistes and most of these artistes we made them household names. We urged them to go and convert their brands into something else that can generate wealth for them even after they have stopped doing music.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Particularly, I have the ability to discover as well as ascertain how to divert the energies of our youths, especially in the area of entertainment. Since it has added to the GDP of the country.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">What am I saying, if you have the kind of rescources that have been pumped into sports development over the years, if only 10 percent of such rescources have been pumped into the entertainment industry, things would have been different in this country.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Talking about Nigerian football for instance, the various teams we have like the Super Eagles, Under 23, Under 20, Under 17, Under 13 and before you know, we are going to have also Under 5. This indicates a system that encourages discovering of young footballers.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The likes of Odegbami, Nduka Ugbade, Jay Jay Okocha and the Kanu Nwankwos were discovered young, before they became international soccer stars. They made mega millions in pounds Sterling, but the British government did not fail to tax them heavily.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">So, if 10 percent of what we have been spending on sports were channelled into entertainment you would be sure that Nigeria would become the centre of global entertainment. At the moment, we don’t have such funds in the entertainment industry.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Yet, we have world class entertainers as we are also adding to the GDP of the nation. Don’t you think, it’s high time we begin to put structures in place.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Let’s start from the grassroots by encouraging youth development. It’s obvious now that becoming a graduate does not make one useful. Before now, they used to say that if you don’t have anything you cannot become an artist.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">But today, the story has changed. One does not need to be a rich man before becoming an artiste. Look at what MTV is doing in Africa today because of the talents that abound in Nigeria.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The truth is that there are lots of talented youths out there that don’t have the platform to showcase their talents. Oftentimes, either in the Church, or where I’m shopping, I have had to contend with these young talents who would want to give me their CDs and urged me to listen to their works so that I can help promote them.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">There are so many of them like that but after listening to them what’s the next thing to do? They cannot afford to pay for air time. In most cases, I have sent so many of them to my brother, Baba Keke.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">But it got to a point where Keke called me and said, they are too many. How many of them would I send to radio stations or individuals for assistance? But the money we need to develop these talents is in the hands of the government.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">So, how do you intend to help in the area of putting the structures in place?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I can’t work for government at the moment. So, I have to join a political party to let them know what I can do to help the youths.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">On which platform are you coming out?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I am contesting under the platform of All Progressives Congress, APC. I have been registered with APC, I’m in ward 4, ward D of Onigbongbo Local Government of Lagos. I’m very active in my ward as well as in my local government.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">You are vying for what political office?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I want to contest for the membership of Lagos State House of Assembly.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">What made you think that you can achieve all these goals?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Because it’s the legislative arm of government that make bills and laws. And Lagos State is the hub of entertainment; it’s the cosmopolitan city of Nigeria.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">It took someone that has an insight into what LAWMA could do and he got into the government and said hey, we can do this! Till date, I still marvel at what LAWMA is doing in Lagos.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">The workers keep the streets of Lagos clean. It’s same way I want to become a law maker starting with Lagos State House of Assembly. It is the youth all over the world that my heart is crying for.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Where is your constituency?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Onigbongbo Local Government in Ikeja, Lagos State is my constituency. And guess what! This is the hub of prostitution in Lagos State; Allen Avenue Junction, Opebi road and Doyin.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Why do you think that you are the right candidate to represent your people?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Actually, I have been a youth coach. Few weeks ago, I was at university of Lagos to deliver a lecture on “From Passion to Profession”, which was organised by the Lagos State government.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I was assisting the Senior Assistant to the Lagos State governor, Mr. Akim Animashaun. Recently too, we were at the College of Education, Akoka, where I taught the students on how to regenerate opportunities.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">You said that you have been very active in you ward and local government. How active are you in your ward?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">About 4-5 years ago, I was the face of education in my local government, the entertainer, as well as the ambassador of change leading the upgrading of public schools to meet up with the standard of that of private schools in my local government.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">But until recently, the number of prostitutes on Opebi -Allen axis in the last ten months have increased to over 200 percent. This burden became so heavy in my heart.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">You would see a beautiful young girl looking decent in the day time, while in the night, you would see same girl looking half-naked and you’d wonder what has happened to her over night? Isn’t somebody going to show them love and I just can’t fold my arms any more and watch things go wrong in our society.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">There’s fire on the mounting, let’s be honest, see what corruption has done to us; see what happens when budget is not meeting project. …So, it’s high time we do something.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">To be able to achieve your dreams, you need funds. How prepared are you to play the game of politics?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Well, why should I see problems and not see reasons I should be in the House of Assembly. Where there’s a will, there is a way. Because there is a will for me to help in the area of youth development in Lagos State, there will be a way out to achieve this goal.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Do you think it’s only by becoming a law maker that this particular project can be achieved?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Tell me which other way you can use government money, if democracy is government of the people by the people and for the people, how will the people benefit from the funds belonging to them? Tell me if there’s any other way because if I start an NGO now, you know how people have bastardized NGO’s. You should know that am not hungry. I told someone recently that everything that people have on their lips as prayer points, God has blessed me with. Tell me what is the prayer point now, if I have two cars, is it not only one car that I will drive? If I have a whole house, is it not one bed that I will sleep on? God has blessed me with a son and daughter. I have three degrees and I’m the CEO of my company, KSB International Consulting Company. I’m the vice president of Kennis Music. So, if people want to be famous thank God, I am famous at least for the last 16 years. I have become a household name. So, you can see that I’m a proud beneficiary of these factors in Nigeria. These are some of the benefits that Nigeria has offered me and it’s time for me to help government to transform the country.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Why did you choose APC as your party?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">If you see what APC as a party has done in the states where they are controlling, you would be amazed. If you are familiar with how beautiful Lagos State is at the moment, then take a ride to Ogun State where APC is currently in control, and see the massive change that has taken place there. May be, you need to travel to Ibadan, Oyo State and behold the massive changes that have taken place in the city of Ibadan. Or better still, you travel to Osun State and behold what Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is doing in that state. APC signature is change; especially in the south-west. They have done so well in propagating change not just in the environment but also, in education, infrastructure, health, efficiency and many others. So, they are the team I want to work with for now.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">What kind of change would you bring about when you eventually become a law maker in Lagos State?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Now, we are talking about funding, revenue and expenditure. You can’t take it away from the fact that Lagos State has about 57 LCDs and the federal government is funding only 27, according to their records. I am not trying to speak for governor Fashola right now, but the truth is that there is so much demand in respect of the amount of money the state is getting from the federation account. I am saying it would get to a point where the federal government would be able to recognise the great work that the Lagos State government is doing with the LCDA that they are not funding. The state government is using the little amount it’s generating internally to fund the other Local Governments.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Being a celebrated music star, are you going to dump music for politics?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">I can’t stop singing. Singing is my nature, music is my life. Give me a stage now and I will kill the stage,. I will get you up and get you dancing. It’s a ministry; I am actually the youth pastor in my church, and every Sunday morning, I’m there. I am a professional person, I can’t say because of this I can’t do that. I’m never an idle person and again, I easily get bored doing one thing.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">According to Karl Max, “religion is the opium of the people.”</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">Vanguard</span>

Some years back, a pregnant woman had a rival who wanted to marry her husband at all cost.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This rival went diabolical to make sure the pregnant woman, my mother, did not give birth to me. And after staying 18months in my mother’s womb, they made some findings and it was revealed that my mother had to beg this rival for me to come to life.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Getting to my mother’s rival, she said they had to look for a goanna. Goanna is an animal called Aworinwo in Yoruba language but typical Yorubas call Goanna ‘Antar’. So, they used the Antar or goanna to make concoction for my mother. After some hours, I came to life and my mother decided to name me ‘Antar’ after the animal.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What was your father’s reaction to you being named after an animal ?<br />My father loved the name. After all, my mother didn’t know he was loved by another woman and the woman could come out to say she was the cause of my mother’s trouble.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Would you say acting has made you a fulfilled person?<br />Yes, but not in terms of money. I enjoy and derive pleasure in what I am doing and God has been good to me in my choice of career.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Money wise, I am not close to the target. Many people see me on screen and believe this man is making it big but when I consider what I have in my pocket , I know Antar is poor (laughs).</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How then do you intend to make money?<br />Well, if I get good investors who are willing to pump money into my projects and I am given money equal to the strength I pour into directing and acting films, then the money will come.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How long have you been acting?<br />I started acting at age 15, right from my secondary school days, but I started professionally in June 18, 1980 when I met Ben Tomoloju who was then a journalist.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He predicted I was going to do well and better in acting rather than as a soldier, which I earlier wanted to be. Again , all thanks to my principal, late now, and Ben Tomoloju, still living. Whenever I get an award, I dedicate it to him.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Who are your contemporaries in the film industry?<br />Sola Fosudo, Richard Mofe Damijo, Nobert Young, Yinka Quadri, Taiwo Hassan and others. Though most of them are older in age, but these are my people.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why did you dump English movies for the Yoruba ones?<br />I didn’t dump English movies, I just did something for Afriwood . It is only that you go where you are invited.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Would you say not being invited like before could be traced to tribalism ?<br />Partially yes, at first, I saw it as marginalisation but when I started directing Super Story, Wale Adenuga and myself allowed anybody, be it Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa in as much as you are good in the act to be part of the soap. This went a long way to kill tribalism or marginalisation in the industry.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What is your take on the dominance of the English speaking sector in Nollywood?<br />I don’t agree to that but maybe because they are well paid which gives the chance to do more publicity. The more noise you make, the bigger your fame. Also, we have more Igbos in the English sector and they are known for helping one another. That is a tradition the Yorubas lack.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Do you think the English actors are making more money than the Yorubas ?<br />In the past, yes, but not anymore. But if truly they are making more money than the Yorubas, I wish to be invited to confirm that . The market is very competitive at the moment.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Which is more rewarding; being a producer, director, or an actor?<br />It depends on what the individual wants. If you want money, producer. If what you want is fame, go for acting and if you want to be fulfilled artistically, then choose directing.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How do you handle female fans?<br />I have a cordial relationship with my fans. I make sure a fan feels appreciated. I could go as far as parking my car to greet a fan or even a hug if needed.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Has your wife ever been intimidated by your popularity and advances from female friends?<br />No, my wife is a very strong woman and I appreciate her a lot. But there was a day I was in the car with her and a woman blew me a kiss from a commercial bus. While doing that she nearly fell off the bus.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My wife laughed and alarmed at the same time that the woman would fall off. My wife is understanding, she would even tell me if I didn’t make a romance scene look real. So these days, I do them well without holding back, knowing I have an understanding wife.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Was there any point you ever regretted choosing acting as a career?<br />Yes, there was a time my wife was to undergo an operation to have our child and I couldn’t be there with her because of my job.I just signed the papers and left because my director, Andy Amenechi, was waiting on set, the film was “Strange woman” and there was no phone to even know how she was faring.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got to the hospital around 2am and thank God, mother and child were okay. Also, even as the first child, I was not there to bury my father when he died because I was on set and the show must continue. These are times I feel sad about the shortcomings attached to my choice of career.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is always trouble in Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners ANTP, why?<br />Everything is calm now but recently somebody I mean Ashaolu was declared a winner of an election that didn’t take place. That was the reason for the last crisis. People felt cheated as this was the reason Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners of Nigeria TAMPAN was created. Funny enough,most people that are members of TAMPAN are also members of ANTP.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What measures are to be taken to prevent things like this?<br />People should learn to do things in the right manner. I mean constitutionally.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Would you agree that Nollywood is promoting pornography and indecent dressing among our youths?<br />I will only agree when you say a part of Nollywood. For indigenous actors, we emphasize on movies that promote our culture, religion , tradition and our type of society.</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will not do a movie I know parents will not want their kids to see. But I know some of our girls are going wild. We must all fight against pornography and indecent dressing in our society.</span></span></div>
