![]() ![]() We have to honour this platform and do things the right way. We now have to get serious about how we approach this platform and what we bring to the table. Netflix has already done what we need from them. I have to tell you for a fact that Nollywood as a whole needs a better organisation. I think we need to organise ourselves more. So why does it seem as though the industry still struggles to meet up with the standard? Netflix has been doing really well and we all can see the results of the impact they have had on the industry. I think Netflix is doing what it ought to do. ![]() You have been part of a number of projects strongly powered by Netflix, what do you think the platform still needs to do to help the Nigerian movie industry to the next level? I just don’t want to be part of that job. Will it be right to say movie is more about the scripts for you?Ī lot of times I get some scripts that I don’t fall for at all and I don’t mean any disrespect. Once I am not on location filming, it means I am in the studio record- i n g. I know what I want to do clearly with music, it is an additional business kind of. How do you juggle the two knowing they are time consuming? It’s more of a case of an actor who doesn’t want to sit down and stay idle when he’s not on set, and goes to the studio so that things can keep happening. Acting is forever with me music is an added trait. This is for those that think I want to quit acting for music no, there is nothing like that. I can’t just pick one because the passion I have for acting is the same I have for music. I cannot say I love one more than the other. Half of the time, it is always good to do things that resonate with you and your brand because whether you like it or not, whatever you feel as an actor in the role you are playing is what the audience will feel when they see you in the movie.īetween music and movie which is your favourite? It does not mean my career will not be in the spotlight or I have to force my way into the game. Like I said, I have chosen a career path that I must follow carefully and consciously. With the newbies in the industry how do you ensure that your career keeps getting the attention it deserves? I don’t have to entertain all the jobs that come my way but I love to do what makes me happy and gives my career the lift it needs. The truth is I am only trying to make careful career choices for myself and giving the best of myself to the craft when the time is right. I wish I could show you the number of scripts I get regularly that I don’t entertain. It is just a careful career choice that I have chosen. This question cracks me really hard when you say I appear in selected movies in the industry. You appear most times in selected movies, is it that you don’t want to feature in movies or you don’t get invited to be part of movie projects? I can tell you that it was not for the money. No other reason got me attracted to the movie. Those are the ills in the movie that got me attracted to the role that I said there is nothing that will stop me from being part of this project. It is so bad that some people grow old to keep fighting even within the family. I want people to know how bad this is and why parenting can be bad when you choose a favourite among your kids. So, I felt I could speak to the people through this character. ![]() It is so deep in many homes today that people tend to cause unnecessary troubles in their homes because of this standard. This for me, is a big issue that we don’t get to talk about more often. The part that I played talks more about siblings’ rivalry which is present in all homes setting standard and wanting the kids to match them. I think the lesson in the movie is my number one take away. What do you make of this movie and how much did it change you as a man? The movie has been the talk of the town and people really commended your role and how it was interpreted. ![]()
