Sharing a video of his interview with the Eastern Eye, he captioned that when a movie role requires him entering a coffin, he doesn’t sanctify himself or bind whatever forces; he just simply plays his roles and leave. He said: “God gave me a talent. When I’m playing a role in a movie that involves going into a coffin. I do not sanctify myself or start binding unseen forces. I just play my role and get out.” In the interview, he emphasized that his roles in ritual movies have nothing to do with his real-life character. Kanayo said: “I was on a set three weeks ago with a woman and she was asked to go into a coffin and before she went into the coffin, she went ‘In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit’ I said ‘don’t do that, you are mocking God. This is a job that puts food on your table. God has asked you to go and deliver his people through this so why are you praying?’” “The apostles of Jesus or disciples as you call them. Luke was a medical doctor, and the other person was a tax collector so they were from different fields, so this is what people do for a living. That is why filmmaking is called make-believe. It makes people believe you are a ritualist, you are an occultist, you are a Reverend Father, you are this. The role I play has nothing to do with me as KOK. I don’t go to church every Sunday but I know myself. “My role is what puts food on my table. when you call me Nna Anyi sacrifice, it brings traction to my name. I don’t shy away from the name, the name pays my bills, and the name signs cheques for me.” See the post below:

"Racism made me lose interest in playing James Bond role" – Actor Idris Elba

Renowned British thespian, Idris Elba, has unveiled his previous interest in portraying the iconic character of James Bond, the protagonist of the renowned British fictional franchise, until the issue of racism emerged. During his appearance as a guest on the most recent episode of the Smartless podcast, co-hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, the 50-year-old actor opened up about his thoughts on the matter. Elba confessed that the rumors surrounding his potential casting as James Bond were highly exhilarating for him. Reflecting on the situation, Elba said, “The truth is, I was super complemented for a long time about this [playing the James Bond role]. I was like, ‘This is crazy! James Bond?’ “We are all actors and we understand that role. It’s one of those coveted roles. Being asked to be James Bond was like, ‘Okay, you’ve sort of reached the pinnacle.’ That is one of those things the whole world has a vote in. “It was a huge compliment that every corner of the world, except for some corners, which we will not talk about, were really happy about the idea that I could be considered. Those that weren’t happy about the idea made the whole thing disgusting because it became about race.”

She explained, “After four years of playing this role, I always have this feeling that one day I might not be ‘Mummy wa’ anymore. So, I’m constantly brainstorming about other things I can do.” Mummy Wa and Mr Macaroni. Credit: kemz_mama / Instagram When asked about her personal life and the possibility of double dating, Mummy Wa, who was previously in a relationship with her colleague Isbae U but experienced a breakup allegedly due to physical abuse, expressed her perspective. She said, “If it’s a friendship, it’s possible. But when it comes to romantic relationships, I don’t think it’s feasible. There will always be one person who is loved more than the other. “Personally, I cannot romantically love two people simultaneously. My mind will always be focused on one person, making it difficult for me to think about someone else.” Furthermore, the skit-maker shared her thoughts on the topic of men paying for transportation expenses on dates. She stated, “I don’t believe men should pay for a date’s transportation fare. It doesn’t make sense to me. However, there are some men who may not want the lady to experience any inconvenience. “They might choose to pay as an act of chivalry or if they believe the lady doesn’t have enough money and they want to assist. If the lady is stranded, the guy can offer to cover her transportation fare. Personally, though, I wouldn’t allow a guy to pay for my transport fare on a date.”

A Nigerian mother has shared her daughter’s result slip online and the remarks from the class teacher and principal with her daughter. The mother shared the result slip which showed that her daughter failed all the subjects. However, the remarks from the class teacher and principal caught the attention of social media users.

On the result slip, the class teacher disclosed that the girl failed in all the subjects because she does not concentrate on her books but was always seen playing with a group of boys in the bush. In relation to the class teacher’s remarks, the principal of the school also advised the mother of the girl to get married. “Always playing with boys in the bush. Very lazy in all types of sports. Advised to marry”, the teacher wrote. Read some comments from social media users below. @jacob Nwose said: “She needs to take the remarks seriously. How can a child fail all subjects?” @Matthias Ugwu commented: “One of the reasons I dread having a daughter in this generation. This generation is more possessive of the female gender. You hardly see good ones these days.” @Deremie_ commented: “Please she really needs to marry.” @Dennis Okwukwe reacted: “Always playing with boys in the bush? And what did you do as a teacher?” @Pascal James added: “If my daughter returns with this she’s certainly becoming a dropout on that same day.”

I don’t think I’m playing well at Liverpool

GistReel

Liverpool player, Darwin Nunez has provided an honest assessment of his output for the club since being signed. I don’t think I’m playing well at Liverpool - Darwin Nunez It’s been expected that the 22-year-old who was signed from Benfica for £64m by Liverpool at the beginning of the season, will fill the void left by Sadio Mane. However, since arriving Anfield, Nunez has come under fire for his rash approach and, crucially, lack of a clinical edge in front of goal relative to expectations. When asked by SkySports how Liverpool’s coach, Jurgen Klopp sees him, he said; “I think he wants to see what he saw in Benfica. For example in the games I played against Liverpool [last year in the Champions League], when I performed very well. I don’t think I’m playing well at the moment, but I always want to improve. I try to improve every day. Klopp knows my strength is my speed, running into space. Also, he tells me that I need to be more calm when I’m playing, and that I need to move more. I don’t think I’m playing well at Liverpool - Darwin Nunez “He tells me that I need that, and that I am a player with a lot of quality. So, that’s more or less what he wants from me – and, of course, that I score goals. He has told me that I have to be calm in games when it comes to finishing. “He wants me to take a second longer, because if I shoot with anger, or I rush it, then it will always go badly. He asks me to take an extra second, with calmness, and I will score.” Nunez also added that he is adapting perfectly. He added; “It is a case of adapting. Adapting is important – and not only here at the club. Things have to be good on the football side, but also with your family, because if your family is OK, then you will always be OK. My family and I are good.”
