“Acting as a ritualist in movies doesn’t make me one” – Kanayo O Kanayo

Nollywood actor, Kanayo O kanayo, who is popular for his role as a ritualist in movies has corrected the impression many people have about him.

The thespian rrevealed he has had to deal with negative comments on social media because of his role in movies.

However, the veteran actor in a exclusive interview with Saturday Beats revealed that the negative comments no longer bother him.

In his words,

“Many of our youths are not focused and they see the social media as a place to get back at some people.

“The most unfortunate thing is that they abuse the privilege they have. Even people who cannot speak before one now think they have the opportunity to rubbish one. However, those things don’t affect me because if one has got to a particular stage in life, there are people one should not respond to.

“Whenever anybody posts a comment that I don’t consider to be ‘worthy’, I go to the person’s page to check who they are following and who is following them. Imagine getting to such a page and finding out that the person has only five followers but is following over 10,000 people. Many of these people are irresponsible and their stock-in-trade is to make negative comments on social media. As for me, I don’t join issues with such people.

“Whether we like it or not, this is Africa where we respect seniority, especially when an elder or leader has not brought themselves to a point where they would be insulted. I guess some of these people were raised in places where they don’t know about cultural values.

“It is most unfortunate that even when one plays certain roles, some youths cannot distinguish between one and the character. Just because one acted as a criminal on TV, some persons see the actor as a criminal. Meanwhile, an actor has to be flexible. Acting as a ‘ritualist’ does not mean one is a ritualist in real life. Anyway, I see those who think that way as uneducated, uninformed and having complex problems. We need to redefine the word, ‘youth’, in Nigeria. Being a youth does not mean one has to be irresponsible.”

Paternity Scandal: “On no occasion did I ever tell Tunde he was not the father of our two children” – Moyo Thomas finally speaks

Moyo Thomas, a former employee of FCMB who was caught in a paternity fraud scandal with the organization’s MD, Adam Nuru has finally spoken about the matter.

According to Moyo, contrary to viral report, she never told her late husband, Tunde Thomas that he was not the father of their two children.

Recall that viral reports alleged that Moyo’s estranged husband, Tunde Thomas, died from heart attack after battling depression upon learning that the two children from their marriage were allegedly fathered by Nuhu Adams, who she was allegedly in a romantic relationship with.

The mother of two in a recently released statement revealed that she refrained from commenting on the issue to preserve memories of Tunde who died on December 16th, 2020.

Speaking further, she owned up to having a lot of differences in her marriage to Tunde, some of which led to police intervention, and has remained committed to keeping only positive memories of him.

The statement reads,

“I write in reference to all the allegations and accusations that have recently been making the rounds on the internet and various social media platforms. I have refrained from responding to this matter for various reasons, one of which is to preserve the memories of Tunde who departed to be with his maker on December 16, 2020. Memories, not only to me, but to his children, who are still young, and to everybody who had a relationship with him.

“Just like any marriage, Tunde and I had a lot of differences in our marriage, some of which even led to police intervention . But I remain committed to keeping only positive memories of him. No one can ever understand what transpired between us or what each of us experienced in the marriage; like they say, it is he who wears the shoes that knows where it pinches. In all of it, I never for once wished him bad. His untimely and sudden death is still a shock to me as it is to many others.

“On no occasion did I ever tell him he was not the father of our two children. It is therefore deliberate falsehood and certainly malicious to allege and insinuate that I informed him that the children are not his. The children still bear his name. Only God knows why he died in an untimely period. It is not in my place, or anyone’s place to play God and talk with certainty as to the cause of his death, without proven medical facts.

“Despite our separation, we never allowed our differences affect the relationships we respectively have with the children. He still had conversations with the children like any father will, up until his sudden and unfortunate death. It is quite sad and disheartening to see the pictures of these innocent children splashed all over the internet with very disparaging and weird comments.

“I do wish his family and friends the fortitude to bear the unfortunate loss and I ask that we all be allowed to grieve his loss in peace. He has now been laid to rest and we implore all and sundry to please respect our privacy and allow those grieving his loss, including the children and I, to do so in peace.”

Taking to Facebook to share his story, he wrote,

“It was in the middle of June 1996 when I was attacked by an armed robber along Branch Akaazua- Mede road, who stabbed me on my lower jaw and other parts of my body with an intention to weaken or even kill me so he could steal my bike, this happened between 4-5pm.

“I was in the pool of my blood hoping for help as the road was a bit lonely, meanwhile that devil has taken over my bike but unfortunately for him the wire that supplies current to plug removed, I saw it from the point I was standing with my bloody body but he didn’t noticed it, so he was busy kicking the bike thinking it will come alive but it didn’t, not long ago I saw a man on a Yamaha Mate 90 bike approaching the scene, little did I know that he was the angel God has sent to come and rescue me, as the bike got closer, behold, it was a known face, a man that use to visit our family house, it was Mr Samuel Akaazua also know as Akamuku, it was his arrival and the role he played that scared the thief who finally took to his heels.

“The man on a black vest in the attached images is the person I am talking about, the man God used to save my life when I just left secondary school, few weeks ago I traced him down to his village after over 25years of that incidence, and the reason for the visit was just to tell him thank you, the purpose was to appreciate him, meanwhile,he also told me he has been asking of me too, what I thought was going to be a brief and secret visit became a semi party where almost all the village was invited, he bought drinks and we all celebrated, he was indeed so excited seen me, I was too.

“It is very important for us to remember people, who were there for us in our low moments, it is good to show appreciation, it is heavenly if you have a heart of gratitude, It does a lot for you, angbian vesen Samuel Akaazua sir, I still owe you and God himself will reward you immensely for once saving the life of an innocent boy who is now a grown man.

“Life has a way of also bringing us together, today my immediate younger sister is married to Mr Samuel Akaazua younger brother with three kids, is God not wonderful?, Today my relationship with him is beyond that of a rescuer and the victim, but that of inlaws, we have become one family, that’s life for us.

“As we live, we must be mindful of how we relate with others, how we treat others, tomorrow is longer than yesterday and today put together, we must always be willing to help or assist where and when we can, alu u ngu wasen ior yo, u ngu wasen ka iyol yough (if you are doing helping others,you are indirectly helping yourself). We must be good and we must always be helpful.”
