Actress Christiana Awuni has expressed dissatisfaction with the treatment of the movie industry by Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP government.

In an interview on UTV, she claimed that Nana Addo and his administration have not fulfilled their commitments to the movie industry.

Madam Awuni voiced her concerns about Nana Addo’s failure to honor his promises to filmmakers in the country and his refusal to sign a bill that was crucial for them.

Consequently, Christiana Awuni is urging Ghanaians to vote for John Mahama in the 2024 elections.

“The movie stars, alongside the NDC and John Dramani Mahama, are calling for votes against Akufo-Addo and his administration due to financial mismanagement.

“Many sectors are not functioning properly. Nana promised to build a film village but did not deliver. We presented a bill to him, which he refused to sign,” she stated.

“We protested in parliament, but our pleas fell on deaf ears. The film industry is consistently overlooked during budget readings, and we have felt neglected for a long time,” she added.

“Should we trust someone who couldn’t ensure a safe journey as a driver, let alone as a mate [Bawumia]? We refuse to do so and instead opt to liberate ourselves, allowing the real driver [Mahama] to guide us to safety,” Christiana Awuni concluded.

Renowned Nollywood producer and actress Funke Akindele is not only making waves in the film industry but also inspiring women across Nigeria to pursue financial independence and mental wellness. In a candid interview with Nigeria’s Arise TV, Akindele highlighted the critical role of entrepreneurship in empowering women, regardless of their circumstances.

Akindele, known for her hit films and series, passionately argued against the traditional notion that women must rely on men for financial success. She spotlighted successful female entrepreneurs like Folorunsho Alakija as examples of what women can achieve on their own. “Who says women can’t make money?” she challenged. “You don’t have to rely on a man to make it.”

Her advice extended beyond financial independence; she urged young women to focus on their own goals and avoid the pitfalls of envy and overspending. “Whatever you have, just start something. Move. Don’t wait for the big opportunity. Even if it’s petty business, just start something,” Akindele encouraged.

Drawing from her own experiences, Akindele shared anecdotes about her humble beginnings, illustrating that self-belief and resourcefulness are key. “I used to buy my handbags from ‘bend down select.’ I would wash and iron them and slay with them. Even with the cheap bags, I still felt good. Just believe in yourself,” she recounted.

Furthermore, Akindele emphasized the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences and maintaining mental wellness. She warned against the negative impact of toxic people and harmful content. “Content that would drive you crazy, people that would say things that would upset you, toxic people—avoid them. Because you’re growing in a new space. It’s what you feed yourself with that matters,” she advised.

In a society where women often face societal pressure to conform to traditional roles, Akindele’s message is a powerful reminder of the importance of financial and mental self-sufficiency. Her words resonate deeply, encouraging women to carve out their own paths and build their futures with confidence and resilience.

Popular Nigerian actor and pastor, Yul Edochie, has raised alarm over alleged threats to the life of his second wife, Judy Austin, and their two children.

In a recent social media post, the actor claimed that faceless individuals have been bullying and harassing his fans, friends, and business associates online, even posting his home address and threatening his family.

The actor, who has been in the spotlight recently due to his controversial second marriage, stated that he has reported the matter to the police and is offering a one million naira reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.

Edochie’s marriage to Judy Austin sparked significant controversy and criticism from fans and the public alike. Despite the backlash, Edochie has continued to share his personal life on social media, including live videos and a mini-reality show featuring his family.

In his Instagram post, Edochie expressed his outrage: “I heard a group of jobless and foolish people formed a WhatsApp group and social media pages, and they’re using them to threaten my fans, friends, and business associates. Bullying is unacceptable to me or anyone else. I have reported the matter to the police. If anyone calls or texts you to threaten you, please record the call, copy the number and text, and send it to me so I can forward it to the police for tracking them.

“I heard they went as far as posting my house address on their platform and threatening to hurt my children and kill Judy. They have crossed the line. You cannot sit in your house and tell another person how to live their life. God punish all of you. I will get you all.

“I’m offering N1 million and more to anyone who can provide helpful information about them to aid their arrest.”

Edochie urged anyone receiving threatening calls or texts to record and forward the communication to him, so he could assist the police in tracking down the perpetrators.

“To all my fans and friends all over the world, please assist me in apprehending these psychos. I thank you all for your love and support. God bless you. Cyberbullying is unacceptable.”
