Hardly would you see a movie
released in Nigeria few years back without the stern-face of popular actor,
Hanks Anuku adorning the jacket of the film. His face was like an Indian
Talisman, who brings luck to movie producers in the country back then.
But that is no more the case as no
one knows if the face of Hanks Anuku can still sell even a local community film
this time around.
He was made the Special Adviser to
Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State on Tourism and Entertainment in 2010,
but he later left the job.
After that, he was in the news for
being delivered from alcohol and mental illness by Prophet TB Joshua, he later
moved to Ghana after the incident.
Some days ago, Nigeriafilms.com met
him in Ghana and he had a short interview with us, where he explained the
reason behind his relocation to the West African country.
Why did you leave Nigeria for Ghana
Yea, as you can see, I am in Ghana
now. It was a decision I made to get a few things for myself and to get closer
to God because so many things happened to me in Nigeria that I was not happy
about.
Does that mean you wouldn’t have
been closer to God if you were in Nigeria
I would always have time for anybody
and appreciate the presence of a man or woman of substance.
What do you do here presently
Apart from filmmaking, I am into the
development of grassroots’ talents in music and filmmaking.
How is that going
It has been very great.
Are Ghanaians embracing you
You know, love thy neighbour like
thyself is my tool across the Nile unto Jericho. I think everybody loves me. I
don’t know who the enemy is. So, whoever the enemy is, I am sorry, I forgive
all haters. That is what it is.
Should your fans in Nigeria be
expecting something from you soon
Well, everything depends on God. He is my
provider. If God wants me to go to Nigeria, no problem, I mean, as long as you
are serious with the job.
