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, First
Weekly 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
neighbor 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.
