"Unless we halt the bleeding and find the necessary therapy, we may be heading for the final burial of the party. The party (PDP) is already comatose and we should do all we can to resuscitate the party rather than this unnecessary rancour and bulk passing. The emerging factions (in PDP) are absolutely unnecessary. The combatants must sheathe their swords and embrace dialogue. My appeal is that we should not do anything further that would damage the already-fragmented house. Everybody should come together and rebuild the party. We have gotten enough bruises. We need not inflict further pains on ourselves, with continuous bickering. Enough of this blame-game. We should return to the drawing board and need not wash our dirty linen in the public, anymore. I believe a useful lesson has been learnt from the PDP electoral misfortune. As for me, it is time to put on our thinking caps and chart a new course. I trust Senator Ekweremadu that he and his team will do a good job and unearth the remote and immediate causes of our misfortune and make recommendations that will enhance the future of the party. I have worked closely with the deputy president of the senate over the years and I know his capability and capacity to handle issues.”the statement read
Nollywood actress Susan Maxwell is known for her roles in Yoruba movies
and also for her side business as a skin care specialist.In this
interview with Nation newspaper opens up on why she bleached her skin
and why a lot of people seem to be going in that direction lately.Read
excerpts from her interview below.
On her movie career & turning to skin care: Movie making has been a
part of me since childhood. I started from my church drama group. When I
felt it was time to bring out what I had to people who know more than I
do in the field, I joined a group in my area at Ipaja. A year later, I
shot my first movie, Isawuru, in 2007, directed by Murphy Afolabi, and
that was the movie that brought me to the limelight. The marketer
approached me to do another movie and the same year we shot another
movie called Nkan to ba gba, directed by Odunlabi Adekola. Later on, I
got another vision for my skin care business which I started officially
in 2010, but started in my house in 2009, and that pulled me out of the
industry. Now this business pays me more than acting.
On her skin care business: When I started my skin care business, I
thought it was for people who needed to brighten their skin. With time, I
got clients with serious medical problems. In some cases, I’ve had to
protect myself because of the severity. Some clients came to me after
visiting several hospitals. I was their last resort and by God’s grace
they used my products and the story changed for better. This has spurred
me on. I started with a short formal training, and with personal
research and talent; I have only had positive results. Many people are
of the opinion that light-skinned ladies are more attractive, and
everything they wear shows off better and that is why I am here to help
people enhance their complexion. I used to be very dark; I never thought
I could become as fair as I am. I did it because I want to practice
what I preach. I want them to see me and be blown away, especially those
who knew me when I was dark. Because what I’m giving people isn’t
something that would damage their skin but repair their skin, I use it
on myself as well. If I wasn’t in this line of business, I probably
wouldn’t have toned my skin at all. I don’t call it bleaching. I call it
skin restoration.
On black being beautiful: In Nigeria, people believe our weather doesn’t
encourage them to maintain their dark complexions, often getting uneven
skin tones because of the harsh rays of the sun. Most people believe
when they are fair, rain or shine, they have something constant to
maintain. Most of my clients are above 18, and if they want to be white,
I give them what they want. Black is beautiful, but I have no qualms
with enhancing your complexion. 80% of Nigerian men want their women to
be fair. They want a lady that draws attention to them. I’ve worked with
many married women who complain of their men staring at fair women and
they say to me, “Susan, make me fair, I want to be attractive to my
man!” Some women have said their sons want them to visit their schools
because they want to show off their fair mother. Clients all over the
world have asked for my products. Black is beautiful but there is
nothing wrong with enhancing your complexion. Acting is my passion, skin
care is my life. Acting has helped my business because people recognise
me and are relaxed around me because they know I wouldn’t want to
tarnish my image.
On getting respect: I have tried many businesses. Clothing, hair, makeup etc but skin treatment has brought me a lot of respect.
