'No Regrets Going Into Politics' - Yul Edochie

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has said he has no regrets taking a break from the movie industry to pursue his dreams of becoming a governor. In a recent chat with Inside Nollywood, the proud father of three who has returned to acting said he is happy he made an impact as a youth in politics.

“No regrets at all. I’m happy I ventured into it and I have come to stay in politics. And I urge more Nigerian youths to come into politics.

We all need to know how our state and country is being run and make contributions. If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem. 95% of the people in Nigerian politics are there to grab money, they don’t care about giving the people good governance.

 I gained so much experience, which I couldn’t have gotten elsewhere. It brought me closer to the people and I witnessed various problems, which different communities in Anambra are facing. Through me, their voices will be heard,” he stated.

It spoke in response to the claim by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar that “for about 15 years, Buhari could not enter America on account of religious considerations”.

Acting Isn't Profitable, Uti Blows The Trumpet

Uti Nwachukwu has blown the trumpet! The model, tv host and actor says he won't even pretend acting is paying and pretend along, but he will rather be true to himself. Uti says acting doesn't pay as such and instead he prefers to stay true to his tv job and anchoring events which fetch him more. Speaking to Sunday Scoop Uti said;
“I haven’t been in the country, but I am back now. I took a break from acting because it doesn’t pay much and I am not ready for that kind of life. I don’t want to pretend about it; so, I am only focusing on what brings greater remuneration, which is television presenting and hosting of events.

“Acting would just be a hobby because honestly, producers can’t afford to pay what I want to earn. But I will not stay away from movies totally; I will pick only exceptional movies instead of featuring in all the ones I am invited to partake in. I don’t have so much time for little money. I am not here to pretend all is well. I am in the industry to make money; I am not in the industry to play.”

There were indications in Abuja on Friday that the northern caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party might not be attending the party’s national convention slated for December 9 with one voice.
