Fifty-one years old Nollywood
actress and evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi revealed that her new life in Christ
does not stop her from acting some movie roles.
The movie icon, who said
she repented 19 years ago, told the Sun she will accept any movie roles given
to her anytime, including the role of a prostitute.
The Imo state-born said,
“While you are seeing me as a movie legend, all the years you have been seeing
‘act all the actable’. I am still acting because I have not left my talent.
This is my own definition of being born again.
Born again means you have realised and discovered that you were living a life
of sin, but now, you want to live a life that would please God.
“As an evangelist, I will
still accept scripts like Ashawo (Prostitute). If they give me the one of
Ashawo, I will do. But then, I’m not going to smoke, because I don’t smoke in
real life, and I’m not going to drink. I can simulate, for instance, like in
drinking, but then, I might not wear clothes that will reveal parts of my body.
“I can still act the role
of an armed robber,” Eucharia, currently serving as an evangelist at a church
in Egbeda, Lagos state said, recalling a movie she played with Patience Ozorkwo
(aka Mama G), where they robbed a bank and fully armed with AK-47.
Continuing, the ‘Abuja
Connection’ act talked about how her colleagues relate with her after she
became born again.
She said, “I remember years
ago when I gave my life to God, my colleagues were laughing at me. ‘Your mates
are busy doing aristo, your mates are busy seeing governors, your mates are
busy going to the clubs in Victoria Island, Ikeja, and everywhere, you sey na
church you wan go’.
“They used to say that
‘something is wrong with Eucharia’. ‘Can you imagine with all her degrees, and
doctorate in waiting, na to go church?’ But today, by the grace of God, where I
sit they can’t sit; where I go they can’t go. I sit with governors and
presidents not for aristo, and not for someone to take me to a corner of a room
to sleep with me.
“I am not among the
superstars they would say, ‘that one get good shape, go corner her for hotel
for me’ and they come and meet you only in the night. They don’t need to take
me to any corner of the room through Personal Assistant.
“They call me to the lobby
of the governor or president’s chapel to pray and declare the word of God Almighty.
And when I am done, they shake my hands and say, ‘lay hands on me,” the
51-year-old movie star added.
