Saint Obi serves notice of his continued presence in Nollywood

For many faithful fans of Nollywood actor, Obinna Nwafor, who is better known as St Obi, must have been wondering where on earth he has been to over the years. Just as the movie industry is experiencing a major turn around, his fans would have expected to see more of him around doing what he knows how to do best, good role interpretation.

St Obi was one role interpreter that wowed movie faithfuls, especially those who saw the best of him in late 90’s and early 2000’s. He was a good interpreter of Bad Boy role in films and also the Lover Boy roles.

There use to be a time when there was hardly any film released in Nigeria that this light skinned actor was not in it. But in recent times, this has seized to be.

Some have thought that this make-believe idol stylishly stepped down for the new generation actors the industry was producing lately, when the competition for roles were getting stiffer.

Saint Obi was recently asked why he had not been active in the industry as he used to be, he said, “I have been doing some other things but I am still very much in the movie industry, trying to raise the bar.”

Speaking further, this multi-lingual actor, producer and director said, “Because, I see that we need to move the industry to a global scale. Right now, we are not at that level, so, that is what I have been doing underground. I have a movie that is going to come out soon.”

St Obi debuted in the movie industry in 1996, after doing a commercial of Peugeot on TV. He has starred in films like Festival of fire, Sakobi, Take Me To Mama, which happened to be his first produced movie, among many more films.

A vastly experienced and traveled actor, many believe he will surely take back his place in the film industry whenever he decides to make a turn back.

My reason for choosing to go into music is not because my colleagues are doing same

Actor Yemi Blaq recently sat to grant an interview about lots of things about his life, career, and plans he has for the future personally and professionally:

Please can we know you?

My name is Yemi Blaq and I’m a Nollywood actor from Yoruba.

Are you married?

Yes, I’m married to a very beautiful woman. She is a writer and her name isRemi. I’m Yemi married to Remi (laughs), you see the similarity we both have. Very soon the world will find out that she is the best script writer here in Nigeria. I have a son, who is the joy of my life, his name is kay. He is so smart, brilliant and talented.

How long are you in acting?

I started acting since 2005 and till date – professionally, 6 years now.

How did it all start?

I always wanted to act, I always love acting. I used to act back in school days. I studied theatre arts in school. I travelled and after I came back I joined AGN (Actors Guild of Nigeria) in the year 2005. I got my ID card and started featuring in movies, and since then it’s been one story to the other.

Which movie gave you the breakthrough?

Lost to lost, which was my first lead role movie with Mercy Johnson. It came out successful and since then every director and producer want me to work for them. Because in the industry if you are good, people tend to utilize your talent, look for you.

How many movies have you acted in?

I can’t count because they are too many. I think I have featured in like 100 or more, don’t know the actual figure.

Awards movies?

There are quite a lot of them .The distance between produced and written by my wife won an award. The heroes shot in Hollywood. One of my movies has been nominated at Zafaa award London and I’m supposed to be there by now, but because of my work schedule, I’m still asking them to give me one or two days to go for the award.

Which is the most challenging role for you so far?

Well, to me I find every role I play challenging, because when you are acting you are not portraying yourself but another character, which is entirely different from who you are.

Challenges?

The disappearance of unanimity is one of the challenges. Then the fact that I can’t just go out and be in the crowd like every other person can do, because before you know it some people will just shout “hey Yemi Blaq!

What inspires you?

I got my inspirations from Almighty God. I also get inspired and learned from the environment and people around me, for instance, I learn from how people around me talk, how they react to situations, how they belittle themselves, and how they reason. Whenever I’m acting, I think back and say something like this has happened in the past, it helps me in my acting skills.

About your last job?

It’s a movie about the effect of religion and fanaticism on human relations. Shot in Abuja and directed by Ernest obi. All the cast knew what they were doing – and the director too. The title is “When Love Dies.”

And about your current job?

It’s another good story. It has complex characters, complex situations, It’s a story about how people go through challenges and how they grow and find solutions to them.

Your role?

I’m the boss in the movie, people here calls it the boss so I’m the bad guy in the movie.

The title?

No title yet, because this days things are different, they don’t write the title anymore. They look at the expression in the movie and name it.

About the producer and the director?

Ernest obi is the producer. We have come a long way. He is an actor, a producer and a director, so he is good. The executive producer is a young lady who knows what she wants and wants to make a name in the industry. The director Aquila Njama is not a person to be introduced, because he has done a lot of works. He is also good and at a time he was the youngest director around. He is not someone to be toyed with.

Tell us one secret people don’t know about you?

The only thing people don’t know about me is that I love music. I want to go into music not because my colleagues are into it, but because I have the talent for it.
