Where I go, my colleagues can't go - Veteran Nollywood actress Eucharia Anuobi

Veteran Nollywood actress cum evangelist Eucharia Anunobi in an interview with The sun talks about how her colleagues related with her after she became born again.


She also opened up on the discrimination and challenges of being a born-again Christian.

According to her, “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 said.

Eucharia came into limelight for her role in the movie series 'Glamour Girls' in 1994 and has gone on to star in over 90 movies including 'Abuja Connection' and 'Letters to a Stranger'.
