Nollywood veteran actor, Charles
Okafor , may have been out of the
movie industry for sometime now
but his new passion is what is
sustaining him.
The actor who was one of the few
stars that made the Nigerian home-
video sector what it was right from
inception, says he has now found
the most important thing in his life
and that is Jesus Christ.
In a recent interview, Charles Okafor
confessed that the reason he has not
been very visible in the industry is
because he is now a born again
Christian and that he cannot serve
God and Marmon at the same time.
“I’ve been lying low for a while
because I diverted into advocacy and
human-angle films as a consequence
of my new found faith. I’m still a
career actor and a film maker but I
am mindful of the scripts I do.
“A time come in the life of any
professional when he seats back and
takes stock of his professional issues
and the legacy he wants to leave
behind from the spiritual standpoint
of view. You cannot just do any kind
of film anymore if you’re going to be
the light to the nations of the world.
We must be seen in the context of
the things that glorify God in totality.
“You see, you cannot eat your cake
and still have it. You cannot serve
God and serve Marmon. You must
clearly define where you stand. I
have put my hands to the plow so I
shouldn’t look back but that does
not remove the fact that I’m still a
career actor and film maker,” he
said.
