Been one of the so-called cartel, he was the only person who escaped persecution and now he's been given the green light to build a refinery. An AGIP any govt in power guy, and some people think he's a role model. The guy is nothing a crooked corrupt and penny-grubbing don. He sounds like those character in Mario Puzzo's novel.

IF I ACT NOBODY WILL BUY
THE FILM – EMEM ISONG

Call her Lady Nollywood and you’d be right.
In a male dominated industry, Emem hold the ace as an inspiring entrepreneurial leader who understands the importance of the
creative people and the value they bring to the nation.

Like a few of her ilk, she stepped into a man’s world to blaze a new path and surrounds herself with people who understand the process, discipline. From nobody to somebody, from nowhere to
somewhere and from grass to grace, the AkwaIbom State born Thespian calls the shot at the Royal Arts Academy. Emem in this interview with E24-7 MAGAZINE REPORTER, EMMANUEL OMENE-JOHNSON talked on
various issues as pertaining to her life as a movie producer and Nollywood as an industry.

How would you describe the person EmemIsong?
I do not know what to say about myself. I am just an easy going person. I like to work hard.
What more would the world like to know for that is all about me?

How was your growing up like
I was from a family of three and the first child. I grew up in AkwaIbom State. I come from a small close knit family and my parents were loving persons.

While growing up, what was or were your childhood dream(s)?
I have always wanted to be an entertainer and I think I am getting my dreams fulfilled. I grew up in front of the television. Even as a child I like staring at the screen. I have
always loved the entertainment world. I love creating things so I believe that made me to do what I am doing now. I loved watching TV.

When did this Nollywood thing start in you?
It started in 1994. I went to the Federal Government Girls College, Calabar and the University of Calabar where I studied Theater
Arts. This I deliberately studied since it was closer to the entertainment that I like. When
I left the university, I did my Youth Service in Lagos with the National Theater. I also went
to the banking industry for three years. I made my first movie, in collaboration with someone in 1994. That was with the late
Francis Agwu in an Ibo movie, Jezebel. I wrote and co- produced the movie. But my first major was in 1996, Breaking Point.

You are reputed to be a very private person, why and how have you been able to do this in a very public industry like Nollywood?
It is just the way I am. I do not go to a lot of events except when it happens to be necessary. Apart from that even if I were not in the entertainment industry, I just like to be by myself. I am not an outgoing person. I do not see myself as an extrovert but an
introvert. I rather read; an evening is an evening with my book. I love reading. I read
more than I watch the TV. So because reading was just me and the book, a very private kind
of thing, I really do not like too much going out.

Is that why you hardly talk to the press?
That is not true. I do when it is necessary. But I don`t like to go out of my way. If I`m doing any project for instance, why won`t I
talk to the media to promote my work. If there is really nothing to say, I can`t say anything. I am who I am. When I have a job to
inform the public of I will promote it. Other than that it is my privacy.

With your works been highly appreciated, what differentiates EmemIsong from the
others?
It`s the people that will tell me for I don`t know. If you`re talking about my work and getting the job done properly, may be
because I think as a professional. I do the very best I can to make sure I give out what I know the people would like. For instance I
don`t like to watch shoddy films and I will not make my films like that. I take my time.
It doesn`t matter if I spend all the money and don’t even make a profit, mine is that it
should be good.

Yet some will ask, what is the magic wand?
It is favour. For I really don`t know. I`m sure a lot of people are better than me. But for some reasons people still like my work. Many do but I still see a lot of people there who don`t like my work. I believe it`s true. I
always say that there is something for everyone. I don`t like horror movies for instance but it doesn’t mean that the makers of horror movies are not good. I can`t watch
action movies. I like romantic movies and watch some thrillers some time. So I`ve my
own life and I`ve carved a niche for myself.

If I made a movie and it sold 50,000 copies,
another person made his and it sold 200 copies, it doesn’t mean that I’m not good or the other person is better. I think it does
mean that I could have my own kind of thing. It`s like a cheap body cream from a very
expensive one, where the cheap one sells to the whole public, the expensive one is for a select few.

Do you actually do a lot of acting?
No. I do not act and I can`t act. I believe I can`t act. I did just one scene some time ago, a ‘waka pass’ thing. The reason I did that
was because the person to play the role was absent and I needed to have it done. It was just for one scene. Apart from that I do the
crowd thing. That is not my thing. I don`t think my strong point is acting. If I act, nobody will buy the film.

I didn't know much about about her, but I respect this interview.

Bigcake: Stop insulting dis woman she is old enuff to be ur mother. If ur mother has never committed blunder is a pointer to d fact dat she was long dead or she has never gotten d opportunity to speak in public. Whr u, sit up.

God bless u.when u see people that cheated to passed exam,u will easily know.this boy-man is a clear example.

ochukoccna: Imagine Patience Jonathan doing this on Time out with Agatha and realise you are having nightmares
Cassava bread no go let am
Nigerian women and pot belly sha!

imagine ur elder sister doing it.jogging and other excercise were tings we africans ignored in time past.we are just begining to learn this art.so dont use Patience Jonathan as an example.

people that matters-"Yerima".so funny to see some1 that married and defile a 13yr old child bin one of the people that matters in apc.

who doesnt knows that T.A.Orji is d one sponsoring all dis?yes kalu didnt perform well as governor for 8yrs,but T.A.ORJI seems to be d worst.go to aba and u will how dirty and unkept that place is.no Good road,no proper waste management system.T.A.ORJI is d most clueless gov of this era.

porka: This is really insulting.

Why would a foreigner be mobilizing against our government?

imagine what the camerounians doing to Nigerians even in bakassi which is not theirs.this lady or man insulted the sensibility of Nigerians.but trust nigerians,we dont give a damn about it especially when u belong to d opposite.this is not good for our democracy.in as much as we have lots of differences due to our political afflictions,this should stop us from airing d truth.

sherbol: this is a beautiful write-up.am gonna print dis out and paste it where i will read every morning.human beings forget easily and very fast alot.may God helps all,ameen!

honeric01: Nigerian players that won't smell bankrupty:

Keshi
Mikel
Kanu
OKocha
Garbal Lawal
OLiseh
Enyeama
Yobo
Olofinjana.

These guys know what money management is all abou

Reyspin: I doubt if this piece originated from Sunday Oliseh..I never know him to this smart..But this piece is a very insightful advice for our footballer..

broda,go and read more about oliseh .he is d smartest n most intelligent sportmen of his era,excluding odegbami and adokiye' era.read all his post and commentary.

k2039: This is not applicable to sport men alone but every individual who wants to be rich throughout his/her life span.

seems u didnt read it well.he said"sportsmen unlike normal millionaire makes their money at a tender age and d bump into money so quickly".this makes them spend it in an"awof" manner.

teniyi: It depends on who he contests against. But for sure Buhari is a million times better than the Clueless Mumu called GEJ.

U are as clueless as ur religious bigot buhari

If truely they are not pay,then its not fair co seun is making a huge some of money from this site.if linda ikeji could make as much as she is making,then seun should makes cos its the no1 sie in nigeria if I am not making mistakes.
They are suppose to be paid,I believe they are paid.

News
The Federal Government has reiterated its
commitment to complete the rehabilitation of the
Eastern railway corridor from Port Harcourt to
Maiduguri, within the year, a statement said on
Friday.
According to the statement issued in Abuja by Mrs
Yetunde Sonaike, Deputy Director, Press and
Public Relations, in the Ministry of Transport, the
Minister, Mr Idris Umar, gave the assurance when
he received the governors of Kogi and Anambra
States, Idris Wada and Peter Obi in his office.
It said that the governors were at the ministry to
solicit the inclusion of Onitsha and Ayangba in the
25years railway development master plan, aimed
at transforming the transport sector .
The statement said that the master plan was not
sacrosanct in principle and as such technical
experts in the ministry would look into the
request of the governors as soon as possible.
The governors commended the ministry on the
successful rehabilitation of the Western rail line
from Lagos to Kano and looked forward to the
completion of other lines.
Wada commended the Federal Government for
the completion of the dredging of the Lower River
Niger from Lokoja to Onitsha and the development
of an inland Jetty at Idah, Kogi state.
Wada also informed the minister that the state
had set up a committee to look into safety steps
to ensure smooth inland water transportation of
passengers, especially between Kogi and
Nasarawa states.
The governor, however, said that the state was in
the process of acquiring necessary boats for safe
transportation.

...SEen d world in what aspect?cos I know u are refering to christianity.do u think that christianity is just a religion?my dear,christianity isn't a religion,but rather a way of life of people that follows Jesus christ,so incase u didn't know,christianity isn't something u inherit or tribal affairs.if ur way isn't like the way by which christ himself lived while on earth,then u are a not a christian.
