But wait, Friday was the first part of the movie, Next Friday was the second, then Friday after next was the third. I thought I saw Chris in all three? Anyways that was a long time ago, I probably have forgotten. I read this same news several months ago here on Nairaland and I thought they wanted to make a fourth part, that was when he rejected, but by this news he rejected (Next Friday) looong ago? I don't understand. Oops, just googled, he wasn't actually in the other two. He made the decision years ago then, we're just getting to know. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

FarmTech: Nigerian actors will even fall over themselves for the role and defend it as a way of showing how bad smoking weed is and use it to preach and teach and still pay tithe from the $10 million. And go on to produce Good Friday. 2 Likes 1 Share |

There so many true Christians that still keep their faith irrespective of what it may cause them...though might not be popular like Chris Tucker but are doing exploit and breaking barriers in their own little ways... This thing no be for mouth, nah for a serious commitment with great work behind the scene as backups... It is not easy...many Christians you thought are they are still standing have falling long time ago...it is just a matter of time for you to really see their true colour... Most of the time when I enter churches ...i say go myself that most of these church leaders have lower the standard practice and doctrines so that they can accommodate as many sinners as possible....now that have now attracted different people different levels ... it could have been better if we have so many fire-branded Christians in the churches who could be able to mentor those who were brought into the faith and align them to the standard practice but since most of them also have shaky-shaky faith, so they just align with them...and now, the people of the world are now influencing these churches ..what an irony of life ... Speaking and dancing worldly is the norm in the chueches. where is the boundary..m?/ |

It's his decision to make, like they alwaysl say, money is not everything. Materialism sometimes mislead ones heart into doing what's not good. I salute Chris Tucker's courage for what he did. Too many things wrong turning the world into a terrible place to be. Many young men and women are dying of hard drugs. |

I also turned down some cash to stay true to Orisha. What's the big deal! Some of you Christians create topics like you got worms in the skull 💀. He decided to stay true to what he believes in.... So what's the big deal |

FarmTech: But the church ain't helping matters either. There are lots of talents that have left the church and "sold their soul" to the devil. I've seen this, and see the problem it potends and I've kept brainstorming on how to remedy this situation myself.... But then, the church has been a harm than good in helping Christians not to fall to these kinds of path. If you are hungry, bro you'll accept any deal that'll put food on your table.... Food can make anyone do stuff and hey it ain't a test of faith either..... Its nature playing out. What stops our churches to organize stuff that'll equip Christians and tend them ? Imagine tending the gift / talent / purpose of a man and he makes it in life without bowing to the Babylonian system ? In that case when you say God lifts, or one can make it without bowing, it'll be very easy to accept and already you got a witness cos he or she made it without bowing. But if the church had put in place structure to aid believers in that path, such that we pour out our resources to celebrate good / futuristic girls, build on the talent of our guys, help our men by engaging their wives etc, we would have had our own world / sphere where the girls don't believe that you must sleep with someone or dress like deity (Beyonce, etc) to gain fame; the guys don't believe in getting so low as to bowing for idols just to hamma through yahoo+, the men don't hate their wives cos they are gainfully employed (and thereby helps faithfulness )...... But how can you bear witness when in the true sense you haven't handled an earth shattering breakthrough through your talent / gift ? Even Abraham lied cos he didn't want to be killed.... How about our music ministers ? They never help upcoming. See that guy that sang Beautiful day cover, how many gospel ministers came for him both in Nigeria or other country ? Now Sony have signed him. And would you expect him not to bow to the system ? Its hard for individuals like Tucker. Now imagine those who haven't even made it, and as humans they want to be heard. Tomorrow now, don jazzy will sign that sister / brother, or Akon will lend a helping hand or davido or wiskid and you'll expect the brother or sister to not go the other path ? Like I said, I'm brainstorming to see how one can help. Maybe its my purpose maybe just me being concerned cos if I tell you how this thing Literally pains me, you will understand. Even with me listing it in detail here too, if you can see through, you'll get a glimpse. I respect pastor Chris Oyakhilome on this as he helped gospel ministers (and now you can imagine, its a fact that lots of good songs keep flowing through those many people he gas raised, which should make one imagine what if he didn't come through, so these would have been used to worship satan instead ). Imagine if our churches roll out billions to equip our members and sponsor their drives to make their mark even in the secular world. And the church has the money. But what they may jot know is that it'll even bring more prosperity to the church. Imagine if dangote was a believer or elon musk a genuine believer ? Can the church lack ? This is what they don't know. And greed. Their kids get well educated but they can't pretend they don't know the importance of education even to encourage researches. And what's the result ? The church is praying for what ordinarily she can solve. God has given the enablement. 1 Like |

In my own opinion, I will say I have turned down way more than this if you do some calculations😁 Calculations as in how much is $10m to Chris Talkers networth and how much is the Naira I have turned down compared to my networth? Abi you think say na everybody devil fit tempt with $10m 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Abi you want make devil broke🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

FarmTech: I don't doubt that Chris tucker's life as a Christian influenced his content as a comedian, but him turning down next Friday because of his faith? That's just BooShit, utter rubbish.......Do your research, Chris tucker turned down Next Friday because he committed himself to the Rush Hour franchise and his role in that franchise wasn't all that "Religious"!! The actors where paid peanuts for Friday...... Chris was only paid $10,000 to do Friday and it was a hit!! Faizon love was paid only $2,500.... The executive producer of the movie (Ice-cube) didn't even bother to offer Chris and some of his Co-stars extra cash for their work there, despite the fact that it was a low budget movie that brought in bucks, over $27million in box office.....(that may seems small but for a movies produced by a gangstar rapper back in the day, it was considered successful). When the time came to do the sequel next Friday, Ice Cube offered to double their pay up to scale, double $2,500, how much is that $5,000? Double up $10,000 up to scale for Chris and tell me how much he will make.....? It was Faizon love that convinced Chris to take up a role in Rush hour for a whooping $3million dollars eventually cornering over $50million from the sequel, while Faizon love went on to act in the replacements for a $100,000...... Chris in my opinion only made that statement out of respect for ice cube because Friday shot Chris Tucker into Hollywood limelight and it would be Disrespectful for a brother to turned down another over cash in the hood. Chris Tucker's role as Smokey was key to the movies success and endearment to fans, so when Next Friday was announced, fans wanted Chris Tucker in it..... They only offered him $10million hoping he will give Next Friday a rethink and ditch the Rush Hour sequel........ Which blackman will ditch a Hollywood movie with a co star like Jackie Chan and a host of others, with a box office opening of $240m that paid you $3million for the first movie in a sequel, to feature in a movie sequel that paid you $10,000 on the first movie and the executive producer only offered you $10million hoping it will entice you to break a commitment you have for a Hollywood blockbuster series!!!?? I leave that question to the Nairaland panel of judges....... 1 Like 1 Share |
