Be "A DREAMER" and "A DOER"

"Until you start doing, you will never get going." Dreamers are many, but those who take action towards accomplishing their dreams are few.

Be a dreamer and a doer, don't just stop at dreaming. Dreaming and doing is the way to the height you seek. Dreaming alone don't pay results or returns; doing does.

Dreaming can only amount to more dreams and fairytale thoughts. But doing is capable of attracting manifestion. Dreaming is intangible, doing is tangible.

The intangible has no place in physicality, this realm is meant for tangible things. Be passionate about taking doing as much as you do about dreaming; and watch manifestation happen.

Dream and do comrades.

The Liability Called WOMAN:

A woman is literally a luxury piece of (living) liability that only investors and entreprenuers can truly afford. Anyone without multiple sources of income (current and passive) should not aquire the liability called woman.

Woman is good, woman is sweet, sweeter than fine wine. Actually, woman is the most sweet and beautiful acquisition that a man can have. God is indeed a baker. He is better than a creator. He created men and baked women into form.

The form of a woman is appealing to every man even a dying one, unless he is gay. Woman are a neccessary aquisition and a necessary liability. A liability that many men are unable to satisfy, both in bed, belly and puckets.

Women, abeg make una no vex.

A band of veterans... Veteran Nollywood female celebs.

It is God's blessings that magnifys our hustles, not our struggles. Our struggles alone will LEAD us nowhere and LEAVE us nowhere.

But the ointment of God's blessings when administered to our hustle (when mixed with the works of our hands) our story will change and people will begin to praise us.

When that happens, take the praises and give God the glory that he alone deserve(s) . Do not forget to announce to the world that it is his blessings and not your struggles.

Your Voice Is Essential:

Your voice is your significant tool as actor. And for any acting coach to say your voice is great, you have to be able to enunciate.

Now, what is Enunciation? Enunciation is the actor's ability to "speak CLEARLY, CORRECTLY and AUDIBLY."

Actors take note, work on your accent, diction and intonation to sound better. We all know that Yule Edochie's voice is his vital tool.

* Erecting The Structure Of The House Called YOUR CAREER:

If you have learned how to act and you can act, next step is to begin with getting connected with a career mentor (who should be a producer or a director who is connted to the real Nollywood.

Many are practicing filmmaking, but only few are the real true Nollywood filmmakers in fulltime practice. Get someone like that or get affiliated to an active actors talents mgt/promotion and film production company that can help you with all the challenges of career growth.

And begin to build your career from ground up. Your career will grow, but you need to build it first. Just like a house, you have to build it for it to stand. Similar to a tree, you have to plant it for it to grow and become firmly rooted in the ground. You have to grow your career first, and soon you shall become valuable to producers, directors and all categories of actors employers.

Then, you can name your price, bill them your desired fee and practice your career in influenece and affluence as you should. Become the star you dream to be. But first, you have to erect the structure of this house called your career. Because without it, you have no value.

On the death of: ADA JESUS

When i write to say, "we don't have much time here on earth as creative contents creators." Many folks on my list often write back to ask me if i want to die.

No, i do not want to die. But I know that i will someday, what i do not know is when. So, I do not have the luxury of time as I've come to believe; because i have no idea when my maker's call will come for my life.

Yesterday i was on set when the untimely death of thriving female creative contents creator Ada Jesus reached us. It is indeed sad one. May her soul rest in peace. Creators, keep creating... We don't when we shall return.

What she created before her death are the works that we shall remember her by. I must admit that the unconventional creative contents creators community has suffered a big blow.

Rest in peace A. J

THE ACTOR, AND HIS REACTION!
THE DIRECTOR, AND HIS INSTRUCTION!

The actor is an interpretative vessel designed to take and carry out a director's instruction for the betterment of the film and the actor's career.

Similar to Christianity, a believer should obey God's commandments and do all the religious needfuls in order to make heaven.

I have not seen a rebellious actor become star in Nollywood, just as i have not heard of a unrepentant sinner make heaven.

We do not just shoot films @ iSTS, we are a career (talents/skills) mgt agency as well. So we restructure, construct and reshape our actors attitude to be fit for stardom.

Many of our cast come to us raw, rough and rugged, we take a moment to first fix them before we fix their careers.

If you are in, you should be ready. If you are not ready, then you are not in. A word for actors from the desk of iSTS management.

Search Within:

If you can shut your ears to the sayings, perceptions and opinions of others and the world in general for a period of time. You will see a new you emerge out of you. I mean, you will become one that pays attention to the content of your inside. You will listen more to your super conscious thoughts rather than what others think or say.

It is my opinion that, we chase so much of what is outside, when we should concentrate more on what is within us. I don't know for whom HE woke me up at 2:30am to write this for. If this message is for you, then listen: He said, "shut your ears to what you hear outside and listen more to HIS voice within you. Inside of you lay the answers you seek to have that situation settled."

Fine quotes by Nollywood's Seiyefa John.

A Leading Servant:

You can't lead and not serve. If you are leading and not serving; then you are not a (good) leader. Leadership is service. Leadership is service delivery. Leading is serving. The leader is a servant, he is empowered to serve his followers.

The leader was elected, selected, nominated or appointed to serve the followers. No leader should feel bigger than his/her followers; becuse in the actual sense; the followers are the true leaders. The followers are the leader's leader.

The mandate to lead is given to leaders by the followers. Leaders must learn to serve as they lead. Not pride or Lord themselves over their followers. You as a leader should aspire to lead because you want to serve, because service is all you are leading to provide. Not because you want to embezzle and suck the system dry.

Leaders from all works of life (spiritual, political, formal, informal, social, organizational or religeous) need to know this, "a leader is the ladder through which rich services reach the followers. If your opinion of leadership is different from my notion, then i certainly may need moral evaluation & mental re-configuration."

My name is Seiyefa John. I am a leader, but in the real sense, my followers are my leader(s). Therefore i am only A LEADING SERVANT.

Note: my book: "NOLLYWOOD INSIDE-OUT" will be on Amazon this month end. And thanks to my online publisher Apostle Daniel Patrick we will have the book translated into French, Portuguese, Spanish etc

The CORRELATION between ACTIVITY and LONGEVITY as it relates to LONG LIFE and HAPPY LIVING.

Are the words ACTIVITY and LONGEVITY related? I think they are. And below is my keen observation.

Active people are more lively and joyous, compared to inactive people who are often bored and moody.

Activities make active people live longer, while inactive people are often depressed and they live shorter lives.

TAKE it OR LEAVE it, U NEED MONEY:

Talent alone is illusion in this century, money provides succor to career growth seekers. Until u are established or distinguished as actor or actress__ say whatever you like, disagree all you want; i say to u this day (U NEED MONEY).

"Do u have money? Career 2day is not about talent any more. It is more about who can sponsor his or her way to their heart desires & desired height's in the industry.

Sadly, gone are those days when Nollywood search or hunt 4 talents. These days it is talents that are in search of the industry (talents hunting and shacing Nollywood. Na them de rush the industry.

Reasons why U NEED MONEY:
_______________________________
*Who will pay your TP to auditions?

*Who will feed u if the production can't provide food?

*Who will accomodate you if the production is incapable to do so?

*Who will even give you TP back home should you say you can't stand it?

*See why U NEED MONEY as upcoming actor?

Most productions (including ours) seek registration fees to have you as cast and for u to benefit from their productions. Only a handful of productions across the country can capably feed, camp actors and pay them after shoot.

Truth hurts. Saying the truth here may make many hate me, but truth remains true__ truth is that intangile compound that cannot be dilluted. Take it or leave it, U NEED MONEY.

Do your research and come back to fault me. I await your counter perception. Until then, be informed that our online cast screening is still on and will remain-on till 6th of Feb 2021.

The desire of the world and the ill powers that exists is for believers to operate in the flesh and practice the needs and feelings of the flesh. But the will of God is for us to align with his word and be led right by his spirit. Are you led? Let the Holy Spirit lead YOU.

Overcoming In Your Wilderness... is the vitality that we (believers) need at this time, to rejuvenate, recalibrate and revitalize our spiritual walk with our creator (and to motivate us to serve and sacrifice more in his vineyard).

The content of this book is not a product of a well educated man displaying his wealth of knowledge, but a Holy Ghost inspired message of divine wisdom to the world using his vessel (Ben Evans) and the life experiences of this vessel as case study in the process.

Many books are written to express their author's brilliance or intelligence, but this book was inspired and delivered to you by the author to enrich and enable any believer surgeon and surmount through their days, months or even years of draught in their wilderness.

Every believer goes through the phase of wilderness (temptations, trials, taunting times, wants, discouragements, regrets, depression etc), but what is more important is knowing how to react to get out of your wilderness and emerge even more glorious than you went in. And that is the message of divine wisdom contained here-in in "Overcoming In Your Wilderness."

Read, heed, believe and change both spiritual and physical level.

SIMPLICITY IS WEAKNESS:
__Nollywood's Seiyefa John ✍

Simple people like me, we have come to know that there is no value in simplicity. The world and the people in it appreciates more of the complex and complicated types.

I will never again blame celebrities for their nasty attitudes. Now, i see why simple celebrities with good hearts turn to live life and treat others using the complex and complicated formula.

To say the truth, a celebrity will not be seen, adored, appreciated and valued if the celebrity is as simple as a non-entity. Simplicity is good, but the other version seems to be more profitable.

People pay more for value don't they? Complex people get more pay for their services, while simple people get less and sometimes they are even short changed or short payed.

Simple people suffer more losses than their counter parts on the complex side. Only few simple people are firm enough not to get cheated. Most simple people suffer cheatting on daily bases.

Forgive me, but i think simplicity is weakness. And complexness is doggedness. As we approach the end of the year 2020, i am taking inventory of the ills done me by others because of my simple nature.

And i am saying to myself, "Nollywood's Seiyefa John" you have to wake up and buckle up. Hence na bottle of reality to nack your head to wake you up. ATTITUDINAL CHANGE IS ON THE WAY. Anticipate a NEW ME!

Let TIME play out the results of your efforts:

Building anything from the scratch (from ground up) takes TIME. Time is a resource! A valuable one indeed.

Physical buildings take time to get erected, even in sexual intercourse; a man's erection takes a TIME to form.

Yes, the nerves of a man's dick needs TIME for stimulation and erotic information from the mind, sight and feeling to get activated.

Children crawl and walk before they can run. Businesses grow to boom with TIME after they have been established.

Ask politicians, i mean the political actors and elites of any nation or org, they invested TIME to thrive in their field.

Traders and network marketing agents will tell you that, 'it takes TIME and antics to sweet talk a buyer to buy their products.'

Students know that, they can't jump into school and just jump out without spending the said TIME stipulated by the system.

Boxers can relate that, even in a case of a knock_out, it takes TIME in seconds or sometimes minutes to throw the punch that will effect the knock_out.

Actors know what's up, actors on THE career LINE knows that it takes TIME to arise and shine on the big screen.

Scenarios are many to relate to about TIME, but this is no WAEC exam. So i will halt here. My point is captured in the last paragraph.

"DON'T RUSH THINGS, DON'T BE IMPATIENT. TAKE INITIATIVE, BUT TRUST THE PROCESS AND LET time PLAY OUT THE RESULTS OF YOUR EFFORTS."
