Patience Ozokwor is proud of her acting abilities and has said she believes she did a good job interpreting several movie characters.


Patience Ozokwor says she’s done a good job interpreting different movie characters.
In a recent interview, she said a good actor should be able to deliver roles convincingly.

"Any actor worth his salt should be able to deliver on whatever role he or she is given to play.

For people to be so affected by the roles I have played means that I did a good job in interpreting the characters I was given. However, I wouldn’t like to pass wrong messages to anyone through my movies ," she said.

However, the actress noted that her personality is nothing like the roles she has been famous for playing in several Nollywood movies.

"Nothing can be farther from the truth. I am a simple person who doesn’t like to interfere in other people’s lives. Sometimes, I cry when I watch some of the movies I acted in.

I am nothing like that and you can never see me where wicked acts are being perpetuated. If anybody close to me does something wrong, I will not shield the person. Like I have said several times, I am an actress and...

haaa bro easy nah

On first inspection it seems like any other Los Angeles-based company, with tasteful art on the white walls and calm-inducing diffusers dotted about.

Peter describes the working atmosphere as "quiet, but fun", and especially likes the fact that there is no pressure to socialise, while Evan says of his employers that they are "very accommodating and understanding". Brian describes his office as "unique".

Auticon is one of only a handful of companies that cater exclusively for employees who are on the autistic spectrum.

Formerly known as MindSpark before being acquired by German-based Auticon, the firm was founded by Gray Benoist who, as the father of two autistic sons, saw few options in the workplace that could cater for their needs.

"Both are incredibly capable and smart and deserve an opportunity to be able to express that," he told the BBC on a recent visit to the company.

"I felt that the gap had to be filled and there was no other way to fill it than by taking action myself." He started the firm in 2013 and it has now grown to more than 150 employees. His oldest son, also called Gray, now works in the finance team.

"Our mission is about enabling a group who have been disenfranchised. There are many segments of society that are under-utilised and people on the autistic spectrum are one of them," he said.

Peter had worked in "normal" offices before but they did not seem very normal to him. In fact he compared his previous working life to an episode of Survivors, a BBC series depicting the lives of a group of people in the aftermath of a flu outbreak that has wiped out most of the human race.

"It was all very tricky to navigate and understand. I failed to make social connections," he told the BBC.

Evan describes how at previous jobs he would "just sit and listen to a podcast by myself while I ate lunch".

Autism affects more than one in 100 people according to the UK's National Autistic Society, but fewer than a quarter of these will go on to full-time employment.

Many fall at the first hurdle because anxiety, which can often be heightened for those on the autistic spectrum, makes even the prospect of a job interview very intimidating.

"People tend to hire people who are like themselves, and autistic people are not like you, they are like themselves," said Steve Silberman, author of Neurotribes, a book which looks at the evolution of autism.

"The list of things you are not supposed to do in an interview is practically a definition of autism. Don't look away, look the employer in the eye, sell yourself. All of these are very difficult for autistic people."

Brian desperately wanted to utilise his computing skills in the workplace but felt put off applying for jobs in the competitive tech world.

"There is a lot of pressure. You have to compete against other people," he said.

Clearly overwhelmed by the prospect, he worked in some menial jobs instead - including in a grocery shop and washing cars - neither of which was utilising his talents and were, in his own words, "not going anywhere".

Some firms have found ways around the traditional interview process. German software firm SAP, which also employs those on the autistic spectrum, offers candidates the chance to build Lego robots instead of a formal interview.

"That shows problem-solving skills and commitment to a task," said Mr Silberman.

And SAP obviously thinks it is worth it, pointing out that employing autistic people is not done out of "charity" but because it "boosts our bottom line".

As well as having heightened anxiety, autistic people often struggle with social interaction.

So, at Auticon, if employees want headphones because of noise sensitivity they can have them. They also have the option to work in a dark room if they prefer, they don't have to take lunch breaks if they do not want them and if they do not feel able to communicate verbally with their team-mates, they can use messaging apps instead.

If things get too much for someone, they are entitled to "anxiety days off".

"Sensitivity to our employees' issues is our first priority," said Mr Benoist, "but that means putting the processes behind that to ensure you still deliver the highest quality to your client, which requires thought about how projects are put together and how resources are assigned."

And when it comes to the dreaded employee review, there is an emphasis on not being critical.

"It is all about good human resources principles, it is something that other firms could easily replicate," he added.

Mr Silberman is not convinced that segregated offices are a good idea because he thinks that both autistic employees and their more neuro-typical co-workers can learn a lot from working together.

"By learning how to manage neuro-diverse employees, employers also learn how to help every employee," he said.

"Look at Bill Gates, who definitely had autistic traits. He has grown socially and is now a great...

Here are five celebrities we hope will stay away from trouble and drama in 2019. Welcome to 2019 guys and as we kick off another beautiful year with all eyes on our favourite celebrities, we kind of hope they stay away from trouble all year.

For some, staying away from controversies is like mixing water and oil together which never works. It is safe to say there were born for controversies.

As we go into a new year, we hope these guys stay away from controversies and just concentrate on their crafts.

1. Mercy Aigbe

Mercy Aigbe is unarguably one of the most beautiful and talented women you'd find in the entertainment industry but we think she also has a thing for being in the news for all the wrong reasons. In 2018, Mercy Aigbe started trending from the beginning of the year following her birthday dress drama .

The story went back and forth with no headway, rather it left her with the dent of always been trapped in drama.

When we thought it was going to be the last drama Mercy Aigbe was going to be involved in, then came the rumours that she got her mansion from a Sugar Daddy, a claim she denied .

It's a new year and all we want to hear and see from the talented actress is new blockbuster movie projects and those gorgeous photos that we always love.

2. Tonto Dikeh

For lovers of the light-skinned gorgeous actress, it's been a while they've seen her star in a movie. However, it may surprise you to know that even though Tonto Dikeh has been away from the movies for a while, she has been able to remain in the news for a lot of other reasons.

Some of these reasons include the fact that she is big on giving to charity which gets a lot of buzz from the media, but the main reason we here about Tonto Dikeh every other time is the controversies surrounding her.

In 2018, if she wasn't throwing shades at her ex-husband , she was raising alarm over plans of the police to invade her home. Let's hope that in 2019, Tonto Dikeh returns from the self-exile, and goes back to acting. We miss the talent, Tonto!

3. Wizkid

The biggest controversy in 2018 was that of Wizkid and his baby mamas especially the time one of them, Sola Ogudu spilled a lot about her issues with the music star pertaining to the parenting of their son, Boluwatife.

It was one of the craziest moments in 2018 and we think we don't want to see that happen in 2019. So we are clear, 2018 was one of the biggest years for Wizkid's career as he broke so many records from our African point of view.

From selling out the 20,000 capacity O2 Arena in the United Kingdom to sold-out Nike jerseys, indeed he had an amazing 2018. Moving forward, Wizkid should keep his household in order and continue to bless us with beautiful music.

4. Daddy Freeze

Daddy Freeze spent the better part of 2018 dragging various pastors in the country over what he claims to be their fraudulent activities.

Philippine president confesses Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has confessed to sexually abusing a maid while he was a teenager, according to a report.

In a speech on December 29, Duterte said that he had confessed to a priest going into a maid’s room while she slept and placing his fingers on her genitals, TIME magazine reports, quoting the BBC. The remarks were not unusual for Duterte, who has frequently come under fire for making statements that demean or encourage violence against women.

Last June and July, women’s rights activists gathered in Manila to protest Duterte’s treatment of women, including his remarks that communist rebels should be “shot in the vagina.”

The new remarks stand out, however, because Duterte admitted to sexually assaulting a woman himself. Duterte said that when he was a teenager, he walked into the maid’s room while she was asleep.

“I lifted the blanket… I tried to touch what was inside the panty,” he said, according to the BBC. “I was touching. She woke up so I left the room.”

He later came back into the maid’s room and fondled her genitals again, the BBC said. Duterte said that after hearing the confession, the priest said...
