He said:
“When things like this happen I say it’s an unfortunate circumstance, nobody plans for stuff like that.
“Sometimes it makes you want to change from being a jolly good fella.
“You ask yourself questions like, should I hide myself or not associate with a friend or have friends? Should I change myself not to associate with people stop being a good fellow?
“So many things come to your head when kinds of stuff like this starts happening
“But two things are, keep your straight be grateful for friends and your creator
“Henceforth just be careful don’t change your friendliness for nothing.

In a recent interview, popular Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku addressed the confusing videos of him from last year. The videos showed him on the street, talking to himself and looking dishevelled. People online worried that Anuku might be mentally ill.
But Anuku cleared things up and explained to interviewer Lucky Udu that he was actually preparing for an acting role. He was pretending to be a character who wasn’t well mentally, so he could act the part more realistically.
He began, “That day I was trying to get into character for a role I was going to play, a madman role. Someone who was not in his correct senses or right frame of mind.”
“So naturally I did it in the neighbourhood and I was trying to get it to show the way the director would have shown it. I was meditating and trying to get into character, that’s it. I was not even aware that I was being recorded. I was concentrating on myself and my script,” he continued.
Hanks Anuku took the interview as an opportunity to dispel rumors about his mental health and drug use.
He firmly denied ever using drugs and assured the interviewer that he’s in excellent health. The strange behavior in the videos was all part of his dedication to acting, not a reflection of his own well-being.
“People have said a lot of stuff. Rumours are rumours. They said I was sick and I was on drugs. I was not on drugs. Maybe they saw me depressed cause depression can cause stress. But me, being on drugs? That’s not true. I’m not a madman. I’m very sane and healthy. I exercise a lot and do my martial arts and sports,” he explained.
Further admitting that the viral videos and rumors had a big negative impact on his life, he explained how he lost a lot of money due to the situation. Film projects stopped hiring him, leaving him jobless for a period of time. On top of the financial strain, Anuku shared the emotional toll it took on him. He felt hurt and discouraged by the way people reacted to the misunderstanding.
He said, “I lost a lot of money. I lost jobs and was jobless for a while and people didn’t care about me. I went through pain and I was heartbroken.”
In a recent interview, Nigerian actress Yvonne Jegede talked about her past marriage. She said she wished she had considered financial security more before getting married.
Jegede was married to actor Olakunle Fawole, but their marriage ended. In the interview, she said things changed after they got married. Her husband started finding fault with how she talked to him. He also made a big deal about their age difference, even though it wasn’t a problem before.
She said,
“He is eight years older than me. But the moment we got married, if I tell am say, ‘You dey crase,’ he would say I’m disrespecting him. I would then be like, ‘It’s the same me, same thing I’ve been saying for over 10 years.'”
Jegede went on to explain that financial issues played a significant role in her decision to end the marriage. She felt she was carrying more of the financial burden than her husband.
“Let me just state the fact, I was bringing more of the money. Now I’m taking care of my son like nobody exists around me and it’s not easy, it’s not funny. I should have gone for money instead of love. Let me be very honest…”
Jegede’s comments about her marriage sparked discussions online, particularly about finances in marriage. Many social media users expressed their opinions. One person on Instagram even posted a message hoping for partners who take financial responsibility in relationships.
“As a guy, nor let money finish for your hand sha😢😢. Try ur best🙏,” said another user.
Another Instagram user said,“Anything a woman does for a man is never forgotten, but she might not always recall the times when the man supported her. Some women have selective memories, and it’s like they have two sides to them.”
Stephanie Coker-Aderinokun, a media personality and actress, bravely discussed her challenges with PCOS and IVF in a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo. She revealed the emotional turmoil she faced after her second IVF attempt failed, confessing that she nearly resorted to taking her own life.
Stephanie disclosed that she invested a significant amount of money, over $40,000. She went as far as travelling to Los Angeles for an IVF procedure, only to have it end unsuccessfully last year.
After an unsuccessful round of IVF, she felt deeply discouraged and confided in a friend. She expressed a strange sense of rejection, feeling like even the baby didn’t want her. This was especially difficult because IVF was her only chance at having a child due to her PCOS.
The PCOS caused such severe bleeding that she was hospitalised, and at her worst point, she was confined to a wheelchair and even had to sleep outside in the garden to cope with the overwhelming internal heat. It had been a very physically and emotionally challenging time.
Furthermore, Stephanie Coker shared how the challenges escalated when her husband faced public scrutiny and lost his election. This intensified the backlash against them, adding another layer of difficulty to their already challenging situation.
