Hanks Anuku

Nollywood gangster actor, Hanks Anuku has broken silence following a video that went viral on social media during the week raising concerns about the actor’s mental state of mind.

In the viral video, Hanks was captured wandering the streets in tattered clothes, sparking reactions from some of his fans and colleagues.

Actress Shan George, however, dismissed the video, saying ‘Anuku is not insane” as widely feared, stressing that he was on a movie set.

Debunking the claim in a short video, which he shared on his Instagram page, @ha1962anukuha, yesterday, the gangster actor said the viral video enmanted from a movie set. Anuku said he has been on a movie set, while accusing people circulating the video of trying to destroy his image.

His words: “I just want to let you know that today is November 18, 2022, and I’m speaking live from my cabal. This is not an old video, it’s fresh from heaven above to the earth below. Find Jesus and leave me alone.

“My love for Nigeria is for real and from the most high God. But those who hate me can come out and confess and show me who they are. Stop writing crap about me.

“If your family doesn’t have respect for Nigeria, then you better go to Jesus Christ for deliverance. Just leave me alone, please.

“Tell all these motherf*ckers who write crap about me to stop writing about me and leave me alone. If they wanna act in the movie, they can come to me. I’ve been on set and anyone using those pictures and videos on set to try and destroy my image, may the holy spirit forgive you.”

Sharing another video on Instagram, the actor added: “I am alive, strong, saved and blessed. I am wealthy. I will continue to represent Nigeria. Vote for Hank Anuku for President.”

Hanks Anuku, who’s best known for his roles as the chief gangster of Nollywood, is not new to controversy.

In 2015, it was rumoured that the actor was HIV positive and he had gotten the deadly infection as a result of his contact with a large number of women.

Following the allegation, Hanks took to social media to debunk the report. In 2017, the actor was in the news again after he allegedly naturalized and became a Ghanaian citizen, adopting a new name, Nana Kwame Fifi Kakra.

Several years after he disappeared from the screens, Hanks resurfaced in 2019, when he registered his film academy better known as “Henk Anuku Film Academy.” The actor hit limelight after starring in his debut movie ‘The Skeleton.’

Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies

Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on relationships and what women may need to consider when choosing a partner.

In a recent post on his Instagram page, he advised ladies to think carefully about their priorities and what they are willing to accept in a relationship.

Kanayo O. Kanayo suggested that women who are not willing to be with someone who is financially struggling may need to be prepared to date someone who is very busy and has limited time to devote to a relationship.

He presented this as a trade-off, implying that women may need to make a choice between these two options.

On his Instagram page, Kanayo wrote:

“The gentleman’s code: If you don’t want a man who is broke, you are going to have to put up with a busy one.”

In another news, Kanayo defends Davido amid backlash over economic comment.

In a recent interview, Davido advised African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing Nigeria’s dire economic conditions as a case study.

The statement has since ignited widespread criticism, with many calling for the musician to apologize.

However, Kanayo, currently in the UK, addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, urging Nigerians to respect Davido’s right to free speech.

The veteran actor highlighted that Davido, despite his privileged background, made the comments out of concern for the average Nigerian.

Dismissing the demands for an apology, Kanayo said:

“Nigerians make una leave Davido alone about the comment he made; it’s freedom of speech and he made it in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria. We need to build a better Nigeria,” he said partly.

“Some people say he should apologize; apologize for what? He’s a Nigerian and he made his statement in good faith. Those who criticize us wants the best out of us. Davido and his family can feed well but he speaks for other Nigerians who cannot,” he added.
