shades. He also talked about why he rarely acts and his
love life with Nadia Buari...Here is what he told Punch:
"I have about 125 pairs of sunglasses. I think I own
about 200 pairs of shoes and sneakers and it is not
something to brag about. I like shoes and I collect them.
I get shoes that are much branded and are limited
edition. For, me it is not just about making a fashion
statement anymore, it is art,"
On outfits:
"I am not brand crazy. The designer labels cost a lot of
money but there is a healthy competition; which is why I
find the fashion market very interesting. have been to
factories that make goods for Gucci. These are people
working on a smaller scale and these are the ones I hire
to make my clothes and they give me what I want.
However, I always buy what I know I would look good in.
On why he rarely acts Nollywood Movies:
"When you arrive at the pinnacle of a career pursuit
where else do you go? I surmounted that apex long in
my prime. I was the guy that made 38 films in a year! I
had created the work-machine image and inevitably also
made myself socially redundant. I couldn't glean at the
moment of my decision till late what else that world had
for me. It was a vicious circle of constant, monotonous
engagement.
"Nothing was challenging anymore. It (Nollywood) was
too easy, too perpetual, having travelled same circles
and faced same obstacles. I also earned same bracket,
produced and invested in the same suffocating projects.
The secret of the constantly progressive individual is the
ability to discern when to shift focus and reinvent even if
it's temporarily. I took all I had, the vast contacts I had
gathered, and moved into the world of business and
facilitation,"
On Nadia,He says
She (Nadia) is a solid, down-to-earth woman. I'm a man
that translates variables in ways many people find
incomprehensible. We have embraced who we are and
learnt to create our own world and expectations. We
have ups and downs like every other couple.
"We have our strength and weakness as well. At the end
of the day, rumours of break ups and make-ups ought to
abound. It really doesn't matter. A relationship is a
continuous work. Those that give up were perhaps not
committed enough. Those that go in for the long haul
suck up and square up to the variables life throws at
them. The people that judge
