act the role of a prostitute and infact
any other role despite being born again
because she has not left her talent.
Eucharia said this to The Sun in a short
interview.
She said, “While you are seeing me as a
movie legend, all the years you have been
seeing ‘act all the actable’. I am still acting
because I have not left my talent.
This is my own definition of being born
again. Born again means you have realised
and discovered that you were living a life
of sin, but now, you want to live a life that
would please God.
“As an evangelist, I will still accept scripts
like Ashawo (Prostitute). If they give me the
one of Ashawo, I will do. But then, I’m not
going to smoke, because I don’t smoke in
real life, and I’m not going to drink. I can
simulate, for instance, like in drinking, but
then, I might not wear clothes that will
reveal parts of my body.
“I can still act the role of an armed
robber,” Eucharia, currently serving as an
evangelist at a church in Egbeda, Lagos
state said, recalling a movie she played
with Patience Ozorkwo (aka Mama G),
where they robbed a bank and fully armed
with AK-47.
Continuing, the ‘Abuja Connection’ act
talked about how her colleagues relate with
her after she became born again.
She said, “I remember years ago when I
gave my life to God, my colleagues were
laughing at me. ‘Your mates are busy doing
aristo, your mates are busy seeing
governors, your mates are busy going to
the clubs in Victoria Island, Ikeja, and
everywhere, you sey na church you wan
go’.
“They used to say that ‘something is wrong
with Eucharia’. ‘Can you imagine with all
her degrees, and doctorate in waiting, na
to go church?’
But today, by the grace of God, where I sit
they can’t sit; where I go they can’t go. I sit
with governors and presidents not for
aristo, and not for someone to take me to a
corner of a room to sleep with me.
“I am not among the superstars they would
say, ‘that one get good shape, go corner
her for hotel for me’ and they come and
meet you only in the night. They don’t
need to take me to any corner of the room
through Personal Assistant.
“They call me to the lobby of the governor
or president’s chapel to pray and declare
the word of God Almighty. And when I am
done, they shake my hands and say, ‘lay
hands on me,” the 51-year-old movie star
added.
