Don’t Be Afraid To Live Your Life – Beautiful Nubia
Claasical and folk-oriented musician, Segun Akinlolu, famously known as ‘Beautiful Nubia’ has generally admonished that people should be strong and perseverant to face and deal with the struggles and challenges of life.
Beautiful Nubia, who is a ‘veterinary doctor turned musician’ and 56-yrs old, also urged Nigerians not to be fearful of death when fighting for the truth.
In his words: “Don’t be afraid of death. It will come to us all. But may we enjoy a long, rich life before our time is up.”
“Don’t be afraid to step out of the shackles of religion. It breeds that fear, ignorance and small-mindedness that narrow our horizons. Don’t be afraid to grow beyond that ethnic cocoon. Yes, you’re proudly Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, etc. But you are more than that! You’re bigger than that. Way bigger than that.”
“Don’t be afraid to love, to live, to be free, to embrace joy in all its forms. Don’t get stuck in that unending rat race for money and material things. Don’t let your early childhood poverty colour your life and choices; let go of it.”
“Don’t get sucked into seeing life as a war zone. But speak up against injustice. Fight for Truth. Seek the joy and progress of the community. Be a true blessing to all.”
“Don’t be afraid. Be free and strong. Be of courage. Be Beautiful” – he concluded.
Living fearlessly is a good pattern of living, as it enables the capacity to explore and engage potentials for the achievement of an excellent and great life. Not allowing fear to be a stopper in the course of living life, creates an atmosphere for being confident in achieving dreams and goals in life. Beautiful Nubia’s admonition is a good call to heed to, so as to experience life in a more positive magnitude.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
