Dropping Out Of School For Acting Is Not A Good Idea – Actress Hope Samuel
Actress Hope Samuel has candidly expressed her thought as regards education and the acting career. Although, to the creative actress and movie producer, acting holds a precious spot – as she has done just about everything regarding the craft, including making a significant mark as a producer in the movie industry.
But despite her passion and special love for the acting career, she had stated that pursuing a career in acting shouldn’t be at the expense of every other thing in anyone’s life, especially education.
Thus, she frowns at the fact that some girls drop out of school to pursue a career in acting, saying that it is a wrong choice that could have dire consequences in the future.
In her words: “Aspiring to make a living in the movie industry should not be a do-or-die affair. I don’t believe in young girls dropping out of school and messing themselves up because they want to be movie stars. Go to school hold onto something as a graduate and then you can join the queue in the industry.”
“I started producing and acting professionally in 2003. It wasn’t easy for me in my early days. My kids were still little, so l had to stop acting and producing to attend to issues. I came back in 2013, though it’s not being rosy, I believe we will get there.”
Hope Samuel, who is now a renowned actress and movie producer, also revealed that she came into the industry as a married woman and mother; however, she is also an entrepreneur and motivational speaker.
As a producer, she had displayed her prowess in the productions of movies such as ‘Household Murder’, ‘Broken Home’, ‘Love/SACRIFICE’, ‘Domestic Chaos’, ‘Locked’, ‘Christmas Holiday’, ‘Akawo’, ‘Nurses on Duty’, ‘Nuns Secrets’, and many others.
She has also acted in many movies, including ‘Sweet Candy’, ‘The Love I Found’, ‘My Rich Girlfriend’, ‘Kiki’s Dilemma’ amongst others.

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.
