My Mother Felt Bad When I Started Plaiting My Hair – Nollywood Actor

Actor Brown Igboegwu bares it all in this exclusive; he talks about his wife, his accidental entry into Nollywood and his family’s reaction when he started acting.
Browny Igboegwu
“I found myself in Nollywood by accident. I never intended to act,” he told This Day.
The actor said he got into the field by chance and hasn’t regretted his move.
Igboegwu explained that he was in Asaba to hang with his friends on his birthday and so ran into a movie crew on the night.
“Then we stopped by to watch them,” he said. He later ran into a member of the production crew in the course of watching and it turned out they had known from way back.
Somehow, luck smiled on him and he got a slot to play a role or two on the night and he hasn’t stopped ever since.
“I played [my role] properly and I was paid a huge amount of money. I was shocked because I didn’t know actors were well paid.
“I just told my friends that I have found myself a very good business. That was how I became an actor,” he said in the This Day exclusive.
Igboegwu is known for his ‘bad boy’ role in movies but this doesn’t interfere with his romantic side.
He said this of his wife: She is a very caring woman, intelligent, God fearing, generous and honest. I mean she is a mother, a friend, a companion and somebody who can stand by you in any situation, most especially when you are in trouble. She is my strength.  Any time I need her she is there for me. That was the first thing that got me attracted to her. And when I went deeper, I discovered she is a wonderful person that cannot be let go; so I married her.”
It hasn’t been an easy journey for the Anambra native but expressed joy in the level he’s reached today, even as he hoped for greater success.
The actor recounts the hurdles he had to scale before his mother became convinced that he was meant to be an actor.
She was uncomfortable with his hairstyles, even as his siblings also joined in questioning his motives for acting after successfully completing a university education.
“When I started acting, my father was already late and my mother was not comfortable with it, especially when I started plaiting my hair. She was asking when I started such stuff. Sometimes, when some girls come to our compound to make my hair, she will be sort of upset. But when it started going out well she was forced to start liking I,” he said.
Brown Ifeanyi ‘Browny’ Igboegwu, 39, is a Nollywood actor and businessman. He began his acting career in 2005 with the movie Expensive Error.
He graduated from the University of Nigeria where he read Public Administration and International Relations.

Segun Arinze Slams Emeka Ike Over His Claim As AGN President, Says He Should Stop Doing Nonsense

seg
In a new chat with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Rubbin Minds, veteran Nollywood  actor, Segun Arinze slammed Emeka Ike.
Segun said Emeka should stop doing nonsense because he’s not the AGN President.
Arinze said,
“Let’s get the facts straight. President Muhammadu Buhari came on the platform of APC, went through nominations, he ran against former president of the country and became president of Nigeria. How would we have felt if he came out and started saying he is the president of Nigeria, he takes the Quran and swear that he is the president of Nigeria. There will be chaos and the country is divided. That was what Emeka Ike did.  
I was president of the guild, duly elected in Port Harcourt and succeeded Ejike Asiegbu. All the State Chapters came to Port Harcourt, where we had this election and I became the president. He had an intention, because there was a division then between Ejike and Board of trustees so aligned with the. When I came I brought everybody together and he was told to become the Vice President. I told him after my tenure, he can go through the proper procedure and go in for the office.
“We made him Vice President South East, he said no he wanted to be president. He went to Adeniran Ogunsanya took Bible, Holy book of God and started swearing, without buying a form, going through screening or anything. Emeka should wake up and stop all these nonsense. He should grow up Ibinabo Fiberesima is the bonafide president.
“Even in the judgment that came out recently telling us to return to status quo, what does it mean? We were told to go back to the way we were. There was no time Emeka Ike was pronounced the president of AGN. Let him bring out the copy of the judgment and show us if he is man enough. He should wake up and stop embarrassing the guild.”
