Saint Obi On Why He Quit Acting, Politics & The State Of The Nation

 
Renowned Actor, Saint Obi says people should continue to give President Goodluck Jonathan the chance to steer the affairs of the country.

The Actor cum business man stated this in a recent interview with ‘Yes magazine’.
The ‘candle light’ soap opera star said, “People castigate me for supporting him, but I make no apologies. To me, President Goodluck Jonathan is a project of hope, a mission for justice, equity and fair play. I will forever stand with the oppressed, the marginalized.  President Goodluck Jonathan, without a doubt is a good man that mean well for all Nigerians, but dark forces are bent on crippling his Presidency.”


“Politics goes beyond dog eat dog. It is a game of master chess players. Swimming against a 20 feet ocean wave is an act in futility.  Ask Mallam Balarabe Musa, former Governor of old Kaduna State; a great Nigerian that meant well for his people, but he got consumed by forces beyond him. Above all, he got impeached based on the principles of democracy: majority will always have their way. All the good things he wanted to do for the good people of Kaduna State, gone. President Goodluck Jonathan’s detractors paint him as weak; on the contrary, he is a very strong and smart man.” he further said.

On why he has not been featuring in movies of recent he said, "well, as you journey through life, you get to a point where you ask yourself some tough but radical questions. I sat down, and had my usual rare deep one on one with God and decided to take a break from the entertainment industry. The splash a diver makes at low diving level is far less than when the dive is from a higher plane. I decided it was time to take a very deep dive into the next level of my career, business strategies and objectives. So, I might have been quiet, but I have been very loud with ground breaking visionary strides.
