Some people think we get paid 10 million for acting - Queen Nwokoye @QueenNwokoye

Queen Nwokoye has blamed people’s expectation as the reason why Nollywood actors/actresses go broke. Image result for Queen Nwokoye twitter

Speaking with Broadway Africa TV, Queen says:

I don’t think it is because they are being extravagant, how many people are to begin with? The truth of the matter is a lot of people are known faces but they are not actually making the type of money people think they make.

Then again, it is an individual thing, it is either you are here or you are there but the truth is a lot of people don’t make that kind of money they think we have.
Some people think we get paid 10 million for acting {laughs} so a lot of times, actors want to live up to false expectations from their fans and that is how they get into trouble.
As far as I am concerned, if you are paid in Nigeria and you want a Gucci bag and you convert your Naira to dollars to go and buy it because Kim Kardashian is carrying it, it doesn’t make sense because she earns dollars.
So for me it is not about being extravagant, everybody loves the good things of life but you have to draw a balance. It is about not truly making that huge amount that actors and actresses make.”

On trading her stardom for her privacy, she says:

“We enjoy the stardom and attention but sometimes you just want to walk past unnoticed and just be yourself but I wouldn’t give this up for anything in the world. I love it and appreciate it.”

I told my friends to stop sending me pictures of when they see me at the bus stop in London or something. @AdichieSpeaks

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is the new face of No7, a make-up brand owned by Boots, UK’s leading pharmacy-led health and beauty retailer.

In an interview with New York Times, when asked if she considered make-up an entry point to a wider audience, she replied:

‘I decided to do this No7 thing because I thought it might be fun, and then they will give me free makeup. And I’m always up for free things. It wasn’t a carefully calculated thing. It was actually just my being blinded by the selfish overwhelming love of makeup. But I have to be honest, there were times when I thought, ‘Well, what have I done?’ I wasn’t quite aware of how many pictures of me would be out there. It makes me feel a little vulnerable. I told my friends to stop sending me pictures of when they see me at the bus stop in London or something. It’d be very dishonest to say it’s all wonderful. It’s not so much a question of regret. But it does come with feelings of vulnerability that can be uncomfortable.’

The full interview is on New York Times.

Jesus Christ's tomb opened for 1st time in 500 years

The shrine which housed the tomb where Jesus Christ ’s body lay for 3 days after his crucifixion has been opened.The tomb’s marble lid has been removed for the first time in 5 centuries.

The tomb has been sealed in marble at least 1555 to protect it from pilgrims who kept stealing pieces as holy relics.

Archaeologist Fredrik Hiebert of National Geographic, which was a partner in the project, says:

“The most amazing thing for me was when we removed the first layer of dust and found a second piece of marble.

“This one was grey, not creamy white like the exterior, and right in the middle of it was a beautifully inscribed cross. We had no idea that was there.The shrine has been destroyed many times by fire, earthquakes, and invasions over the centuries. We didn’t really know if they had built it in exactly the same place every time.
“But this seems to be visible proof that the spot the pilgrims worship today really is the same tomb the Roman Emperor Constantine found in the 4th century and the Crusaders revered. It’s amazing.
“When we realised what we had found my knees were shaking a little bit.”

Where Jesus was laid

Fredrik adds:

“They let the patriarchs of the three churches go in first. They came out with big smiles on their face. Then the monks went in and they were all smiling.
“We were all getting really curious. Then we went in, looked into the tomb, and saw a lot of rubble. So it wasn’t empty, even though there were no artefacts or bones.”
