WELCOME...
Today is Easter Sunday! It
arrives this year amidst the
COVID-19 pandemic with many
of us quarantined to our homes.
For the first time, the fanfare
and festivities that usually
characterise this important
festival in the Christian calendar,
that is a foundation of the
Christian faith, are no where to
be seen.
However, COVID-19 or not, the sacrifice Jesus
Christ made by laying down his life as the sacrificial
lamb to pay for the sins of mankind is not lost on
those who believe; as the resurrection being
commemorated today, gives victory over eternal
separation from God (death).
Easter is about sacrifices and the hope that is
kindled knowing that loss leads to something new.
Our cover personality, Williams Uchemba is quite
familiar with making sacrifices for the good of the poor
and less privileged in our society. He does this
wherever he finds himself. While many see his efforts
as good deed, giving to this former child actor is a
calling. He shares his inspiring story on this
resurrection morning.
If there is one time we all need help, that time is
now. Do lend a helping hand
J . E
and stay safe.
Happy Easter!

INTERVIEW
Williams Uchemba:
The Nollywood Philanthropist
Words By - Rita Okoye
He needs no introduction in the Nigerian
movie industry. The child actor we once
knew, has become an accomplished movie
producer, model, comedian, philanthropist,
entrepreneur, motivational speaker and an actor
with bias for comedy.
The multiple award-winning entertainer who has
starred in such great movies as Sugar Rush and
Merry Men 2, became more popular with his “Give
Challenge,” that inspires people around the world
to give alms to the poor and physically challenged.
This he does through his NGO, the Williams
Uchemba Foundation. Through this organisation,
he has successfully fed, clothed and housed
hundreds of Nigerians, lifting them from misery
and despondency. As Christians celebrate Easter
today and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for the
sake of humanity, Allure spoke with William
Uchemba who is not unfamiliar with the act of
giving.
This was what the International Relations
graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka
(UNN) said.
You started out as a child actor and grew before our
very eyes. How has that journey been for you?
It has been amazing. I got into the industry at the age of
8. It’s my 22nd year in the industry. At a point, I took a break,
travelled out of the country to focus on my academics. Yeah,
it has been a great journey so far.
Were there older actors who took you under their
wings?
I wouldn’t say I was personally mentored by anyone, but
their various works inspired me to do more. I remember the
first movie I did with Pete Edochie, who is a great, living
legend of our time, I was overwhelmed with enthusiasm. He
inspired me quite a lot along with others on that production
set; Clems Ohameze, Hilda Dokubo and others.
How did you cope with acting and schooling at that
time?
It wasn’t easy, it really affected so much of my Junior and
Senior secondary level. That was why I cut down production
during my time at UNN. I believe anything worth doing is
worth doing well, so I decided to give it my all.
How did you find your niche in the comedy industry?
It wasn’t planned, as a matter of fact, I have always been
funny to the best of my knowledge. We are just a funny
family. My dad, siblings, I never for once thought of taking it
out of comfort zone outside. Because of my ‘status’, I thought
when I go out there, I need to be cool as an actor. But when
I realized the power of being yourself, it changed everything.
I started comedy when I was in California. I just tried out
a video and people loved it and kept reposting. It got a lot of
views.
One day, I received a message in my DM (Direct
Message) from a woman who requested to speak with me.
When she called, she was crying, saying ‘Thank you so
much, you don’t know what you have done for us’.
She said her dear mother has been sick with cancer for
over 6 months and she has not seen any reason to smile
not until she came across my comedy and she has been
laughing all through. That it got everyone emotional and they
thought they should call and thank me. That was when I
realized that this is not just what I do for Art but a ministry,
especially in Nigeria where you have a lot of people who are
going through so much. The least I can do is to release
stress by humour. They say laughter is a good medicine.
People call me a comedian but I prefer to be called an actor,
because an actor can make you cry, make you laugh, can
play around and that is what I consider myself to be.
You have touched so many lives with your philanthropy.
What inspired this?
I have always been a compassionate person. But the
“Give Challenge” project which brought me to the limelight,
started in 2017 when I came back to Nigeria from the US. I
was driving home from the airport and while I was on the
Lekki express road, I saw a man in his mid 60s. I could tell
his age because he was like my father’s age. He was selling
this N50 ice cream and there was a traffic. So, I saw him
chasing this particular car to sell to them but the traffic
started moving and the vehicle started moving faster.
Suddenly, he missed a step and fell into a car lane and an
incoming bus who I believe wasn’t paying attention, hit and
crushed him. He was killed on the spot and his blood spilled
on his Ice scream. it was a sight I never thought I would see
in my entire life. What really broke my heart was that this
man didn’t die because he was caught stealing, or doing
anything contrary to the law. He died trying to make ends
meet for his family; and the thought that his wife and kids
were probably waiting at home for daddy to bring back
money for food, not knowing that daddy had died was
something I couldn’t get over. When I got home, I couldn’t
eat or sleep. The picture was on my mind. The next day, I
went out and saw a lot of people in the market because it
was Christmas period.
The thought of that dead man was still in my head. I saw
another man selling Christmas lights, I had dollars with me
then, I haven’t changed to Naira. I gave the man $60 dollars
or so. I said to him, you can take the money, I don’t want to
buy lights just leave the road. He was like, “oga God bless
you”. What was on my mind at that point, was that I didn’t
want another vehicle to hit him.
At that time, I had about 1.2 million followers and
obviously, I’m not that rich to help everybody. So, I decided
4
/ April 12, 2020

INTERVIEW
to do what I now call “A Give Challenge Project and Tour”. I
said, if I can give one person and post on my page, and
encourage people to do same, if 10 percent of 1.2 million do
same, I’m not only getting one person but about a 120
thousand people off the street. That was what started the
“Give Challenge Project”. At that time, I gave to the extent
that I almost gave out my flight ticket to go back to the US. I
just realized something else happened when you start giving
in that capacity. I was giving and I wasn’t getting broke. That
was what inspired my giving.
How do you cope with the deep emotions that go with
the individuals you help?
I always say to myself that it could be me. These are
people who work harder than myself in Nigeria that are still
living in horrible state. I always put myself in people’s
situation; when I don’t like what I see, then I do something
about it and get this person off such predicament. The
smiles on their faces does it all for me. That’s why one of the
foundation slogans is ‘Put a smile on someone’s face’.
When I see those smiles, it means that my mission is
accomplished.
In spite of the good work you are doing, some people
have criticized your efforts as being exhibitionist
because you film them. How do you deal with that?
There’s actually nothing you do that people won’t talk
about. It would shock you to know that the people I help off
camera, are more than 90% of what you see me do on
camera. It is my lifestyle. I wake up every morning, say a
prayer, asking God to let my path cross with people who
really need money. I hold up to N100 - 200,000 in my pocket
not that I’m going to buy anything but because I know I
would meet people who would need it. I have learnt not
to think of what people would say. As long as my
mind and My God is pleased with it, I’m okay.
Besides, if people don’t don’t talk about you, then
you are not doing something right. How to know if
you are doing something right is when you get
criticism.
Does it weigh you down?
As a matter of fact it does not, but it can be
overwhelming. What I am doing is an instruction
from God. I have never seen myself lacking, or
not being able to help people. But now, there is
need for collaboration. What I do now is, if I put
a project out there, I ask people if they want to
partner with me or supply. Like right now, in
this COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, I am
sending food to people who were not able to
stock up their houses. I am trying to get food for
1,000 people. If I have other people who want
to add something, then there’s now a need for
me to collaborate and partner with them.
How do you get funds to push your
philanthropic projects?
All you see me do, is from my projects,
business, film. I believe that when God gives you
money, he doesn’t expect you to spend the whole
100%. Yes, 10% goes to him, you can keep 25%,
but the rest is not for you. You need to look for a
channel to do God’s work. People are praying but
God can’t come down to give people money. He
needs human beings to give the money. But
humans are greedy, when he gives you the money,
you think it’s for you to consume. I have a written
covenant with God that as long as funds keep
coming in, I know the work I’m going to do with it,
not just charity but Kingdom investment; building
churches, National projects, International
projects, going to places that need basic
amenities to supply things for them. This is why
we are human beings. People don’t care how
much money you have or what you posses, but
they want to know how you make their lives
better. That’s why when a person dies, they
only talk about the good works he had done.
That’s the real reason we should live and exist.
Easter season is here, a time to give, what are
your plans for the poor and needy?
I think it’s a time to remember what Jesus did for us
on the cross- Love and love is giving. I don’t really have
anything in mind but if I’m in a good place to do something, I
would. Most times situation presents itself and I just flow with
it. Like this Covid-19, nobody saw it coming. It is costing me
millions to feed people.
You are quite close to AY? How does he inspire you and
what made you buy him a phone?
AY is not only a friend but a big brother. I am the first son
and he’s the first son. His parents passed on when he was
young, mine are still alive, but I never had any elder brother
to look up to just like him. Aside that, we have a lot in
common, we think alike. We don’t like too much attention,
our morals are straight. We don’t like vulgar words. There
are so much, we just connect, work ethics etc. He’s a great
guy. He is amazing. He could empty his pocket to help you
not minding how he would get home.
Having a good spirit and a clean spirit is also one of the
I have learnt not
to think of what
people would
say. As long as
my mind and
My God is
pleased with it.
things that attracted me to him. AY is a brother and a friend. I
appreciate him.
How is the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the
entertainment industry?
It’s not only the Entertainment industry, it’s affecting
everything. But musicians and comedians are
using the internet platforms, to reach
out to people and make them laugh.
My prayer is for everything to be over,
then we become stronger and better
people after this pandemic.
How do you keep body, mind and
spirit going staying at home?
The good thing is, I have
electricity, I have my phone. So
it’s not really too difficult. I
pray, I read, exercise and,
challenge myself do some
puzzles, tease the brain,
it’s been good for me.
How do you cope
with female
attention, ever
had a weird
experience
with a female
fan?
I love my
fans. But
some people
can be
insensitive.
Sometimes,
they see you in a
very serious
place, they just
come in and
interrupt you. I’m
used to it now.
How do you relax?
I like to worship. I put
on a worship song or
piano instrumental that
can play for 3 hours. I just
sit there and take it all in.
Also, I like to see movies, go
on Netflix, look for the ones that
are interesting, get a snack, sit in
front of my TV and relax.
Best holiday destination?
The thing about my work is that I get
to travel a lot. After, I tour a little and
that travel becomes a holiday.
What are your plans for the rest part of
the year?
Honestly speaking, my greatest desire
is for this COVID -19 to go away because
if it’s still here, all our plans wouldn’t be
achieved.

Coping And Bonding Sexually
@ Easter Lockdown
All of sudden, your love life seems to be in a lockdowndeprived
of its usual routine-privacy. Couples now endure
difficult situation in other to sustain their emotional and
physical relationships.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how we live, how
we work, how we congregate and how we experience touch
and intimacy to the extent that the World at large, has had
to renegotiate the common norms of social intimacy with
distancing measures that are daily increasing.
Suddenly, husband and wife are facing a new reality of
confinement at home against their will. They are also faced
with getting the children occupied, be able to cope with
stress while at the same time, trying to provide comfort and
reassurance for each other.
Create time to be alone with yourself, play games with
your partner, try new sex positions, and don’t forget about
your hygiene. Hug, reassure and give each other
massages. Below are great tips but might not work for
everyone.
It may be difficult for some couples to implement these
tips if they have young children at home to care for, children
with special needs or elderly parents to worry about. With
the threat of illness, loss of income and worries about the
future, can put people in survival mode, making it difficult to
relax at times, let alone meditate.
No two couples are the same, some are in healthy,
loving marriages and communicate well, while others are in
frequent conflict and fight, bicker regularly under normal
circumstances. Implementing behavioral tips in couples
who are experiencing distress, high anxiety, and conflict
most of the time, can trigger an already ongoing power
struggle.
Now you see that the solution to maintaining a healthy
loving relationship does not really lie in what you do, but
rather how you do it. This means stepping up with being
compassionate and caring, rather than arguing over whose
turn it is to wash the dishes. It means being self-aware and
communicating your feelings to your partner, rather than
internalizing them until you explode.
Maintaining intimacy during this lockdown is not about
how often you get to have sex, or what new positions to try.
It is about how each couple can adapt to the crisis by
coming together rather than moving apart. It is about taking
turns providing reassurance and comfort, as well as sharing
responsibility, taking care of children and performing
household chores. It also may mean reframing the meaning
of intimacy and sex.
Couples have different value to what sex mean to them;
sometimes it could be about physical pleasure while other
times, it’s about bonding and intimacy. Love making can be
about playfulness and recreation and it can even feel
spiritually uplifting, or a combination of all of the above.
For the singles that are dating someone new, just
continue to get to know them through Skype/ Face Time
calls with them. Conventional dates are not allowed though
there is no reason why you cannot learn about each other,
and build a bond that may even accelerate the relationship.
If you are trying to meet someone or planning to date once
this pandemic is all over, then make a list of what you want
to do and where you want to go.
If you happened to be in a monogamous relationship
and if you are living together and practicing self-isolation,
then there are not many better things to do than getting
down to some hanky-panky, since sex and pleasure are
much needed right now. Whereas in a long-distance
relationship, phone sex is a great way to pass time. All you
need to do is exercise more caution in whatever you do and
how you do it. Don’t go out and about on that date or use
your dating app to hook-up with someone for a night.
Corona virus does not mean we cannot experience
pleasure or have fun, just be mindful of others.
Loving in the time of covid-19 is a make or break
moment for couples. There is stress to contend with,
self-isolation, travel bans and in some places, there are
even lockdowns. If you are practicing social distancing or
14-day quarantine, the idea of being near your spouse may
be a little daunting. Here are some ways you can cope:
One of the reasons couples are having such a hard time
with the corona virus lockdowns is because of boredom.
Combat this by finding new ways to have a date night
inside, or on your back porch. Have some wine and ask
each other questions about life. Play games together, have
a candlelit dinner, cook a meal or share a bubble bath. Most
importantly, make time for romance. Sex is a great way to
keep your emotional intimacy strong during all of this
Lockdown chaos. The cuddle hormone has been shown to
promote bonding between partners, and lowers stress and
anxiety and if there was ever a time that married couples
need to de-stress, it’s now.
Just because you’re in quarantine with your partner
doesn’t mean you have to spend all of your time together.
Try staying apart. Go into a different room in the house, and
practice self-care, read a book, watch YouTube, write a
story, play an instrument – do hobbies that you love that
makes you feel good. These things make you happier,
which makes you a better person for your partner.
Being able to spend time alone doing your own thing is a
key ingredient to a healthy relationship. Don’t think that just
because you’re on lockdown that you can’t call a friend or
spend time away from your spouse. When you do, you’ll
feel even more appreciative of your partner when you do
come back together.
If you and your spouse don’t live together, or you are in a
long-distance relationship, lockdown may seem especially
long for you. Here are some essential tips on how to survive
the Corona virus without your partner by your side.
If your partner lives far away or in another country, it can
be heart-wrenching to think that you won’t get to see them
for a while. But remember to do your part and listen to the
government’s advice not to travel – even if your partner is
only a few hours away. This is for the health and safety of
not just yourself but, your loved ones as well. Chat with your
spouse daily by phone, video chat and keep the lines of
communication open.
Stressed couples should not allow stress and fear take
over their lives. Another way Covid-19 can affect
relationships is by letting the fear and panic, take over your
happiness. If you feel that you’re starting to obsess over the
pandemic, try doing the following.
*Communicating your feelings with your partner is
essential for keeping the love alive, and not losing your
mind during this scary time. Spending less time on social
media, if possible, shut it down as it can contribute to
depression.
Living and loving at this time of the pandemic can be
scary and stressful at times. Note that this is not permanent,
it will soon become history but your love doesn’t have to be.

Waje Says One
Naira Not Enough aT
Present Age
Waje has revealed that after 10
years of singing One Naira which is
about undying love for your partner

has grown to no longer see that
as the case. In an Instagram Live
session, the music artiste stated that
when you’re in your twenties, it is
okay to struggle and build with your
partner but at her present age which
is almost forty, she has to thin off
millions and billions because she’s
no longer in that stage where she’s
building from scratch with any man.
She ended singing
“Whether it’s twelve billion, baby
