I grew up watching Nkem Owohās Osuofia films. We had so many of his films back home and a lot of his famous lines are still stuck in my head. Filming a fit check with the amazing āCall Of My Lifeā stars that has the legend in it feels very important to me lol. āCall Of My Lifeā is showing nationwide in cinemas from today!
Shot and edited by me.
Iāve been thinking a lot about the concept of marriage and how a large part of it is making a clear-headed decision to be with someone despite the numerous valid fears tied to co-existing. I believe love and marriage are the greatest shows of faith. You walk into something so blindly, hoping and praying that the other person never stops holding you, never stops seeing you.
My thoughts about marriage led to the question I asked a close friend mid-conversation, āWhat scares you the most about marriage?ā My question and her answer made me think deeply about my fears when it comes to marriage, and I decided to write a few down in my latest essay titled āWhat scares me about marriageā.
Love and marriage are such huge risks. You have to make a conscious decision to trust and hope that the other person has as much faith in you as you do in them.

My life is only as good as I imagine it to be.
Iāve been so nervous about a lot of things lately, mostly about the future, sometimes the present. In the past week, it occurred to me that I havenāt been truly seeing. I stumbled upon the story of the blind beggar who called out to Jesus and received his sight when he told Jesus he wanted to see. In that moment I got a deeper, different meaning of āsightā. Sight could mean vision, the ability to dream, to create worlds in my mind that manifest. It occurred to me that your eyes could be working perfectly well, but you might lack the ability to see.
Over and over again, the words āas far as you can seeā kept replaying in my head. I knew it was from the bible but I couldnāt remember where. I googled it and saw it was about Abraham. God told him, āLook around from where you are, to the north and the south, to the east and the west. all the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring.ā
God told him to look from āwhere he wasā, knowing that where he was was very tiny compared to where he was asking him to look at, compared to where he was taking him to, where he was giving to him. And He asked him to look at even places he had never treaded before ā to the north and south, to the east and west. Every cardinal point of the earth. And this affirmed for me that I do not have to be on a big platform to dream and manifest, I do not have to have been at every point of the earth to take them for possession. I simply have to see. I simply have to open my eyes and look at it all. The evidence of my sight is my ability to dream.
