Blossom Chukwujekwu still relishes the
role that he played in Omoni Oboli’s
new movie, Okafor ’s Law. For movie
fans who have not seen the film yet,
the actor played the part of a randy
fellow known as the Terminator.
The award - winning Nollywood actor,
in an interview with our
correspondent , describes the character
as the vintage audacious young man
who believes that since some women
crave physical pleasure always, it is
his natural duty to give them what
they want .
“ The Terminator’ s real name is Chuks
Okafor. He is the type of man you
would love to hate . When you are
having a conversation with him, you
know he is trouble . But you just can ’ t
resist the charm. He is the type that
your mother warned you about .
“ You know this one just finds the
validation of his manhood in the
number of women that he has slept
with and you are about to be the next
victim . Yet , you wouldn ’t mind . It is
quite easy to judge him based on his
tendencies , but he actually has a heart .
So he makes a bet with two of his
friends to sleep with three women
from his past , ” he said .
Although the role was quite
challenging, Blossom said that he had
no problem fitting into it. “ I think
every role is challenging in itself.
Playboy roles are a regular in our
industry so making Terminator stand
out might have been it but with God
challenges are bread for me ,” he said .
Interestingly, the actor admitted that
before the movie was shot , he had no
idea that the phrase ‘Okafor ’ s Law’
was a popular street lingo in Lagos.
But this does not mean that he believes
that it exists .
He said , “ I don ’t believe it exists . Why?
It is because women are not
commodities for sexual gratification . I
personally think that if a woman
decides to sleep with a man for the
second time , it may be for other
reasons than the fact that the sex was
great. Women are deeper than that. If
she decides to do it, it is because of
other factors other than just sex .”
However , the actor confessed that he
enjoyed working with other members
of the cast , as well as with Omoni
Oboli herself and Richard Mofe -
Damijo.
Asked if it was a coincidence that he
had often been casted for roles that
required him to ‘ torture ’ women in the
past , he replied, “ I am an actor and
what I do is imitating life . We are
interpreters of truth . Maybe if I played
a mad man you’d probably ask if there
is a trace of madness in my family .
The roles I decide to play are based on
scripts.”
