The way my brain notified me and my reaction was more like ahh, newsletter o, consistent Nana you can’t disappoint.
I had a different topic in mind but this is perfect for today.
A message from my friend this evening read: Congratulations on Femi’s interview!!!!!! (Femi Adebayo)
Shalaye: Daily Trust, where I work had the opportunity to have Femi Adebayo on our Twitter space to discuss his nollywood career and his latest movie JAGUN JAGUN, which I co-hosted.
After the space, my energy was a bit low, I think it didn’t go as scripted, lol.
Very similar like the interview with the Senate President, I had prep and rehearsed and ready to give my best, but these are are somethings in common.
-It doesn’t always go as planned.
The internet connection of the host’s became very bad and we had to re start the space four times and thankfully the fourth time, it was stable.
I became worked up and had to take deep breaths then just go ahead.
Started with the introduction and it felt something was missing, (in my head) I was unnecessarily worried.
-They are big guest and you have the moment to give it your best or you miss it.
During the interview with the Senate President, I had a script but when he entered the studio with crowds and cameras just flashing in my eyes, especially with the hastiness, I just had to get into it, omo I didn’t use my script o, almost similar with today’s interview.
Well, I got positive feedbacks and I wonder, why am I being extra hard on myself please?
I am doing great, it is a win, It feels good, it is an achievement in my career and to think of it, I am building guest lists of notable individuals I have interviewed.
Now a reminder to myself and you.
It won’t always go your way
You are doing great
There will always be things beyond your control, take charge of the one you can control.
Nana, there are still many more big guests, you’ll keep doing great.
Bask in the euphoria-Be proud of yourself star girl.
I asked Femi Adebayo how he came about the names in JAGUN JAGUN as he said it was born out of the characters and the role they played, interestingly.
He also mentioned that the movie idea was birthed as a result of what we experience in our society, the youth and the bad governance we experience.
Listen to the space recording here: recording
He said we should anticipate a love movie from him soon, sometime next year,.
He also mentioned for SISI Youtube series lovers, he has been very busy and not had time to shoot but we should expect more of the series.
Lastly, I learnt from him that you should give your best, like your very best in whatever you are doing. Greatness can’t hide itself.
My Role Model Oprah Winfey says something: If you go to Starbucks to get coffee and you're being attended to very nicely, you will always go back to that person who does s/he job greatly and not someone who treats you badly.
We all can notice good things.
I hope we take the lessons.
Have you seen JAGUN JAGUN, Let me know what you think of the movie, lets discuss it together in the comment section. If you’re yet to, i think you should
Expect a sequel of JAGUN JAGUN according to Femi Adebayo. Ibrahim Chatta was there for a reason, lol.
