Clarion Chukwurah Now A Jehovah Witness
This will come as
a rude shock to many of her fans that top Nollywood actress, Clarion Chukwurah has abandoned her faith and converted to a new one. The newly married actress of 51 years has joined the Jehovah witness. This, it was gathered, is her husband, Anthony Boyd’s religion and thus since she is married to him, she has converted to his faith. The couple even shared photos of them in their meeting .
The veteran thespian shared her photo and that of her husband on her Facebook after meeting and captioned it: “an instructive meeting on Sunday at the Kingdom Hall towards Baptism and Evangelisation Ministry as Jehovah Witnesses”
The actress and Boyd tied the knot in March in the United States. She is the mother of renowned video director, Clarence Peters. Chukwurah had been married twice before, to Tunde Abiola (MKO Abiola’s younger brother) and Femi Odeneye and she had Clarence for Juju musician Sir Shina Peters.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
