Not many people know that provocative dark-skinned Nollywood
beauty, Adediwura Adesegha, nicknamed ‘Blarkgold’ started her acting career
with a religious group known as the Evangelical Filmmakers Dramatic
Association of Nigeria (EFDAN). She used to move around with them, acting from
one church to another but proximity made her leave the group.
“I had to withdraw from the group when I changed my environment
and couldn’t meet up with their meetings. Yes, I was criticized when I left
because some thought I backslid by leaving them. As a Christian actor you are
not supposed to wear earrings and all those stuff. I am here today and they are
appreciating me for what I do because they haven’t seen signs of a
Christian who has backslided in me,” she once told Potpourri in an interview.
Speaking further about spirituality and religion, the mother of
one, shed light on why many Yoruba actors, especially the females, prefer
attending Celestial churches.
“You know people love it when they tell them visions about
themselves. I think that may be the reason they attend Celestial
churches. I might be wrong though. You know the Yorubas believe in the power of
the spiritual. Some actresses were born into the Celestial church while some
joined,” she said.
Talking about her own level of spirituality, given the kind of
background she came from and the lifestyle she has chosen for herself , she
said she would score herself fifty percent
“Spirituality has nothing to do with your mode of dressing. It
has to do with your heart. When you talk about being spiritual, let me just
score myself fifty percent. My morning devotion is on zero level. I will rather
sing. I find it difficult to pray and keep saying “Lord do this or that for
me”.Singing is the way I pour my heart to God. Everybody doesn’t have to kneel
down and pray. I might sit down and just look on a spot for a while and keep my
thoughts connected to God. It depends on one’s way of connecting and your
relationship with God.
