Veteran Nigerian actor Hanks Anuku has given reasons he relocated to Ghana from Nigeria.
He is however quick to note that although he has been to some other countries and might have been linked with hard roles in movies, he does not engage in anything criminal, like robberies.
Anuku was one of the pioneers of Nollywood, with a legacy of thrilling roles that helped grow the industry.
He has, however, been away from Nigeria and the scene for several years.
Speaking with BBC Igbo, the actor said he stayed in Ghana because it’s easy to work there and the country is more organised.
Hanks Anuku said:
“What made me leave Nigeria was that, sometimes, one gets bored. I have lived in England, the US, in Italy. A lot has happened with me since the 90s.
“I found Ghana more organised. I don’t have time to condemn anyone but the electricity in that country is stable there and I liked it. It was also easy to work there and progress. That’s the truth.”
Anuku also admitted that although he made mistakes before his departure he was never involved in any shady business.
“I’ve travelled far and wide. I am content with what I have. I don’t do robberies, apart from the ones I act in the movies.
