‘I Found Christ’ – Charles Okafor On Why He’s Been Off The Scene

Incase you've been wondering where actor Charles Okafor has been all these while, no need to worry any more, he's finally broken his silence.

In a chat with The Entertainer, Charles said he's been off bcos
he found Christ.

Charles said:

I've been lying low for a while because I diverted into
Advocacy and human-angle films as a consequence of my
new found faith. I'm still a career actor and a film maker
but I am mindful of the scripts I do.

A time come in the life of any professional when he seats
back and takes stock of his professional issues and the
legacy he wants to leave behind from the spiritual
standpoint of view.

You cannot just do any kind of film anymore if you're
going to be the light to the nations of the world. We must
be seen in the context of the things that glorify God in
totality.

I'm driven to do advocacy films because they address
social issues, human angle and spiritual issues that borders
on the kingdom. That explains why I might not be as
visible as I was some years back.

You see, you cannot eat your cake and still have it. You
cannot serve God and serve Marmon. You must clearly
define where you stand. I have put my hands to the plow
so I shouldn't look back but that does not remove the fact
that I'm still a career actor and film maker,"
