Actress Rukky Sanda - ''I Don’t Care About Nigeria’s Bad Situations Because I’m Living Large''
The
Lagos State-born Nollywood actress/producer, who reportedly twisted her
real name, Rukayat Adesanya, to Rukky Sanda, is not new to
controversies just like some of her pal colleagues.
Even
though she is not one of the busiest actresses in the Nigerian movie
industry or her self-produced movie known to be a blockbusting film, she
is one of the celebrities in the country who lives in one of the
highbrow areas of Lagos and also cruises around with an expensive car,
which some of the veterans in the industry can’t boast of or have hope
of acquiring.
Though
Nigerians go through many challenges caused by poor leadership, which
has continually failed to make life worth living well for its citizens,
the entertainment industry has provided a cushion for many Nigerians to
rely on when they need to get cheered up. Little wonder most Nigerians
care much about those who entertain them and give them something to
cheer about.
That
could explain the criticisms some Nigerian celebrities faced during the
January 2012 Occupy Nigeria protest when some of them threw their
weights behind the Federal Government on fuel subsidy.
Speaking
with newsmen in an exclusive interview (conducted on October 1, 2012,
in Lagos), when asked what she would like God to do for the country if
given the opportunity by the Creator to make such request, Rukky Sanda
stated that she will asked God to make Nigeria fair, but noted that she
isn’t complaining about the bad situation of the country since she is
living large.
In
her words, “I pray that the country would be fair.” When asked to
explain what she meant by Nigeria being fair, Rukky explained that, “I
can’t complain (of the bad situations in the country) because I have a
good life, I am lucky [for that] and I thank God [for that also], but I
pray that the less privileged ones get what they want.”
