Akume Akume has been in the nollywood scene for quite sometime now and
has branched into music, fashion designs and is currently launching a
new project to create awareness and fight Prostate cancer. In an
exclusive interview with me he shares more on this new project and
further revealed how the journey has been so far.
How did this project come about?
Akume Akume: It all started when we got talking with some friends about
prostate cancer and discovered the need for a popular face to lead and
create awareness on the dangers and effects of this disease. Considering
I lost my Dad to this devastating condition I stand at a better
position to share my battles and offer solutions from a different angle.

Tell us about how you combine being an actor, fashion person and this new project all in one?
Akume Akume: Fashion for me starts with being an actor therefore you
need to have a good dress sense that expresses your personality. I have a
clothing line called Cloths & Akume that is really wonderful
because we custom style you. Actually before delving into acting I
started out as a runway model and have been privileged to do a few jobs
with some renown fashionist within abuja and lagos, I was also the face
of Nigeria at 50.
This is a big project how do you get funding?
Akume Akume: Am using my talent to raise funds thereby using some of my
proceeds from movie making,it also comes from my fashion house and not
forgetting assistance from my family and friends abroad and some few
individuals who are helping to make this a reality. I am also calling on
well meaning nigerians to help create awareness and support this
project.
I am also a member of Fighting Male Cancer(FMC) which basically deals
with prostate cancer and was made the ambassador of the group, thus
giving me a much needed platform for what am doing now.
How you do you view prostate cancer?
Akume Akume: Prostate cancer kills men a lot in africa especially in
nigeria and not only in rural areas but also in the cities. Surveys and
interviews conducted revealed it should not result in death if only men
will open up to health care givers. A typical African man will not want
to be labelled impotent so preventive dialogue are not common. The whole
idea is then to give it wide publicity and make men talk about it.
What is your projection in the future?
Akume Akume: My projection for this campaign is great, i am already
touring round churches in plateau state using my music to reach out to
people and in some few months I would be in the united Kingdom and also
have plans to tour a couple of states in the United states of America. I
have been in touch with a couple of artist on this project. I want to
be able to relate to men and get them to talk about it, get the
understanding that survival is possible and help them achieve it. Though
am starting the project here in Nigeria I intend to make it global
reaching out to every man in the world.
He has a big heart and goes even beyond his calling as an artist to express his empathy in life changing projects as this.
