Amid calls for the ban of her yet-to-be-released film, popular Nigerian actress Nancy Isime has broken her silence.
Saga Gist reports that Isime had days ago shared a poster of the movie titled Blood Brothers, where she wore a niqab while holding a gun.
The poster, however, provoked a chorus of condemnation from Muslim faithful on social media.
Expressing anger with Isime for wearing a niqab during a robbery scene in the movie, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), on Wednesday called on the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to ban the controversial film.
However, in a series of posts, which appeared to be a cryptic response on her Instagram page, Isime emphasized her focus on peace and personal goals.
She wrote, “Really out of the way. In my own world. No drama or gossip. Just goals and money. Peace is where I’m at.
“I don’t bother nobody and I’m not bothered by nobody. To protect my peace, I stopped taking other people’s projected opinions personal.
“Reminder: Your light often highlights other people’s insecurities & shortcomings, which they will then project back to you as a flaw. It is a coping mechanism. Attacking you makes them feel safer.
“Isime baby, omo ologo 5g. The brightest light. The city on a hill that can never be hidden. Nancy Isime. Big name with big force. Getting talked about does not faze me. Look at the people who are talking.”
