  • Sanyeri refutes welcoming twins

    Sanyeri refutes welcoming twins

    Nollywood actor, Sanyeri, has urged the general public to disregard the report about him welcoming a set of twins.

     

    The comic actor debunked the rumour on Monday when he shared a screenshot of a Facebook post congratulating him the birth of his twins.

     

     

    He wrote, “Choose to scrutinize every information you get, because some people say things to mislead you and some media houses if not all. Are bought to push and publish certain agenda..

    Please disregard all of these Informations about me welcoming a set of twins..

    Not fair!!!”

    In an interview, Sanyeri revealed why he doesn’t do comedy skits.

    “I don’t do social media skits on Instagram because I don’t think it is necessary; I prefer to be on set; however, I post snippets of my movies sometimes. I may delve into skits later in life, but for now, I don’t believe in it; that’s why I don’t do it. I see it as overstretching myself.

     

    “If I post skits on Instagram, people are not going to pay to watch them and producing comic videos is not an easy task. It can’t be done anyhow. If it’s a normal role, it will be much easier because once the audience watches a comedy scene the first time, it may not be funny to them again the second time. These are some of the reasons why I use the gift God has given me in bits, I don’t want to misuse it,” he said.
