Actor cum pastor talks about his grass to grace story

For Pastor Valiho Osagie, who plays the role of Officer Osadolor in Enakhe, the box office thriller showing on Africa Magic, this is the season of harvesting.

In an exclusive chat with Popular News, he said: “Every day new things are unfolding. It is so amazing. Every now and then Officer Osadolor is trending on social media(Twitter) on Enakhe.

“On the set people appreciate what I do. They are not disappointed with my performance. Most interesting is that I was not aware when they did the audition for the thriller. They had commenced shooting before I came in. 

“Actually, someone called me to give me the information that they are in search of somebody who can give the role the right interpretation. 

“They had earlier brought in two people to play the role but the duo couldn’t do it well. As soon as I came, I fit in and it was as if the role was designed for me originally. It has been like that ever since.

“The appreciation I get from the crew members, directors, producers and even the viewers has been tremendous. Any time that I am on set the crew members are happy because Officer Osadolor is coming to give them what they’re expecting.

“The icing on the cake is a big show coming up in Benin City on Valentine Day (February 14th) where Officer Osadolor in Enakhe is featuring.”

Pastor Osagie, while going down memory lane, recalled that in the past it was never smooth sailing as he had to endure some disappointments. But the whole story changed for him in 2016 when he accepted Christ. 

Since then he has won awards of recognition, he got married in 2018 and has been used by God to give succour and healing to a horde of people suffering from different afflictions and illness like the deadly HIV Aids.

Tuesday, February 2, Pastor Osagie would be clocking 40. Highlight of the celebration of the epoch event is his empowerment programme for disabled beggars at the Benin Ring Road axis on Sunday, February 7.
