While many people are in the festive
mood, warming up to bid farewell to 2016, top Yoruba actor, Yemi Fash
seems to have a different impression about the Christmas celebration
as he doesn't mean anything to him.
In a chat with WG, on what Christmas
means to him, the actor said, “Christmas is like every other day.
I don’t believe in Christmas or Yuletide. To me, every day is
Christmas because there is nothing I will eat on Christmas Day that I
have not eaten before. Or there is no place I will take my children
to that I have not taken them to before. So to me is all about making
yourself happy whenever the opportunity arises”.
On what he has been working on lately,
the actor said, he has been busy honouring veterans in the movie
industry. “I have been doing a lot in terms of celebrating African
veterans in the movie industry through Afro- Heritage Entertainment
Award that happens in Texas. And what we do is to celebrate and
humour those that have spent from 20 years upwards in the industry.
It is not only Nigerians, it’s over Africa. We have honoured the
likes of Pet Edochie Kunle Afolayan, Liz Benson among others. The
award has two categories, Icon and Legend. The Icon is twenty years
above. We do fifteen veterans yearly. So that is what I have been
doing late. The industry has been good before during the time of
home video and we are getting better” he said.
