Hanks Anuku: Nollywood Is Full of Envy and Diabolism
Veteran Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has alleged that some of his colleagues in the Nigerian film industry were involved in diabolical practices and harboured envy towards him during his career peak. Anuku made this claim while speaking on the podcast Nollywood Hardcore with Labista.
When asked about his relationship with fellow actors, he reflected on the challenges he faced, stating, “In life, we must always keep space for falling down and standing up again. There was a bit of diabolism in the industry. Some people were diabolical, envious, and jealous of my shine back then.”
The actor also emphasised the importance of seeking spiritual guidance and deliverance, saying, “In life, even if you have a different opinion or heart of stone towards another man or woman, you should seek deliverance in church. We all need deliverance because we are not meant to condemn others.”

Anuku further spoke on love and support among people, urging his colleagues to embrace one another rather than breed negativity.
“We are not meant to be condemned; we are meant to be loved. Just imagine if I were truly what they claimed—God forbid—would they love or be of help to that person who gave you joy, who made you laugh, who gave you the sweetness of life somehow that you did not understand but loved? What is the problem with loving one another? There is no problem in that. We need to learn how to love one another.”
Highlighting the importance of unity and support, he added, “We need each other; we can’t do it alone. Life is not going to end for me now because God is not finished with me yet.”
His comments have sparked discussions among Nollywood fans and industry insiders, with many reflecting on the challenges actors face behind the scenes.
