If I jab you, if you feel chopped in gum again, no say no be gentle jack. Hello everyone, I welcome you all to the biggest show on YouTube in Africa, in Nigeria. 2 00:00:26.828 --> 00:00:55.330 the best show you've ever seen. I'm your humble host, Be You Barbie. Our guest today thinks he is Rambo. Well, this our Alabama Market Rambo is an OG for all the wrong things you can think of in Hollywood. Oh. That's it. That's the Alabama Market Rambo. Well, put some respect. 3 00:00:55.820 --> 00:01:20.727 Let me tell you something, okay? I've been in this profession for a very long time and if you want to introduce me, introduce me the proper way. You understand me? You see this Alaba thing you're involving, I never knew I was going to come here and you're going to be involving Alaba and all of that. You understand me? I don't like that. If you want me to leave here, I'll leave. I'll just stand up and I'll leave. You understand me? Take it easy. Take it easy. 4 00:01:21.115 --> 00:01:40.488 If you try that the next time you try it, the next moment you try it again, I will stand up and I will leave. To where? I will go back home. I don't think you know why you are here. I'm here to give you a platform. And you are saying you would rather go and be sleeping at home. You will give me a platform. 5 00:01:41.028 --> 00:01:58.561 I am the one to give you a platform. I mean, is that how you people operate here? You invited me down from my state to this state, Lagos state here, and you're telling me you give me a platform. I'm here to give you views for your, whatever YouTube you're trying to make money from. Don't you understand that? 6 00:01:58.561 --> 00:02:28.295 My friend, listen to me, listen to me. I think you'll be interviewing a lot of people. I'm not into that kind of level. You understand me? I will stand up and I will, if you cannot ask polite and simple questions that have relevance, that have respect, I will stand up and I will leave you. I've never asked any questions. So why you, what is an introduction? That's how I see perspectives differ. That's how I see you that, ah, this man in his mind, he thinks it's Rambo. Yes, sir. 7 00:02:28.497 --> 00:02:48.123 Rambo to who? Who is Rambo? Low budget Rambo. That's why I see it. So I might be wrong. You will not correct me that, ah, no, you have Rambo Gonzo. You can do the concerns that Rambo is doing. That's what you tell me. You have to correct me. You don't have to have this kind of... Do you have anger issues, sir? I don't blame you. 8 00:02:48.123 --> 00:03:16.574 I blame the lorry that brought goods to Lagos State. When the lorry was leaving, they forgot you here. And you grew up under your master. And now you are doing podcast business. You're telling me that I'm an Alaba Rambo. Is that how you do it? If it's the Alaba... Excuse me, somebody please call my... I'm sorry. What kind of nonsense is that now? I've attended a lot of podcasts, not this kind of introduction now. My brother, ask questions you want to ask. If the Alaba is the problem, I'll scrap the Alaba. 9 00:03:17.131 --> 00:03:35.255 You do more than ramble. You do ramble. Let's just move on to the question. Alright, yeah. I'm so sorry. So, do you still act? I mean movies, not skits. 10 00:03:35.710 --> 00:03:54.526 You've not been watching enough. That's why you may be still buying CDs from stores and people pushing cats on the streets. Go to YouTube, type my name, Gentle Jack. You see all my new movies, old movies, new ones. You see everything out there. Just go to YouTube and type. Everything is online now. You know that. You're still asking me if I act as if you don't know me. 11 00:03:55.403 --> 00:04:24.547 I mean, we act until we leave this earth. You understand? I'm not a footballer at the age of 31, 32. I'm retired, no. Hey, it's you that would tell me that. You might thought you have retired. They do something. Nobody retires in the entertainment business. They've not bought me when you started acting. Of course. That's what I'm saying now. I don't know you now. Ross, this year will make me 30 years in the industry. See, I'm just 30 years old. I said this year will make me 30, I'll be 30 years in the movie industry. 30 years of acting. 1996, I shot my first movie, Blood Money. Where were you? 12 00:04:24.968 --> 00:04:52.593 We are still under your parents' care. They don't allow you to play outside. Hey, Kuleb! Ma bon leo! Ma loo! Ma loo! Ma loo! You know what I mean? So, what's more? Are your movies, I mean the movies you say you're acting, are they featured in, or are they allowed to show it in urban areas in Lagos? And even if they show it, shouldn't that be illegal? Well, um... 13 00:04:53.015 --> 00:05:11.257 You're just new to this profession, so you don't really understand. You know, I've been doing this for a very long time. You understand me? And I don't know how old you were when this industry started. So let me educate you a little bit. You understand? Okay. 14 00:05:12.404 --> 00:05:41.834 If you go to YouTube now, everything has changed. Nobody even goes to post office to post letters again, or to go to business centers to send emails. Everything is just in your little Android phone. So things are changing. So you have to change. You have to move on with the trend. You understand? So when you go to YouTube, you go to other platforms, and normally where people stream movies and all that. You can operate YouTube. You don't need to operate YouTube. Look at the sign on your hoodie top. You understand me? 15 00:05:43.150 --> 00:06:02.270 You go to YouTube, it's a streaming platform, you understand? You go there, if you type my name, if you type your name too, maybe you're on YouTube, you'll see yourself there, you understand? So Gentle Jack. Gentle Jack. Just go type Gentle Jack movies, you'll see all my movies there. New ones too, and old ones. You understand? Speaking of your name. 16 00:06:02.978 --> 00:06:25.692 What is that gentle hiding there for? What is gentle? It's like you asking somebody, why is it that two-face is called innocent? What's the innocent there for? Does you look at someone that is innocent? For two-face, he actually looks innocent. Me? Why is he act innocent? I do not look like I'm gentle. No, you look... You look... Uli... I don't want to say huliganish. But you're not gentle. 17 00:06:26.283 --> 00:06:54.076 Not your films, not the way you have been speaking to me since. You've disrespected me countless and I've let it slide. And you're saying your name is gentle. Well, I don't know. Now you want to act. I don't know. I think I will confess for you. Anyway, um... Next question. You have always been known as someone very muscular, even at over 50. 18 00:06:54.599 --> 00:07:23.877 Is it that you are an actor by day and a bricklayer by night? Or how do you do it? How do you get the muscle? Let me educate you one more time again. Bricklayer by night. Let me tell you something, okay? I'll put you through a fitness program. I'll put you through a fitness program. Something that will make you look fit. Because the way I look at you right now, I don't think you can. If there's anything happening now, you can run. 19 00:07:24.637 --> 00:07:38.626 You just be calling for where is that man that brought me that you'll be calling your cabman to come and pick you up here so that you escape. Well, let me tell you something. Okay. When you look at me properly by genetics, I'm like this. My ancestors. 20 00:07:39.048 --> 00:07:54.893 I got all this from my ancestors. That's why I look like this up to this age that I am right now. I still look like it. It is not easy. I've been maintaining this size for a very long time. To be honest with you, if I drop my profile here for you, bros, 21 00:07:54.893 --> 00:08:16.257 You escape through the window here. You don't even look for the doors to take off. You take off through the windows, but if you think the window is the safest exit, I'm telling you for real. You talk about bricklayer, talk about that. That's not the issue. The thing is, how did you maintain this physique of this time, gentle? That's what you're supposed to ask me. Yeah, John, I'll teach you my job. 22 00:08:16.257 --> 00:08:45.704 I will teach you your job because you're dropping questions that are not relevant. You understand what I'm saying? I don't know if you're trying to play with me or you brought me here to ask me silly questions. Yeah, the one that is not coming down to ask the question. Me, I am curious and I saw that, ah, this man, how is he doing it? He only sees you that you are acting from... I know that you have... you go to the gym. I don't know that. You're not telling us that now. Me, I thought, oh, maybe he's acting during the day and in the night he's carrying a kong kong. 23 00:08:45.704 --> 00:09:09.987 That was my thing. Ah, no, you're correcting me now. What's wrong with that? Ah, oh, ah. But I've heard you. You go to the gym. How often do you go to the gym? Brother, did you bring me here to ask me my schedule for the day or you brought me here, you invited me here to ask me some To ask you every question. I want to know if you would... ...questions that I would give you educative answers. 24 00:09:11.067 --> 00:09:33.494 This is educative. How often do you go to the gym? How many eggs do you eat? Okay fine. I go to the gym four times in a week. How many eggs do you eat per day? Eggs? I eat like five eggs per meal. It depends on what I feel I eat for the day. In the morning, it's not. Let me tell you something, it's not. If anything smells, yeah. No more. No, listen to me. Listen to me. You have to add boiled eggs to your meal. 25 00:09:33.494 --> 00:09:54.166 You understand? A lot of people say if you eat eggs, cholesterol, these, forget all those things. You understand me? Eggs are a source of protein, especially when you work out seriously. You're a very rigorous workout, you know, somebody. When you go to the gym, most times when you check out our meals, it's all about carbocard and all that. 26 00:09:54.166 --> 00:10:20.542 When you involve eggs into your carbure, you try to balance it up with some vegetables. You understand me? But some people cannot afford that. So all you need to do is try and look for a way to manage your diet and involve some protein into your diet. Thank you very much. So that's why you need to have boiled eggs. And it's very affordable. You understand? Thank you very much for that. Thank you. Moving on to the next question. 27 00:10:21.689 --> 00:10:43.947 Why are you still doing bad boys in movies at your age? I don't think it's believable. Because who is going to be scared of your 50-year-old ass? Bros. If I see you, if you can intimidate me as you are like this, I'll beat you. I'll beat you, man. Bros. I'll bully you. A sick lion is still... 28 00:10:44.352 --> 00:11:09.462 Scary, you understand me? When you see a sick lion, a dying lion, you can't even get close. You understand what I'm saying? And when you talk about strength, to be honest with you, I will disgrace you. I'm telling you for real. You don't even know me. You see, listen, you Gen Z podcast operators, you understand me? You guys don't even understand. You don't even go to read people's profile before you invite the person over. 29 00:11:09.462 --> 00:11:28.868 I think I've watched your curiosity, whatever. You understand? I never knew you were the one that was inviting me. I think you hid under the invitation stuff, and you got me. And fine, fine, you got me, and I'm here. And you're trying to ask me all kinds of irrelevant questions. And I don't like it. In fact, it's not going down well with me here. You understand me? You understand what I'm saying? 30 00:11:29.071 --> 00:11:56.729 But it's just questions. I'm just saying that. See, let me tell you something. Carry with no guns, me and you. Ah, I'm so sorry. Ross, I will beat you the Othissian motif. When they see you. You know, look, let me tell you something. Way back, if I'm walking on the street and you're approaching, I'm coming on the other way. You turn back or you cross the other side of the street. I'm telling you for real, you don't even know me. 31 00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:23.408 Now you think you're grown up, now you're a big boy, now you think you can challenge me or what? Is that what you're thinking? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Bro, see this knock-o, no be, no be, no be shoulder pad, no be shoulder pad, be this one. No be shoulder pad, be this one. If I jab you, eh? If you feel chopped in gum again, no see, no be gentle jack. I'm sorry. That's why I'll be beer for you. Uh. Eh? If you say so. I've got to see my knock-o low. 32 00:12:23.712 --> 00:12:50.932 See my knuckle. You can see what you like. Yes, I understand. But let's just know that TV is the way from real life. That's all I mean I know. How does it feel to be one of the biggest low quality village film actor in Hollywood? Feels so good. Feels so good? Feels so good. I feel like there should be an award for that. Feels so good. You've been so consistent with it. You understand? 33 00:12:52.282 --> 00:13:20.918 Even though I feel there's something you made a mistake in. Because I feel Nollywood has taken a lot from you. Nollywood took you playing rich man. You understand? You did not explore that part of your acting. You did not explore the part of being a lover boy. I mean, I won't watch you being a lover, but I don't think I want to see you kissing Genevieve. But I still feel you should have explored it. You understand? Why did you... 34 00:13:21.847 --> 00:13:49.640 Why did you let Nollywood box you up to play a bad guy? Because you seem like a good guy. Do I really look like a good guy to you? I don't. I'm sorry. I just wanted to be nice. Did I just actually say you look like a good guy? Ross, around 3 a.m., if you meet a person like me, under my two-bridge, your car, I say your car, tire comes, spoil, then I fall out. Oh, my God. What do you think will happen to you? 35 00:13:51.142 --> 00:14:09.873 If may I see you that kind time, I will first take Slap, take format your iOS first, upgrade it to the latest version. Yes, sorry about that. I still look scary. So that means you think you are playing the perfect roles? Definitely. 36 00:14:09.974 --> 00:14:24.014 If I'm not doing it real, when you hear my new gentle jack, you stand up and sit upright. Oh boy, I won't see this guy move you again. This guy is a bad guy. I can't watch him move you again. I can't see the kind he won't do. You don't understand. What? 37 00:14:25.010 --> 00:14:48.314 I don't think those people would give me one kind of movie, Richard Gere kind of movie, where they would kiss. I don't think of all those bushes, people would do all these palace films, all those kind things. That's every actor's dream. The king's son is marrying one blind girl in the village, and the whole palace guards and palace people, all those kind of things. But we know you're on those kind of things. 38 00:14:48.837 --> 00:15:15.550 Badass ghetto movies or Ratata. Things will feel the quiet. When I talk, things will be the lowest Nigerian will feel related to it. You understand me? I've always wanted to be an actor too. You will feel the actor? You don't feel the actor. That's why they run this package now. This is like a coin. They try to look for an easy route. 39 00:15:15.702 --> 00:15:40.137 But I'm saying that my dream, everybody's dream is to kiss during movies Kiss? Yes! Kiss him! There are so many beautiful girls in this industry We will name them Ketensho, I want to kiss Ketensho in a movie I want to kiss Genevieve in a movie Ketensho is your mother Ketensho will burn you Ketensho will burn you 40 00:15:40.576 --> 00:16:02.075 You want to kiss Genevieve? You see, let me tell you something. At this show, when you're small, for the yard one that they live, you know the people wear women in the bath or bathroom. You know the elderly women. Who did not do that? One time he did not do that. You, this boy, the one who sees you, they go to... That's why you see, you also fantasize about elderly women. Women will see not you. 41 00:16:02.328 --> 00:16:30.762 You see, you know they even talk about small, small guys like Arastad and all those people, maybe your age mate. You see the people they call, Kate Henshaw, Genevieve. They look for, they look for, they look for, that's my, what's the type? Now they look for. They look for something, look at you. Truth to God, honestly, I never believed you were, 42 00:16:32.602 --> 00:16:57.830 You don't even know my age. You don't even know what I can handle. You? I'm just judging the book by its cover. What can you handle? What if Ketensho chooses me? What if I'm a type? Ketensho? Yes. Who chooses you? Moving on to the next question, please. It's what I know. Ah, please. Moving on to the next question. Can we move on to the next question? How are you able to play 43 00:16:57.965 --> 00:17:20.729 all these arm rubbers, all these tough roles so well. Were you a thief in your past life? If you have the skills, if you have the blessings... Good question, right? If you have the skills, if you have the blessings of you being an actor, obviously you can act any kind of role. You understand me? Because I remember vividly, so many years ago, my first movie was Blood Money. 44 00:17:21.421 --> 00:17:47.459 And then I used to work with Universal Fitness Center. When you get to Federal Palace, when you drive into Federal Palace, after the mosque, you see a big fitness center. That was the biggest fitness center we had in Lagos way back. And it's clearly written on the signpost, it's clearly written, Universal Fitness Center for the Elite. They wrote it for the Elite too. I was the body therapist and the instructor in the gym way back then. 45 00:17:48.893 --> 00:18:08.266 Then my friend Awiti is late now. Awiti Bayo, you understand me? You know? He's late now, Minnesota Racing Perfect Pisa. And Greg Fribesima. Greg Fribesima used to be Bidamboy Fribesima's elder brother. So he was a DJ and we're friends way back in Port Harkot. So he came to my... 46 00:18:08.468 --> 00:18:36.717 Vite said that to come and see me and said, ah, see, there's a new nightclub coming up. We love you too. Let's work together. I'll be the DJ. We take care of all the security outfit in the nightclub. And before then, Basso is tired. We're all friends way back too. He just finished from Uniport then. He's an actor already. He started acting. Then he used to come visit me where I normally squat as well too. I was squatting with my friends, you know, in those days, everybody had somewhere to stay in those days, you know, so. 47 00:18:37.460 --> 00:19:06.907 Bassojina came and said, Jack, there's an audition going up at Zebejiro's office at Olufemi Show Constitut Baku Aguda Baku. He said, I said, no, Bassojci, I have to be, I'm going to resume this afternoon because Charlie is going to close by 12. I will take off from 12 here in the evening. He said, don't worry now, let's just run down to the event, to the audition. And I said, I know you now because we all grew up together. We were all dancing in those days and all that, you know. 48 00:19:07.598 --> 00:19:12.003 And I said, okay, fine, let's give it a try. So we go to Zerbe Juro's office. 49 00:19:13.015 --> 00:19:42.833 In fact, they had already finished the audition because we got there late. And I saw these big wigs there. Fred Amata, Opa Williams, Blake Chike Juro, you know, Kinesi Goro. You know, these are big names there. They were all on the audition decks and all that. So, Basajina introduced me to Fred Amata. I said, that's my brother. Fred Amata looked at me and said, sure, see this guy, a gentle guy. Go with this guy there. You know, way back, I used to have this kind of look. I will not talk to you 50 00:19:42.985 --> 00:20:06.813 Well, brothers, you go just crossroad. I swear that I will not this kind of thing I emit, you know, my presence. When you see me, you know, even ask me questions, you go just mind yourself. Well, don't look you. I don't know whether that look, they try to, you know, reduce the moral way you get kind of. 51 00:20:06.914 --> 00:20:13.208 So Fred said, what's in there? And I said, gentle. That was the worst thing. He said, you, gentle. 52 00:20:13.394 --> 00:20:43.297 So they said, okay, fine. We want you to read so that we listen to your diction. And you walk out the room, get behind the door. When we say action, you come in and strangle. There's this lady called Juma Joseph. She used to be an actor. I don't know where she, I think she's traveled out of the country for a very long time. So we're together in the movie and they said, I should come and strangle Juma Joseph. They want to see how I'm going to do that. So I now went off the audition room and 53 00:20:43.668 --> 00:21:13.385 went behind the door. Then obviously they finished the audition. They were looking for official expression. The artistic director Abbasu Nuko, that's his name. He wasn't satisfied about the people the person he has given that role to. He's not satisfied but I think he wasn't getting what he wanted. So then, then I said, action. I held the handle of the door. And so they were looking at the handle over this side. So they saw I held it and I just turned the handle of the door slowly 54 00:21:15.157 --> 00:21:45.025 You understand? Because as a kid, when I was growing up, I watched a lot of movies, a lot of series, you know? A lot of series, a lot of, I did it. I read a lot of comic magazines and all that, you know? And Fling Stones was one of my best cartoon series in those days, you know? I don't say you know watch Fling Stones. I don't blame you. Anyway, so, so fine. I held the handle and I had to like twist the handle down a little bit. And then all the hinges on the door, they all gave me this natural sound, right? 55 00:21:46.139 --> 00:22:14.624 The minute I opened the door a little bit, I just, like my profile, you know, brought out my eyes like this and that is the right owner said, CUT! This is what I'm looking for. De La Jacayi used to be the production manager. I don't know where he is now. God bless him wherever he is then. Late Jaja. Jaja was production coordinator. Michael Jaja is late now. Michael Jaja is a poor man. He is a perfect person. 56 00:22:15.907 --> 00:22:41.337 Abbasidu Kunato De La Jaqe, give him the script, write his name, give him that rule. That was how I got the rule for blood money in 1996. Oh my God. The inconsistency got me to this point that I am now. You know, the industry, once you're there and you're being sought for, you're doing the back-to-back thing, you understand me? It's a very selfish profession. 57 00:22:41.489 --> 00:22:59.579 To be honest with you, you tend to not do any other thing again because the jobs are coming. Acting is a very service profession. You do not allow you to do it. You never think of any other thing again. So that's my journey. You know, that was my journey and I did it properly and to be honest with you. 58 00:23:01.283 --> 00:23:25.938 If I'm traveling with you, or if I'm driving, because I love driving, to be honest with you, I have passion for driving, long distance driving. Not driving like I want to go crazy. No, that's not driving. You need to enjoy driving, you understand me? If I'm driving, I'm military personnel, they see me and all that, you know, they turn to like my movies, you know, because they feel I give them what they want to see and all that, so it's interesting. 59 00:23:25.938 --> 00:23:49.597 honestly i i i sincerely appreciate it's a it's a fantastic story beautiful beautiful beautiful but moving on is the question i asked you should stick on this story is too long fine i'm trying to i'll give you a long don't do that again no when you go back home edit it and take the ones you want to use in a better your life me i is is 60 00:23:49.597 --> 00:24:10.927 You understand me? You see where I'm coming from? When did you start this little business you're doing now? Next, moving on, listen to me. Because I'm going to work out for you here and it's your loss. You understand? Moving on, stick to the question I ask you. You have spoken more than the host of the show. You want to carry collection for my hand? 61 00:24:12.412 --> 00:24:41.116 If you know, I don't want to support anybody. But they do too much. You people do too much. But RMD here the other day too, into just telling me things I'm not interested in. You people, you people, please, please. If not, I will stop it. Stop giving you guys a chance on the platform. No blame me. Where did I stop? 62 00:24:41.909 --> 00:25:10.613 Moving on to the next question, please. You mentioned military now. I read somewhere that you could have been in the military. Yeah. Hmm. You know, obviously, people like you. Not understood you. People like you. Had you been an army officer? Eh? Is it a person like you, eh? Anyway. Let me tell you, you read it. You read it somewhere. Yes. And what were they saying? But you are not a military. Yes. 63 00:25:10.934 --> 00:25:34.711 What was it? What did you read? That you could have been in the military. So what happened? It's you that will tell me this. No, you read it now. What happened? It didn't happen. It didn't happen. It didn't happen. But you could have been. Yeah, you think. You wanted it, but acting took it from you. No, the thing is, my mom, when she was alive, 64 00:25:34.981 --> 00:25:49.628 not so resting perfect piece she was you know when you have a mother that is very strict you understand loving mother very strict mother you understand and uh she was the uh matron of fgc protocol way back and uh she's in the military 65 00:25:49.831 --> 00:26:19.463 She was a matron, matron, Federal Gouvernican College, Port Alcott. What's a matron? A matron, you don't know what we mean. A matron is like a person that takes care of all the students. You understand me? Oh. Coordinate them, make sure they are in good behavior, they are all okay. They read their books and teach them what to do and all that. That's okay. Fine. So they moved my mom from Lagos here to Port Alcott. So I had to, like, the little one of the ass, I had to, like, accompany my mom straight to Port Alcott. And I grew up... 66 00:26:20.527 --> 00:26:39.899 We had a lot of brothers. And when you're growing up and you love a lot of action things and all that, you understand me? I play a lot. Whenever I come back from school, myself and my colleagues, we tend to do cowboys and Indians. I see we're riding horses, and we do paper guns and all that. 67 00:26:39.899 --> 00:26:58.580 You know, so my mom's nephew, then he was a Commodore. Before he retired, he was a Riyad Mirab before he retired. Riyad Mirab, Ibn Abu Bob Manuel. Wait, I'm wondering something. Is it the story of your military? Listen to me. Listen to me. When you ask questions, you understand me. I will take you. 68 00:26:59.238 --> 00:27:24.652 But I'm not interested. Listen to me. Then I will take you through this journey. Your other side, so you know how the reason why I never got into the military. That's what I'm trying to explain to you. Make it a short story. Okay, fine. What happened? You fell down from your head now. Let me make it a short story right now for you, okay? Are you okay? Yes, sir. Let me make a short story for you. My mom said, I don't want you to join the military. 69 00:27:25.107 --> 00:27:52.208 If you join the military, I'll be heartbroken. You understand? But no, that's not what I heard, though. I heard that... Read what you heard. That's what I'm... Now read what you heard. I told you, read what you heard. You said... I don't like it. I don't like it. You have to... That should be the last time. Thank you very much. I heard that she cursed you. She swears for you. Is it true? Is that what you said with your mouth? My mom cannot curse me. But you said that... She said that if you do it... 70 00:27:53.778 --> 00:28:08.054 That's the last thing you will do. You read it. You said it. Okay, now you read what you read. Read it out. Let's hear. Gentle Jack. I'm playing you now. Gentle Jack saying, my mom said that if... 71 00:28:09.016 --> 00:28:38.952 not in my two eyes will i watch my son ever do this thing if not that is it and you don't want you don't want to make your mom feel bad you understand me okay okay because let me tell you something you know she's a very important figure in our lives you understand me and uh when we lost when we lost our dad you understand me she was the only one that she took care of all the kids and all that you can understand when when the dad is now around and 72 00:28:39.492 --> 00:29:06.695 mother taking care of all the kids you understand and you're like eight yes you you wouldn't want to do anything that would make her remember her husband it's going to make her feel sober for like a week you understand so all of us in the house we don't want her to make anything that will make her get you know that she supported the acting oh yes she did she did you understand but that was it she said 73 00:29:08.348 --> 00:29:15.858 You will never get there. Today, if I'm not the one that had you with this, my tummy, you understand me? 74 00:29:16.988 --> 00:29:44.157 you'll never get there. And you know when there's, you know, mothers, you know, they're very special to God. There are things they say, it comes to pass, you understand me? And that's why I wouldn't advise anybody to have any issue with his mom, especially when the thing is very, very genuine, clear. You understand? Yeah, I've probably been talking to my mom for like 20 years now. I don't think you've not been talking to your mom for like, that's a lie. Don't come and tell us. I'm serious, she's dead. Come and tell us bullshit. She's dead. Go to our grave and go and beg her. 75 00:29:44.410 --> 00:30:02.956 She will help you. She will help you and you'll be asking people relevant questions here. That's OK. That's the reason why. You see, when you want to ask people questions in this your podcast, you start to ask negative questions. Then after some time, the people that you want to interview here will now re- 76 00:30:02.956 --> 00:30:32.082 realign your system yes that's what i've asked i don't think i've not i don't think i've asked any negative question you are the one seen as negative and i told you first okay fine now let me tell you something curiosity okay go to the next question my mom said i shouldn't join the military and that's it go to it was the next question how i became what again you can't teach me my job that's one thing you should know okay okay okay okay okay 77 00:30:33.128 --> 00:30:54.577 No one teaches me my job. You don't know how long I learned this job. Yes, I'm not telling you. Let's move on to the next question. Before we move on to the next question, I just want to warn you. That very dark man character you played. 78 00:30:57.142 --> 00:31:24.462 Don't do that again, okay? Let me educate you again on that. Okay. And even the Very Darkman 2 does not understand anything about acting. Who? The man is just, the boy is just called Very Darkman. Let me tell you something, okay? Fine. That wasn't a biopic of that Very Darkman. That was just for comic relief. And when the marketer, not the marketer, sorry, the executive producer of the project approached me, 79 00:31:24.985 --> 00:31:54.888 He said, he's been wanting me to do this thing for a very long time. And fine. We met where I was shooting. You guys actually look alike. So let me call him. I'm coming. So he said, fine, let's discuss. The fee was very tempting. You understand? I said, fine. Because I mean, if I have to do this, you have to pay. And we negotiated. It was just it was not the real life story of a very, if we want to shoot something of a very dark, we'll start from where he was, we gave birth to him. 80 00:31:55.090 --> 00:32:07.038 degree of primary school, that, that, that, to the point. Like they did Michael Jackson. Fine, yes. So now when he saw the movie, did a video and said, all right, 81 00:32:07.831 --> 00:32:25.111 And so not only who decided to do a movie about me, well, first of all, I have to give a shout out to Baba Gentle Jack. Much respect, Baba Gentle Jack. Baba Gentle Jack, you say he call me now. I will pick your call. One time. If you come and tell Baba Gentle Jack, I will pick him call. I saw that. I said it. 82 00:32:25.381 --> 00:32:43.454 That was respect. But that was for comic relief because all the people he's been having issues with, you know, Miya Shin-woo, we all created the characters. Just for comic relief, not anything about the true life story. But they thought it was like we're doing a movie about very dark man. No, just for comic relief, people laugh. 83 00:32:43.454 --> 00:33:03.839 Whoever, whoever, everybody that I had issues with, you know, the fake cream thing and all that, we casted all those characters. They're just for comedy, not in much. But I must say, they actually casted the right person because you guys actually look alike. Yes, he looks like a more relevant version. Yes, like he looks... 84 00:33:08.615 --> 00:33:36.543 Let's move on to the next question. I guess you don't want to talk about that. What big ups? What's your name again? I'm Be You Barbie. Be You Barbie? That sounds like one of these... It's what people always say. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Let's move on to the next question. Is there anything people should... Sounds like a hair cream. Be You Barbie. 85 00:33:38.264 --> 00:34:07.289 It's good for her. So many. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm having the latest product here, Bayou Barbie. If you use this cream right now, you're going to be having dark, coily hair, Bayou Barbie, the latest version of Curiosity, whatever. Bayou Barbie, long lasting solution for coily hairs. Dark, fuller hairs. Dark. Moving on to the next question. 86 00:34:08.386 --> 00:34:37.310 So many actors are always careful with their faces. They believe that's like the goal of acting. So they don't want anybody to touch their face, hurt their face. I'm sure you don't waste your time with that because your face cannot get worse than this. You don't need to ensure it. There's nothing that can happen to your face that has not happened to your face. Your face looks like you have gone through. Baby, let me tell you something, okay? As an actor or a musician, whatever, your face, 87 00:34:37.799 --> 00:35:03.550 is your selling point. You understand? Exactly. All you need to do is make sure you protect yourself at all times. Do not get injured. That does not apply to you. Well, we know they do makeup. We know they do makeup. We don't shoot. We know they do makeup. We know they do makeup. The foundation will not be enough. The foundation said this. They scared. Oh, God, no worry. Don't go ahead. We allow you. Oh, God, no, it's our product. No worry. 88 00:35:04.023 --> 00:35:14.198 Don't worry, as-salamu for yoga. But one thing I envy about you is the muscular distance. And you see, someday I want to have muscular hands. 89 00:35:14.435 --> 00:35:43.679 Yes, sir. And not for anything. To be honest with you, let me tell you something. I've not been consistent for a very long time. This is not even my real size. I've actually shot down. I've caught down a lot. But if you need me, I don't normally put myself in one particular size again. But if, for example, you have a job for me and you say, Jack, we'll be having this movie to shoot and we want you to look like this, look like that. Then all I need to tell you is give me like a month. 90 00:35:44.590 --> 00:36:11.776 give me like 30 days or 31 days, I know what to do. You understand me? Then, because I've not been working out for a very long, to be honest with you, I've not worked out for, I've not worked out for like almost two years now. Yes, to be honest with you, but you know, what is paying off is old glory, things that you don't do before, you know. Because once you've been working out for a very long time and you take good care of yourself, you eat good, you rest, you understand me? 91 00:36:12.704 --> 00:36:31.030 Your body will just do it, especially when you take good care of yourself. Just make sure you take good care of yourself. Make sure you rest properly. Make sure you eat properly. And the idea of every time you think another is going to be like, 92 00:36:32.785 --> 00:36:49.947 weigh you down because do not allow you to get into your mood like you're going to do all kinds of levels of thinking and all that but it's going to be affecting you always makes time for yourself to be happy but if i'm to if i'm to say i feel like it's easy to be gentle jack 93 00:36:50.048 --> 00:37:06.113 If you want to be the next gen to Jack in Hollywood, all you have to do is to be black. Have muscles and be small down there. They've tried it. They've tried it. Everything is complete. They've tried it so many times to have a replica for me. 94 00:37:06.113 --> 00:37:35.729 But it didn't work. That's because they are not following the rules. No. Don't cut me off, sir. You cannot be me. Let me explain to them. They've tried. They have not. See, me, I've read you. See, ask people like Stimi of Pellua. They've tried. Beate, please. He's still the things. What? Make sure you're black. Make sure you have muscles. And make sure you're small down there. Where? Baba? Hey, no worry. Don't give me your... 95 00:37:35.948 --> 00:38:01.598 Give me your Bambi number. Just give me a number. By the time you see her shake, whisk come off from your house, when she come back, now working stick, she will take come back house. I bet you, man. I'll be full time with your man. You understand me? I'll be pure water side man. Now pure organic, now with the heat. You hear me? You hear me? I'll be original with your, now you see her. Nothing mixed me up. 96 00:38:02.425 --> 00:38:31.619 You know about this kind of oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil, oil 97 00:38:31.720 --> 00:38:58.585 How long do you think it's going to take me to be muscular? Oh boy, you change your diet. Listen to me. I will drop fitness program for you. You understand me? After a month, send me a message for my WhatsApp. I will pull out a fitness program for you. I will prepare your diet for you. How long will it take? It's not going to take me more than 30 minutes. I will run on for you. If I follow your diet, how long will it take, Pinto? 98 00:38:59.412 --> 00:39:14.684 Consistency, you understand me? With the rules I will give you, like two months. It doesn't go, it's not go big, magic. Two, two, two months. Two months, if you don't change, don't call me again. That's the thing, I feel like, because I, somebody told me- Listen to me, listen to me. You're talking to a 99 00:39:15.072 --> 00:39:44.958 I'm not even supposed to talk to you because if I want to talk to you about this kind of things, you will pay a consultation fee. But I'm going to give it to you free. Me, I heard. Because two months is a long time. Me, I heard that it's a faster route. What? You want to drink what? Habba tea? No. Someone told me that if I can increase the amount of the time I masturbate, consistently, my arms will come out. If I do it... 100 00:39:45.177 --> 00:40:11.131 Because I used to do it three times a day. I can go seven, eight times a day. There's no way my hand. What is my hand? Because I was using two hands. Okay, I think that's a better route. It's beautiful. I never knew... I testify to it. Yes, something easier is there. 101 00:40:11.603 --> 00:40:39.785 You've been doing it, that's why you don't deal like this now. I've been saying, but I've not eaten it. I'm struggling with four or five. Four or five. Go ahead, go ahead. I can see that. I swear, people have not noticed it before. I can see that. You have beautiful arms. You have good arms. You have good arms. This means a lot to me. You have good arms. You have good arms. You have good arms. Just be doing it and make sure you eat Lakasera. You take Lakasera and be eating Gala. Lakasera. You know that Lakasera drink. 102 00:40:39.785 --> 00:41:07.679 What about can I drink Biggie? Oh Biggie, the big one. Yes. Can take Biggie then with this big big doughnut. You know those big giant doughnuts that these Ghana boys they sell up on the street. Those ones in the showcase are very yellowish. Thank you very much. Thank you. So there's this question I've been meaning to ask. Right. It's on insurance. 103 00:41:07.780 --> 00:41:36.738 You understand? Because a lot of people run from insurance. See, let's say you get lucky for your movie role. I get what? You get lucky for your movie role in the UK. You understand? But because you have a very scary and suspicious face, you understand, the police stop and search you. You understand? So that's it, you should raise up your hand. You know you do not understand UK accents. You understand? You do not hear them. So you do not raise up your hand. You put your hand in your pocket. So, 104 00:41:37.379 --> 00:41:53.309 I'm just painting an example and I'll shoot you. If you don't insure your body, how will your body come back here? So you see the importance of insurance. The example I'm trying to make on insurance. Insurance. Like, okay, for example, let's say you have to go and buy corn. 105 00:41:54.119 --> 00:42:18.622 but Nigerian corn is not you are tired of Nigerian corn how many of your celebrities in this country are having insurance wherever? so that's what I'm saying don't you think people should do it more often? diaspora insurance in your mind now, I don't have insurance no, I'm not saying you don't have insurance I'm just saying for people watching 106 00:42:19.465 --> 00:42:44.305 Don't you want to advise them to go into it? They know now. They know already. I don't know if one of these local insurance companies in Lagos State, they contacted you to, as you're doing the show, make sure you bring in, try and make sure you rope in insurance. They actually sponsored this episode. So you see, I might tell you something there. 107 00:42:45.233 --> 00:43:03.830 Mount in a chuchuchuchu. In life. In film, you would have quickly done something. Look at you now. You're over 50. It's chuchuchuchu that remain. It's to talk. It's to threaten. But no action. Boy, you don't know me. No worry. See? You see your legend? You see your OG? No worry. You don't know me. 108 00:43:04.943 --> 00:43:24.923 No worry. You will say that it's because of today's Tuesday. There's no reason to fight on Tuesday. That's their excuse mostly. I've not trained for that. Where those people, where they do boxing, promoting, posting, waiting, waiting, waiting, where some, these other two sports children. Make them bring me a U. Make them bring me a U. Listen to me. 109 00:43:25.463 --> 00:43:45.005 She on her, they listen to the people they do, waiting, waiting, waiting. Me can arrange, me and this boy, me can come for ring, me can fight. Me can not wear gloves, so no big gloves, no gloves. Bare knuckle. Eh? If they hear me, bang, bang, like this. All your molars. 110 00:43:45.511 --> 00:44:14.553 See guys, hmmm. They, they, they, they're crazy. Man, don't talk too much, you understand? See, he's, he's running from fight. We say we should fight now. He's saying we should do the- Oh boy, if he said, I could fight, I could fight. Don't worry, I'm not, you have, I've lost a patent for the fight. Just- Me and you. What happened? Please, take it easy. I got truth to God, eh? No one. Chon, chon, chon, chon, chon. 111 00:44:15.937 --> 00:44:42.633 Okay, I guess... Sipersi won't fight me. Sipersi won't fight me. I will shock you. You are dodging my outer body. I will shock your neck. If you punch my neck. You will whip here. I will hook you. As you whip, I push. You blink and call like this. Bam! You're going to see angels. 112 00:44:43.139 --> 00:45:11.911 You could see an angel, and then could they fly like butterfly. That's what I'm saying. You never see where they punch a person like the person they roll. The person they go round. They go round. Don't worry. You see how those people say they see for ring? It is a joke. You, you want to fight me. Me, Gentle Jack. You. You want to fight me. Oh boy, truth of God. And not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, not way, 113 00:45:12.485 --> 00:45:40.531 You say, why don't you fight me? It's okay. It's just a... I'll judge Jehovah. I will die. Try God. It's okay. Let it go. Let it go. You understand? Just know that your body is not like how you used to be. 20... Casablanca. You understand? It's then the people will be scared of you. Now, you're over 50. If I... If I rake you... Baba. Just come and be going. If I rake... What? Okay. 114 00:45:41.020 --> 00:46:06.957 But I can warn you for the last time. You can hear me. The next time, when you get to mora, you can call me. Say, I can come here. Make you ask me some kind of questions. You can sit me down here. You can sit me down here with these medians. But that's medians, we keep here. You can ask me both shite questions. Yeah. 115 00:46:09.758 --> 00:46:35.864 You can slap like this. When I slap you, you go, Oh my God. I did come out on a good night. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. 116 00:46:36.320 --> 00:47:04.450 Thank you all for... Sorry! Let me bring in... I'm lost. Our sponsor. Let me continue this thing and lecture you all about insurance. Oh my God! We are the sponsor of our episode for today. Before you guys came in now, I'm sure you heard Gentle Jack. 117 00:47:04.602 --> 00:47:28.919 understand the person i decided to give a platform he said so many celebrities out there and even civilians i mean normal people out there are no celebrities yes and they don't do insurance yes and they don't uh they don't rate it what do you think about what do you have to say about that why should celebrities 118 00:47:29.290 --> 00:47:46.182 do insurance. Why should normal people that are not celebrities like us, because I'm quite popular. You understand? You can say you don't know me. You can say you don't know me. I'm just seeing you for the first time. Same here. I'm seeing you for the first time. But I believe you're popular. 119 00:47:46.334 --> 00:48:15.410 I don't believe he's popular because I don't know him It is better that I'm popular because who's going to watch this marketing? Yeah, you're using us to make him popular. So, I would ignore what you guys just said and move on. Thank you very much. So why do you think people should go into Diaspora Insurance? 120 00:48:15.713 --> 00:48:27.442 Maybe I should start explaining what the Espro Insurance is all about or maybe people don't know what you do. Me, I know it. I'm a learned. You understand? I'm well-schooled. You understand? 121 00:48:27.830 --> 00:48:55.285 So are you finished from where? It's not your concern. Go ahead. Maybe we can just give people a bit of background like who we are so that they can appreciate why they need the aspirations. Alright, so you're saying you want to introduce yourself? Exactly, introduce yourself. Okay, you're teaching me my job since I don't know my job. Better way. Okay. May I thought you, Opo, would know what to do. Before I explain you, you introduce yourself. Yeah. Who are you? 122 00:48:55.606 --> 00:49:20.210 My name is Dr. Sibet Mandega. I'm the executive director for Diaspora Insurance. And I'm here with my colleague here, Michael. Yeah, my name is Michael. I'm the business manager. Oh, okay. Yes. So you are the business manager? Yeah. So this is the boss? Yeah, it's the executive director. Yeah. I think you should be here. We can switch now. It's fine. Yeah. 123 00:49:21.695 --> 00:49:46.079 So what diaspora insurance is like is a, it's a, it's a specialized insurance company. We are headquartered in the United Kingdom. We focus mainly on Africans who live and work abroad in the diaspora, who are called African diasporas. So they could be living in the USA, Canada, Australia, UK, Europe, and, and, and the Middle East. 124 00:49:46.906 --> 00:50:12.235 So we've got a very good product, which is a funeral insurance, which we designed about 14 years to 15 years ago. And an African can take the policy, cover themselves, cover their families, family members on the policy. If any one of the family members passes away, then the insurance pays out cash to the family. 125 00:50:12.607 --> 00:50:40.889 So basically what you are saying is if, you understand? You know what? Edwin, come. So this is Edwin. I have paid him 5,000 nair. You understand? To be an idiot for a few minutes. So just assume you are explaining to an idiot. You understand? Let it be clear. Be audible. Be clear. Use simple English because, 126 00:50:41.564 --> 00:51:09.087 Diaspora, diaspora, it's not everybody that understands diaspora. You understand? So you use it, break it down in lame man. This is a lame man. You understand? Just assume. Because I'm well-schooled. It's not for me. You understand? So assume this guy does not know anything. His brain is blank. Break it down for him. What diaspora insurance is? Let's go. So what happens normally is for people who live abroad. Okay. 127 00:51:09.492 --> 00:51:28.645 So that's not diaspora, people that live abroad. Yes. Abroad can be anywhere, not only UK. As long as you live outside your country of birth, you qualify as a diaspora. A diaspora. So diaspora basically, it's a word that also means the same as expatriate or foreign national. So... 128 00:51:29.219 --> 00:51:45.301 We call ourselves diaspora because normally people who have immigrated from Africa and living across the globe are called African diasporas. Oh, okay. So we call ourselves diaspora insurance because we identify ourselves with Africans in the diaspora. 129 00:51:45.740 --> 00:52:06.597 So the name itself speaks to our target market, which is African diaspora, and also we provide insurance. So we brought the two names together, diaspora insurance. Insurance. Good, good. That must have, I'm sure it's a smart person that came about just conjuring that name. Yes. It can never be, it can't be him. 130 00:52:07.373 --> 00:52:22.477 That's why I'm here actually, so that I can simplify the terms. I feel like I can understand your own English. In clear terms. So we are talking about our brothers and sisters now. Chapa! 131 00:52:22.477 --> 00:52:52.312 and they are living abroad jackpot is the way you get it so we don't want them to carry the orientation of nigeria about insurance like you said that people don't want to do insurance because in nigeria we do our own thing yes and we find it difficult to believe that you will be there for us when we're no longer there in fact sometimes some of us we doubt ourselves so this cover is for africans living abroad nigeria is inclusive and you you say that is the uh the 132 00:52:52.750 --> 00:52:58.555 It's very brilliant the way we named it as well, but also the product itself. It's very innovative. 133 00:52:58.792 --> 00:53:26.332 So I have some questions if you would like me to go ahead. Yeah, let's go ahead, yeah. So why did you decide to go into diaspora insurance? I mean, there are other works you guys could have done, like zookeeping, you understand? Okay. So why diaspora insurance? Why do you think it's necessary? My colleague Jeff was supposed to be here with us. Unfortunately, he's not here. He's way back from personal experience. 134 00:53:26.753 --> 00:53:42.042 He lost his family members in the UK, very close people and this is where he probably went to about. So sorry, so sorry for cutting you up. What do you mean he lost them? He cannot find them? No, they died. Oh, they died? Oh, so sorry. I thought. 135 00:53:43.038 --> 00:53:58.580 They got missing. You understand? Oh, that's sad. So, unfortunately, in the diaspora there, when someone passes away, the normal process is most, I think, 99% of us, they want to be taken back home to Africa for final resting place. 136 00:53:59.204 --> 00:54:18.003 So he found himself and his family members trying to raise funds to repatriate his loved ones. And unfortunately, there wasn't any structured insurance product that would help with the situation. So experiencing that and also... 137 00:54:18.138 --> 00:54:36.633 looking what was happening around the African community in the UK, you're always in these WhatsApp groups where if someone loses someone, people always send messages like we need to raise up funds. So then we came to the realization that we needed to do something about the situation. 138 00:54:37.072 --> 00:55:04.814 Oh good. And he came up with the idea of creating this unique product, an insurance product that is actually targeted. Africans in the diaspora, they could insure themselves and then when there's a bereavement, then the insurance pays out. That's brilliant. Can I simplify it so you can get that? Baba, I can hear you. I heard you. You understand? 139 00:55:05.523 --> 00:55:34.025 He said that's the CEO, he lost someone. And he lost someone over there. It was hard for him to get them back to his own country for the funeral and all, which is the idea of diaspora insurance. With them, they can help you get it. What else do you call it? The remains, your repatriations. 140 00:55:34.278 --> 00:55:50.444 they probably the process of repatriation. You say I did my own work. Repatriation. But what we do actually is solution selling. We are all in this business because of, we are providing solutions to our people. Because we don't want families to be looking for money in the time of bereavement. 141 00:55:50.444 --> 00:56:17.849 the key thing family needs when they lose their loved ones is money. And the most important figure that they need that time is the money for funeral expenses. So that's why insurance is not all about repatriation. You can use the money for repatriation. You can use the money for funeral expenses in the country of residence. If you are living in the UK, Canada, Europe, we don't think we can die. That's why we don't have insurance. Or we think we are very capable. Whenever it happens, we can bring out the money. 142 00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:42.082 People don't know that in the UK, the average foreign expenses in the UK, even if you want to bury in the UK, is 8,000 pounds minimum. And that is roughly like 16 millionaires. And it can run even to 15,000 pounds depending on the package. I live in central London. To get a six-foot land in London to bury is 10,000 pounds. Only the six feet. Yeah. 143 00:56:42.402 --> 00:57:10.533 It's when they lose their loved ones that they now say that, ah, this thing is this expensive. And there is no funding. But if I can use 10,000 pounds to bury somebody, but it must be, it must be so close to room. And then the most painful part is that not very many people have that kind of money sitting in the bank account. So that's why you now see people resort to go find me, go to the community and say, okay, please help me. I am stranded. This is what we used to do when we were, 144 00:57:10.904 --> 00:57:40.874 people here in Africa, we used to do this communal approach where if there's a funeral, you go around in the village, ask for help. But you can't continue to do that when we are out there in London or in USA and so forth, because it's a more advanced economy. Almost everyone is now on their own and they try to sort their own life. What are the difficulties you face doing this diaspora insurance thing? Yeah, have you ever happened 145 00:57:41.161 --> 00:57:55.977 Someone starts insurance today now. And the next day, the person needs health care of 100 million. I just registered with you guys now. And the next day, I already have a problem with 100 million. But I just started today. 146 00:57:56.433 --> 00:58:23.399 And it feels like that ever happened. This of us is just a pure funeral insurance. We don't do healthcare insurance. Okay. And we don't do medicals or ask people their medical, whether they suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, or any medical problem when you apply. We provide what you call guaranteed acceptance. So that means that anyone can qualify, come from any qualifying nationality. So you're based more on the repatriation thing? No. No, no, no. 147 00:58:23.399 --> 00:58:29.795 cash cover we don't do repatriation what we do is if someone passes away we give you give the family the money 148 00:58:30.385 --> 00:58:54.567 Whatever they want to do with the money, like what Michael was saying, is entirely up to them. Whether they want to be buried locally where they are or to be taken back home to Africa, it's entirely up to the family. So it's a funeral cover. So that when people die, their families, we have one less thing to worry about. They will have peace of mind. 149 00:58:54.736 --> 00:59:08.438 so that no one can pay for any loved ones that is derived but at least like Yoruba said if you are not a good person, you are not a good person 150 00:59:08.843 --> 00:59:35.506 So it's important that we have enough resources to give a dignified sense forth to our loved ones in the time of bereavement. That's what we do. This is not life insurance. It is not health cover. It's just a funeral cover. In fact, the name of our product is Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan. 43 African nationalities qualify and just like he mentioned. 151 00:59:36.080 --> 01:00:03.434 We accept you regardless of your medical condition, but you can't be older than 75. The cut-off age at registration is 75. So if you are 75, maximum you can be registered. But after 75, you can't be registered. But once you are accepted, you can live to 900 years, we will still pay out. So this cover is designed to do everything life insurance cannot do. 152 01:00:04.008 --> 01:00:33.860 so that we can give relief to families. Most life cover terminates at 65 years, 75 years. The highest stamp policy in the UK, as I speak now, is 90 years. And you know, Africans, we don't think we can die before 90. The earliest anybody thinks they can die is like 200 years. When you start speaking about death now, people say, God forbid, God forbid. Which one, babe, you carry come now? This one, I know what you. But it's not if we die, it's when. So if I come to you now, 153 01:00:34.923 --> 01:01:04.083 How do you know I'm not over 65 years? Not 65 years Because I don't look my age I know your age What's my age? We all know your age Whenever I say my age, people say, oh, that's football age, that cannot be my age Because I look very, very young I've met people call me 18-year-old boy Do you mean big? You look very, very big So what you're saying now is Because I was mistaking it for insurance for every other thing It's not like if I get my heart broken 154 01:01:04.522 --> 01:01:17.971 I can insure my hand by my girlfriend because it's not just one girlfriend My remaining girlfriend I'm a cheat, I won't lie I said I have a lot of girls You look like you have a lot of women in your life You have my room with them now 155 01:01:18.983 --> 01:01:43.553 I'm following your footsteps. So I thought it was something that can insure my heart, you understand? And if you get broken, I'll come and collect money, you understand? So you're telling me that it's not about all that. It's a serious business. Actually, that's why we are here. Because when people see insurance, particularly Nigerians, they'll be like, ah, no, which won't be insurance? It scares them. And when we're not here, it's funeral cover, saying, ah, God forbid. 156 01:01:43.553 --> 01:01:53.729 I don't want to cover which one before that. I know one die. So if for instance now, I register, I give you my money. 157 01:01:54.472 --> 01:02:19.312 but because if I'm younger and I you go for me. Who will I collect my money from? You are partnering with institutions. The Aspire Insurance is a company. It's not Michael. It's not him. So we are regulated by the FCA in the UK and we've been practicing now for up to 15 years. We are also now operational in US, Canada, Australia doing the same thing. You've been operating for 15 years? Yeah, 15 years. 158 01:02:19.312 --> 01:02:42.110 it's it's a proper insurance company it's not like individuals i'm not the one collecting your money i'll take your picture of course it's the company that comes to your head when that time of course to give confidence people like what michael said we've been established for the past 15 years and we now cover 43 african nationalities globally 159 01:02:42.110 --> 01:03:07.490 And we are, as an insurance company, we also have an insurance company that sits behind us. And that's called Africa Reinsurance Corporation. So that's one of the biggest reinsurance companies in the world that insures us as an insurance company. So if a claim comes through, we process it and then Africa Reinsurance pays out the claim to clients. 160 01:03:07.490 --> 01:03:36.025 and our underwriter is god when you when you make a claim uh to us is actually paid out by africa reese so 100 guaranteed that that money is going to be paid because people worry like okay if i take an insurance right now we don't trust in this country exactly is that that's right but it's good that you came to the biggest show i don't think you guys will have ever been you would have been in any bigger show than this yes that so you guys came to the right place to do this platform i don't actually give a lot of people this platform to do all this understand but 161 01:03:36.447 --> 01:04:01.945 The CEO begged me because I know the CEO. Jeff, right? I know him. What's his last name? Uzzent. You really know him? I know him. You can't tell. We are tight. Of course. He's no longer the CEO. He's actually our executive chairperson. I thought he said he knows him. He's the CEO now. He's the executive chairman. 162 01:04:01.945 --> 01:04:25.942 I just wanted to know if you guys knew your onions. I know my bones. So he texted me and I said okay, I'll give this a try. I'm sure you guys are really happy. You guys are here. So the next question I'll be asking is Diaspora Insurance. If 163 01:04:26.532 --> 01:04:50.815 I come to you. If I come to you people and I register, I have to be paying a certain amount of money monthly. Right? So what determines how much you guys collect from me? Is it the age or what? That's a good question. Thank you very much. Yeah, good question. Good student. You're a good student. 164 01:04:51.406 --> 01:05:12.905 So I think there are two or three things that determine how much you pay per month. So firstly is your age, right? Like he alluded to that if you are older, your premiums go up. Because mathematically, if you're older, then the probability of you passing away is higher. So our product is rated by actuaries who actually calculate the premiums. 165 01:05:13.141 --> 01:05:35.635 So your age determines how much you pay per month. So someone young like you probably pay less than someone older than me. Then also the amount of cover that you take also determines how much you pay. Obviously, the higher the amount, the higher the premium. So for people in the UK, we go up to £20,000 per person. 166 01:05:36.007 --> 01:06:01.302 So people who live and work in the US, you can be covered up to $30,000. Because I think because the US is a bit far from the continent. Did you just say 20,000 pounds? Pounds, yes. How much is that in Naira? About 40 million. 40 million Naira. Yeah. Oh, wow. And for people in Europe, it's 30,000, 20,000 euros. For people in Australia, 30,000 Australian dollars. 167 01:06:02.213 --> 01:06:28.420 So those are the two things that will determine your premium and also the number of people that you add on the policy. So people have got the freedom to add as many people as they want. So just depending on your budget, and we've got different packages, we start off from £2,500 up to £20,000. So you can choose what suits your budget and what also how you want to... 168 01:06:29.247 --> 01:06:57.952 how we want to use the money. I can choose the type of funding I want to do. Yes. But I want to call KS1 to come and play. Oh, okay. Well, you can decide that, but you know how much we agree. It's called Sum Assured. Yeah. So if you are covered for £20,000, at that we pay the £20,000. If you like, call KS1. I don't know how much KS1 is collected now. If you're a £40 million, you can call KS1. That is... 169 01:06:58.694 --> 01:07:10.456 on you yeah yeah so what we do is to give you the money and if you want to bring in any celebrities or whoever to officiate the essence is to cover the essentials that's the essence so that you can 170 01:07:10.928 --> 01:07:36.123 bury your loved ones. You keep saying essential. It's essential for KS1 to come. Yeah. You understand? Yes. Yes. We want to celebrate here. You can actually. You understand? We covered the people of KS1. So you people that you want to call KS1, why not? 171 01:07:36.646 --> 01:07:57.217 my home is but the key thing is to make sure that you when that happens the money is paid out immediately and then the family doesn't have to go around in 24 hours after we receive the proof of debts yeah after we receive the proof of that we pay out in 24 hours so that because the key thing people need really is money 172 01:07:57.773 --> 01:08:20.673 So once the necessary information has come through the office, even within an hour or two hours. You mentioned that you don't ask about sickness. You don't ask about... On application. So what we do is called a guaranteed acceptance. What we do is we want to make sure that everyone qualifies and the application process becomes easy. The reason why we do that is that also on the claims process. 173 01:08:21.162 --> 01:08:47.403 If we had asked you a whole list of questions to say, do you suffer from that, that, that, that, and then say, no, no, no, no, no, no. That means that when you make a claim, we also need to ascertain whether your cause of death was from one of the things that you said you didn't suffer from in the beginning. Because insurance is all about uttermost good faith. So you have to declare, like when you take life insurance, you have to declare what you suffer from. And also they will ask whether your mom or dad, 174 01:08:47.403 --> 01:09:15.382 suffers from some of these diseases that can be passed on to the next generation. But that process, when you're doing it, what is called medical underwriting, is quite a lengthy process. It can take a few months to get all the information that you require to make sure that what is declared and disclosed is correct. Because you have to actually go to your doctor to ask them, okay, give us a medical history to make sure that what it declares is correct. 175 01:09:15.770 --> 01:09:44.035 And when you pass away, you also do the same thing that in life insurance, you have to go through that process. So that takes long, probably about two months, three months. So, but in our business, what you want to do is to make sure that when there's a funeral, we pay out cash immediately. But once we start do the medical underwriting, that's going to delay the payout of the money. So that's going to defeat the purpose of our product, which we say we want to intervene immediately to feminists when they lose their loved ones. 176 01:09:44.373 --> 01:10:05.315 So we've done away the medical underwriting. We don't want to know whether you smoke, whether you drink, your BMI, whether you have any medical history. How do you know if I'm dead or not in nine years? How do we know? How will you guys check? How will you know? How do I not pretend? When you're talking to us, then you know you're not dead. 177 01:10:05.500 --> 01:10:20.198 I actually like the way you speak. You speak so well. It's obvious that you're educated. I don't know how to mention your name. You have a fine face. 178 01:10:20.401 --> 01:10:45.325 I don't usually admire men, but you have a family. You look like Junasi. You know Junasi. He looks like Junasi. He knows Junasi. He's a bad boy. All right, guys. You've heard it all on Process Made Me Ask, Diaspora Insurance. Is there any other thing you would like to add to it? Guys, the solution you've been waiting for is finally here. A cover that protects you. 179 01:10:45.730 --> 01:11:07.921 regardless of your location, the cover that is transnational, is global. Anywhere you may be in time, you have your peace of mind. A cover that does not expire regardless of your age, even though you are the modern-day Metusela, you want to live to 900, this cover will still work. A cover that accepts everyone, inasmuch as you are not more than 875 at registration. 180 01:11:08.258 --> 01:11:28.070 and we pay out in 24 hours so that you can use the money for funeral expenses and you are the boss you have the flexibility and power this is not a substitute to live insurance it is just to cover the gap in the market so as to give relief to africans living abroad 181 01:11:28.846 --> 01:11:55.745 So it is important that you reach out and protect yourself today. Insurance is the only product you buy when you don't need it. Stop saying, no, I'm not dying now. No, you don't want to cover people who are dying now. You want to cover people that know that one day they will die. You understand? It's not if, it's when. It's all about planning, right? It's all about planning and making sure that if anything happens, your family is not under distress. 182 01:11:56.065 --> 01:12:23.892 Because losing someone is quite painful and very stressful, but it's even worse when there's no money. So this is what you call a double trauma or double tragedy that people experience in the diaspora. So we want people to mourn their loved ones and lay them to rest in dignity. Because you don't want your... Let's say for example, I've been living and working in the UK for the past 24, 22 years, right? 183 01:12:24.348 --> 01:12:42.843 The last thing that I don't want is like the last chapter of my life. If I die, then my family is posting a message that goes around the world saying they're fundraising for CBT funeral. Please help us. We're looking for $8,000. But I've been living and working and living a luxurious life, driving fancy cars. 184 01:12:43.298 --> 01:13:11.800 But the only thing that I didn't do was to plan for my eventuality. So what we're saying is, let's plan ahead. It's not like we don't know that's going to happen. It's going to happen. But like what Mike is saying is, the matter is when. So when that happens, be prepared. We are there to support you. When the claim comes through, we pay out. And to debt, actually to give people confidence, we paid more than $6 million in terms of claims over the last 14 years. 185 01:13:12.256 --> 01:13:35.105 So we've helped many families across the world. We also work a lot with communities across the world, in the UK, Europe, and we sponsor a lot of events. Maybe Mike can talk about the Nigerian communities that we've worked with, that we support. I'm the biggest. And we are very proud of what we do as a business. Thank you very much. Thank you very, very much. So what do you ask? 186 01:13:36.100 --> 01:13:51.355 Trying to tell you guys is plan for the inevitable. You understand? It doesn't matter. Everybody wants to live long. You understand? It's obvious. I'm going to live long. You understand? We all want our life right now to be good. 187 01:13:51.355 --> 01:14:12.888 is planning that the aftermath should be better also exactly do not put our loved ones in uh to be running else else skelter to be coming online to beg for money it's embarrassing you won't want to see that out there you understand so this is a very secured way a protective way uh for all that to go well you understand diaspora insurance 188 01:14:12.888 --> 01:14:31.518 Peace of mind guarantee. Peace of mind guarantee. As I check them out, it's so good to have you guys here. Ambe, you Barbie, I'll reach you first. Thank you. Thank you very much. Let me stand up and reach you.
