    Public execution will curb kidnapping – Williams Uchemba

    Actor Williams Uchemba has called for public execution of convicted kidnappers in Nigeria.

    In a video on Instagram, Uchemba argued that Nigeria needs to enforce its constitution and impose harsher penalties to deter kidnapping and other crimes.

    He drew parallels with parenting, saying if a child isn’t taught consequences for wrongdoing, they’ll grow into a hardened criminal.

    In his words: “When a child begins to steal meat from the mother’s pot and the mother upon catching the child does very little in terms of punishment or showing the child this is the consequences of this, what the mother is doing is she is breeding a hardened criminal that will eventually grow up and even destroy her own life or become a national disgrace to the family”.

    Uchemba stated that public execution would help curb crime rates, and even suggested a dedicated channel for showcasing such executions, similar to Big Brother Naija.

    The father of two emphasised that kidnapping carries a death penalty in Nigeria, but the process is often shrouded in secrecy, with little information on the fate of convicted individuals.

    He added: “We have a constitution that governs this country and I do not see why when it is time to execute that constitution, we are not as vocal as we should be.

    “The capital punishment for kidnapping is death. Some of these kidnappers are caught. We don’t hear anything whether they are being imprisoned or executed. If you ask me, there should be a dedicated Channel just like BBNaija that is dedicated to catching some of these people that do these things and are publicly executed because until we start executing consequences to certain actions, we cannot see the results”.

    He urged Nigerians to be more vocal about enforcing the law and imposing stiffer penalties for crimes like kidnapping.

    Williams referenced China’s approach to capital punishment for similar crimes.

    “We want to be like China but we do not have the balls that China has. The punishment for kidnapping and corruption in China is death”, he concluded.

    This call comes amid rising kidnapping cases and fears ahead of the yuletide season.

    Other public figures, like Ruger, have also emphasised the need for enhanced security measures to protect citizens, especially those returning home for the holidays.

    Don’t mistake cash flow for profit, Williams Uchemba cautions business owners

    Actor and entrepreneur Williams Uchemba has advised small and medium-scale business owners to differentiate between cash flow and profit.

    In an Instagram video shared on Tuesday, Uchemba explained that putting money into a business does not equal profit until the initial capital is fully recovered.

    “If you invest one million naira into a business, you’ve not started making money until that one million naira has returned from customers,” he said.

    He added that many entrepreneurs confuse handling cash with making a profit, a mistake that often leads to dipping into their capital and eventually running out of funds to restock.

    “That is why bookkeeping is important,” he added. “If you buy something for ₦2,000 and sell it for ₦2,300, you bring out that ₦2,000 because it’s not your own. Your money there is ₦300. Don’t go and start eating the ₦2,000 thinking you’re making money”, he added.

    According to him, in Igbo, this practice is called ‘Isiego’, which means separating capital from profit.

    Uchemba, who also runs Prosthesis Entertainment and the Williams Uchemba Foundation, stressed that poor money management and disregard for proper records are major reasons many small businesses collapse within a short time.

    Stop requesting for things you can’t afford from men – Actor Williams Uchemba

    Actor Williams Uchemba has urged women to reassess their approach when asking men for material things.

    He emphasised that women should not request items they cannot afford themselves, as this mindset can hinder their chances of finding a life partner.

    Uchemba said: ‘’There is a mentality that is crippling most women in this generation. When you say there is no husband, this is the reason why. I don’t know why you think you have any business requesting things from a man that you can never get to afford in your wildest dream even if you work for ten years. It is a spirit and until you deal with it, there are some of you that will end up not getting married because no man will want to put you in their house.

    “It has become like a pandemic now where most women now think that it is okay to make very crazy requests.

    ‘’Why are you asking for a GWagon or iPhone 15 when you know that you cannot even afford iPhone 10 with how much you have in your account, It is a spirit of greed. It has so many things to do with some element of ‘Jezebelian spirit’ and until you deal with it, no man will put you in his house.”

    He encouraged women to adopt a more considerate approach, focusing on the needs of the family rather than personal desires.

     Uchemba shared his own experience, praising his wife for only requesting what their family needs, allowing him to focus on her needs.

    It’s wrong to have children out of wedlock – Williams Uchemba

    Actor Williams Uchemba, has spoken out against men who intentionally impregnate women without intending to marry them.

    He condemned the behavior, calling it “madness” and “stupidity,” and warned it can have devastating consequences for both the men and their children.

    Uchemba emphasised that such actions stem from a fear of commitment and a dislike for marriage, which he believes is a sacred institution established by God.

    He argued that this behavior not only destroys the lives of the individuals involved but also contributes to the problems faced by society, citing the fact that many issues stem from broken homes.

    The actor also addressed women, particularly his colleagues in the entertainment industry, who intentionally have children out of wedlock, urging them to stop embracing what he termed “Western nonsense.”

    He encouraged them to reconsider their values and prioritise building strong, committed relationships.

    “Hey guys, what’s this madness that we do now? Especially some of the young men I see now, what’s this stupidity? If you think you are screwing, you intentionally impregnate your girlfriend to have a kid because you don’t want to be committed to a woman and don’t like the idea of marriage. It is an idea from the pit of hell, and if you are planning to do such a thing, remove yourself from that madness because what you don’t know is you are not just destroying your life, but you’re also destroying the life of that child, who you might not be there to raise.

    “Majority of the problems of the world come from a broken home because there is a reason why God put marriage institutions there.

    “You have no business getting someone pregnant because you have selfish reasons for not wanting to be committed to any woman. You’re a selfish person, and it will affect that child.

    “And to those girls who think they can intentionally have kids with their boyfriends. I see that madness going on in the entertainment industry. Who has taught you the Western nonsense? Did your parents raise you like that? It needs to stop, you’re destroying family values,”, he said.

    “You ladies have made up your mind to prevent Nigerian men from going to heaven but it won’t work because I’ve left the gym. I’ve set up a gym in my house because I cannot cope. I want to make heaven.”
