I want to be better – Joke Silva, actress

For me, I don’t do New Year’s resolutions but I can tell you that 2016 was a very good year and there is nothing that I want to change about myself in 2017. I will continue working on Heartbeat the musical though and definitely, Lufodo Academy will re-open this year so I’d be busy with that.

New Year’s resolutions, not my style – Nobert Young, actor

The thing is that I don’t really make New Year’s resolutions. 2016 was a very good year for me, apart from the elections that we lost. I look forward to a better 2017.

I want to be a better actor – Alex Usifo, actor and producer

There’s really nothing wrong about having New Year’s resolutions, especially if you have some habits that are not good enough, such as smoking and alcoholism. By the grace of God, I don’t have such habits.

But when it comes to my desires, I desire to be more Christ-like, especially in accordance with the scriptures. I naturally will want to improve this year, and become a better actor and producer.

I will stop to procrastinate – Osita Iheme, actor

For the New Year, I will be having a changed way of thinking. I will start off whatever I decide to do immediately. I will not procrastinate, and once I have an idea, I will act on it. I will manage my time carefully, and I will not indulge in irrelevant and frivolous activities. 

I will spend more time with family – Funsho Adeolu, Yoruba actor

Nothing much is going to change about me in the New Year, but I’ve resolved to be closer to God in 2017, and that’s my resolution.

I will also endeavour to spend more quality time with my family, because my job hasn’t  allowed me to do that as much as I’d like.

Lastly, I will also give back to the society because that’s very important. When God blesses one, it’s important to also remember and be of help to less-privileged people. 

I will only make changes, if necessary – Foluke Daramola-Salako, actress

I wouldn’t say I believe in New Year’s resolutions because it puts you under undue pressure. You can have projections at anytime. This year, I want to complete my book.

I will render as much service as I can – Bimbo Akintola, actress

I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions because I don’t think you have to wait for a New Year to make changes in your life. At any point, you should be able to look in the mirror and modify anything you don’t like about yourself. They also say change is the only constant thing in life, and as human beings, we must continually change.

Of course, I will make changes in my life in the New Year if I notice anything that needs change. But it’s not like I will specially draw up a list of resolutions.

I will live consciously – Taiwo Ajai-Lycett, actress

My New Year’s resolution is to continue to render as much service as I possibly can and to be as responsible as I possibly can. I also want to be a source of joy to many people. Part of my commitment is to be able to make a difference in peoples’ lives. 2016 was an astounding year. This January, I am getting ready to coach people through acting and voice training classes. 2017 promises to be an incredibly busy year for me. There is nothing in particular that I want to change about myself in the new year, I just pray for good health and I wish to be stronger, alert and more positive as an inpidual in the new year. 

I want to be more focused – Ayo Adesanya, actress

In 2017, I want to be a better inpidual. I want to be better than what I was in the previous year. 2016 definitely opened some doors for me concerning my career and I thank God for that. I pray that it can only get better this year. I also want to be much freer and relaxed as an inpidual in 2017 because I think I am  too serious. Most importantly, I want to be closer to God and love him more.
