Former actor in popular Ghanaian television series ‘Afia Schwarzenegger’, Nana Tonardo, known in real life as Emil Wood, says he only takes money from affluent men in the country.

The TV character, with numerous ‘facial piercings’, in an interview with Zionfelix on Celebrity Ride made the above statement when he was asked by the host if it was true he had the habit of asking people for money, as rumours speculated.

Although Nana Tonardo did not deny the hearsay, he vehemently said he does not take money from “just anybody.”

According to him, he only takes money from ‘big men’ in Ghana like CEO of Despite Group of Companies Kwame Despite and other influential personalities.

In his words, “I don’t know who I can ask for money from in Ghana, the only people I can call, are the well to do. Is it out of place if I go and ask Despite for money? If I need money from Despite and his colleagues I will rather go to them than call and demand for money on phone.”

Tonardo boastfully detailed how easy it was for him to travel since he only had to place a few calls to those ‘big men’ and all his travelling documents are readily made available.

"If I want money I will go and ask them for money. Even when I am traveling and need plane a ticket it will be given to me. So why do I bother asking just and body for money?

The father of one, who has an 11-year-old daughter, further disclosed to Zionfelix that he's a world renowned pimp adding that he is able to connect, not only Ghanaian women but women all over the world to rich men who deploy their services.

“And I take my commission,” he quickly added.

When asked by the host if he deals in drugs, Nana Tonardo laughed and said he would have been caught long ago if he was a drug dealer because he cannot pretend.

He claimed it will be easy for immigration officers at the airport to suspect and arrest him if he had any illegal drug in his possession.

"I would have been arrested if I was a drug dealer, Zion the police and immigrations offices at the airport are very intelligent, one thing about me is I can’t pretend so will be easy for the officials to notice any strange item in my possession’’, told Zionfelix on celebrity ride.
