How did you come into acting?
I started acting in nursery 2. I wrote my first amateur script in primary 6. When I gained admission to secondary school, I joined the drama club and was made president in SS3. Before then, in SS2, I featured in my first movie, Death Warrant and the late J.T. Tom West was my director. After secondary school, I joined Alpha Bash Theater Group based in Ikeja, Lagos. Also, I was the secretary of my church’s drama group. In 2008, I featured in another movie, Life Secret. My acting career continued from there.
What was the experience like acting in your first movie?
My first movie, Death Warrant was a bit scary because I was so young and in secondary school then. But then the movie had lots of top actors. I was given a challenging role because my director knew I had the talent for it. At the end of the day, I enjoyed playing the role because it made me bolder.
How many movies have you done so far?
