June 28, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Adunni Ade, has opened up concerning her three-year ban from the English speaking part of the Nigerian film industry.
Adunni disclosed this in a recent Instagram live chat, saying that she was hurt during the period she suddenly stopped getting roles from casting directors or producers.
She said: “I was knocked off English part of Nollywood for a few years and it was at the time when my career should have been up there, getting recognized and getting awards that was recognized all over Africa and being part of projects that had grossed millions in the cinemas. Then from nowhere being pushed out of the scene. That hurts. It was for about three plus years. I am still not there but I am working my way back up. I found another strategy to get back up there.”
