Narrating my experiences and the circumstances in my journey to 
Nollywood will encourage everyone in there various field of life. 



I joined nollywood first of all from my dream its sounds so funny but that’s the truth.



I started seeing myself acting with so many top actors in my dream 
and then no way to join , when I heard that one of my paternal uncle was
 into movie I will not mention his name but he knows himself , my late 
mum gave me some money to travel to Enugu and tell him my dream of 
becoming an actor. 



I got to his house and explained to him only for him to discourage 
telling me all negative aspect of been an actor, I cried bitterly in my 
heart as a little girl then , when he saw that I was almost bringing out
 tears he now told me that if I insist the only help he can render me 
was to give me a guys number that stays in aba called (prince) I replied
 with so much pains in my heart no problem uncle and later in the 
evening I left Enugu to my village and told my mum everything and she 
told me not to worry that God will make a way for me. 



The next day I traveled to aba where I was staying with my late 
sister who was schooling at abia state polytechnic then and also told 
her she now suggested I should call the prince first and when I called 
him i introduced myself and he told me my uncle already told him about 
me that I should get ready he will take me to ogbor hill aba for an 
audition then I didnt know what was audition but I played along , 
reaching there they were so much crowd and I became so tensed , after 
everything I was shocked to hear that I was the winner and will be the 
one to mime the musical video and I was so happy the director asked how 
much he will pay me I told him he should give me sometimes to go home 
and ask my elder sister , and after everything I started coming for 
rehersal. 



One faithful day the director asked me to see him in his hotel room 
and I turned him down , the next day I came for rehearsal he brought 
another girl to compete with me and finally he took away the role from 
me , and all our neighbor already knew I was going for the rehearsal due
 to so much excitement, and when I got home that day I cried and cried 
and cried my late sister said to me chioma do you want to kill yourself 
don’t worry if acting is your destiny it will surely come to pass, and 
within some days I started getting myself and the director called me and
 said for turning me down you will never be a star here in aba as far as
 he is concerned and then I was with secondary school certificate , due 
to the threatening from him I now traveled back to kogi and enrolled in 
college of education and told myself Chioma forget everything about 
movie, to my creates surprise I was still having that similar dream 
where am shooting with stars and after my school I now relocated to PH 
and finally joined movie till date and God has been faithful to me.
