Now married to Bishop Great Ameye of the Freedom Assembly in Jesse, a community in Ethiope Local Government Area of Delta State, she will be appearing in a new film that focuses on the plight of women afflicted with vesico vaginal fistula in Nigeria.
But fellow thespian Stephanie Okereke had to persuade her to accept a role in the movie.
“Stephanie did a lot to convince me that I would love to be a part of the project after going through the script. I had already decided not to be involved in any film that did not reflect my religious beliefs.
“But after reading the script, I was touched by the message in it. Then I decided to play the part of a nurse in the film”
The film is due for release on the stable of Next Page Production soon.
