In an industry where most actors shy away from important but 'controversial' topics, the actress is one to speak up.
In 2015, the actress who has starred in some notable movies, took to Instagram to speak against discrimination in Nollywood.
"This is where we started! so we say no to discrimination....what u term #ASABAMOVIES is Nollywood....our cinematography is very good, our actors are the BEST, our Directors are very good...and our scripts are better!" she wrote.
