Pixs Post:13 Nollywood Stars Who Dumped Acting for Politics (Pixs)




1. Richard Mofe Damijo is the present Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta State, Nigeria. He is making it big and seems to have almost totally 'dumped' Nollywood.
Continue after the break.


2. Bob Manuel Udokwu is the Senior Special Adviser on Creative Media to Anambra State Governor. He has not been seen in Nollywood movies as frequently as  before.

3. Onyeka Onwenu is the Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of the National Centre for Women Development (NCWD) Abuja-Nigeria.

4. Nkiru Sylvanus was the Special Adviser to Imo State Governor until she was sacked from office. It is not clear if she wants to get back to the screen or continue with her political other assignments.

5. Hilda Dokubo, a Commissioner to the Rivers State government, has not been sighted in the Nollywood for sometime now.

6. Affarm Okereke is a Nollywood director presently and is now the Senior Special Assistant to the Enugu State Governor on Media Matters. Even now, Afam Okereke is contesting for local government chairman ship seat in Enugu. It doesn't look like he's coming back to the movie industry.
