Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi has opened up about why she returned to Nigeria after her stay in the UK, what she finds rewarding about acting, and, ultimately, her goals.

In an interview with her alma mater University of Wolverhampton‘s magazine WLV Life, Adesua described her experience, studying in the university, as life changing.

She said:  “It is the foundation upon which my career has been built.

The actress had for a long time known she wanted to be in the arts, wanting to be become an actor but also wanting a course that would focus not only on the practical side of the arts, but also on the theoretical side, too.

On moving to Nigeria, Adesua said she had planned, when she left the UK, to stay only for 3 months.

But she arrived in Nigeria and fell in love with the budding film industry, and wanted to be known as one of the people who helped shape it.

Everything boils down to love, she said. Love for the arts, love for Nollywood, and love for Nigeria.

About her achievements so far, she said winning the Best Actress in a Drama award for the movie, “Falling,” at the 2016 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards has been the proudest moment for her.

Of course, like every other actor, Adesua would love to win an Oscar. “I would love the opportunity to put Nigeria and the UK on the map,” she said.
