Shortly after, she was cast as one of the lead roles in EbonyLife TV’s ‘Sons of The Caliphate’. Apart from that, she is also due to star in Nollywood movie Hakunde alongside A list actors. This actress has no plans of slowing down anytime soon and is determined to make her mark in the Nollywood movie scene.
Yakubu Mohammed
With a role in Genevieve Nnaji’s directorial debut, a role on the widely acclaimed ‘Sons of The Caliphate’ and more projects on the way, Yakubu Mohammed is another Kannywood superstar on his way to making it in Nollywood as well.
