Actress and content creator, Ejiro Onojaife, has said that getting a movie role in Nollywood is tough and competitive.
She stressed that she puts in a lot of effort to prove her worth in the industry.
The actress said, “Indeed, it is a tough and competitive industry. Like every other industry out there, it is tough coming into a space you aren’t familiar with. I had to quickly learn that nobody was going to offer me these roles on a platter.
“I had to put in the work. I jumped on as many monologue challenges as I could find, recreated scenes from my favourite movies, went to film school, made an acting reel, and constantly showed up for auditions.
“I have been able to show these producers and directors the stuff that I am made up of and what I’m capable of. I have been able to carve out a space in the industry by making sure that I execute every role I get like they would be my last.”
