7 Nollywood Kids Following in Their Parents Footsteps and Becoming Actors

A number of Nollywood children seem to have caught the acting bugs that their parents possess. Today, we’ll be counting down 7 Nollywood kids who are following in their parent’s footsteps and becoming actors. Without further ado, let’s jump right into it!

1. Eyiyemi Afolayan

Eyiyemi Afolayan is the daughter of the very successful Nigerian movie director, Kunle Afolayan. Eyiyemi Afolayan starred as Princess Omowunmi in Kunle’s hit Netflix production, Anikulapo, and during interviews has stated that she intends to pursue a career in acting. From her performance in Anikulapo, I think it’s safe to say that Eyiyemi is a talent to look out for.

2. D’marion

Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has two son, D’marion and Ayden, and it looks like her son D’marion might have caught the acting bug just like his mother. D’marion starred in the hit Nollywood movie Soole, which also happens to be executively produced by his mother Adunni. It looks like D’marion will be carrying on the acting trade in the Ade household.

3. Priscilla Ojo

Nollywood influencer and businesswoman Priscilla Ojo is adding another feather to her cap as she’s ready to fully step into the role of actress. Priscilla who has done a few acting stints here and there especially in her younger years, but now she is revealing in a new interview that she intends to do a lot more in the acting space and pursue a career also an actress. I’m very interested to see how Priscilla’s acting would compare to her mother’s, star actress Iyabo Ojo.

4. Adaeze Onuigbo

Adaeze Onuigbo is a Nollywood actress who has starred in a number of productions including Laurie, Obambala, Money and Blood, and more. Adaeze is already making quite the name for herself in the acting world that sometimes people forget that she is also the daughter of another Nollywood star. In fact, Adaeze Onuigbo is the daughter of actress, Oby Onuigbo.

5. Ahmad Nuhu

Actor Ali Nuhu is one of the most popular actors out of the Kannywood sector of the Nigerian movie industry. Ali Nuhu has acted in a number of blockbuster movies and made quite the recognizable name for himself, and his son Ahmad Nuhu is now on the path to do same. Ahmad Nuhu has starred in a number of Kannywood productions and shows no plans of slowing down. In no time, it seems Ahmad may just get to the same level of recognition as his dad, Ali Nuhu.

6. Uju Okoli

Obi Okoli is a very recognizable face in the Nigerian movie industry. He has a daughter, Uju Okoli, who has also caught the acting bug and has gone on to star in a number of Nollywood movies including Crazy Mother, The Curse, and others.

7. Purity and Angel Okojie

Newest actors on the block, Purity and Angel Okojie are the daughters of very popular actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie and in an upcoming movie starring alongside their mother, Purity and Angel are wearing their acting hats. It looks like not one, but two, of the Okojie children might have caught the acting bug and plan to follow in the footsteps of their mother.
