Chioma Chukwuka Career
Mrs Akpotha had always dreamt of being on TV from her childhood. Although her parents didn’t want her to be involved in the industry, because her mum felt the industry was for loose girls. Suffice it to say that wherever there is a will, there will always be a way.
So in 1998, she had the opportunity to go for an audition. After the audition, she was chosen to play the role of little Skita in a movie. She did well in the movie, and this allowed her to take on other minor roles until the year 2000 when she played her first major role in the movie – The Apple. Since then, she has been making waves in the industry and has advanced from being just an actress to a movie producer, and director.
She is inspired by Kate Henshaw-Nuttall’s dedication, discipline, focus and hardworking personality. Chioma also gets inspiration from the veteran actress – Joke Silva, and Ramsey Nouah. Thus far, she has featured in over 150 movies as an actress, and producer.

Life Lesson From Chioma Chukwuka
Life is not a bed of roses, so you should always expect obstacles and challenges, and as such, you should always find a way to overcome them. Don’t just relax, and let anything go.
Chioma’s parents, especially her mum, didn’t want her involved in the movie industry, but she still looked for a way around it, until her mother accepted her decision. We all need our support system, we can’t just survive alone. Therefore we need to find a way to convince them to come onboard.
Also, learn to be patient in all your endeavours. Chioma had her waiting period before she came to limelight. Had she given up, we won’t be hearing about Chioma Chukwuka today. In the journey of entrepreneurship, success does not happen in a flash. You have to work hard, be consistent and consistently show up everyday.
