Nollywood actress and producer, Stephanie Okereke-Linus, in
a recent interview, said she doesn't miss appearing in Nollywood movies. The former beauty queen, Stephanie Okereke-Linus, who got
married in 2012 to Linus Idahosa in a fairy tale wedding, at the magnificent
Abbaye de Cernay, just outside Paris, France,
has said she does not miss appearing in Nollywood films.
The actress, who was a regular face on TV screens, took more
to directing/producing/script writing than acting except of course, in her own
movies, shortly after her wedding.
In an excerpt from a recent interview she granted the PUNCH,
she said of her almost scarce appearance in movies:
"It is not about missing the Nigerian movie industry because I get projects all the time - it's if I want to be involved in them. I am not missing it; in a way we are trying to build the industry. At the level we are, we are looking for how we can build Nollywood to the level that everyone will be completely proud of the industry. That is the stage I am right now. Therefore, it is not about doing or acting in many movies. Movies that I need to do have to be important and strategic - the movies have to be of top-notch quality. I am still a regular face in Nollywood because I am still needed in the industry. People still approach me for various jobs. It all depends on if I want to do the jobs all the time".
