9jaNollywoodstars

Ebube Nwagbo, 24, is one of the pretty faces in Nollywood. The eldest in a family of six grew up in Warri, Delta State. She attended Federal Polytechnic, Oko and later Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka, both in Anambra State where she got a degree in Mass Communication.She started acting in 2003 while she was still in school.She enjoy watching movies as a kid and this helped to shape her interest in school.
She asked a friend who was in the movies how to go about it. He later told her about an auditioning taking place somewhere.She went for the audition and got a very good role. That was how she sarted in 2003.

The first movie she acted was Arrested By Love played a prominent role.It was challenging and interesting at the same time because she acted with the people she considered superstars and never met before then.She thought she was doing something extra-ordinary and had to be a very good girl.But with the help of her director and few friends who believed she could do it,even though she didn’t believe in herself, it came out well.

She is surprised about the way it turned out.The industry is so large now and for one to still be there and make impact it’s something else.She met so many people that started acting before her and know where they are today. She always remembered the day she went for the auditioning and met those who started acting before her but today they are still where they are and wouldn’t compare herself with them. She believe if you know what you want and work hard for it, you will get it.She has cted in between 30 and 40 films. Some of the recent ones I’ve done are African Soldier, Cadet, Stronger Than Pain, Zenith of Evil, Red Card, etc.

Acting has brought a whole lot of things to her - the good, the bad and the ugly. The good because the money is coming and it’s okay but could be better, the fame, it opens doors and people love you. The bad side of it, is that you tend to live your life for people, you are no longer like the normal girl out there. The ugly side of it is that you don’t have any secret to yourself anymore, whatever you are doing is for the public.

Her role models are Liz Benson and Joke Sylva in Nigerian film industry. Then outside Nigeria; she liked Julia Roberts. She like the personality and acting of Liz Benson. Even now that people don’t see her much on screen they still talk about her. That is who she wants to be like. Then for Joke Sylva I like her carriage and acting too.

She love sleeping and could sleep the whole day. She read too because she love reading. She like watching movies a lot because it was from movies I developed the interest to act. She likes her phone so much. She also loves listening to music. She model and sing but for commercial purpose occasionally. It’s not like she have an album but someone featured her in his music because of my face. But what she prefers is stage performance.


Her ideal man has to respect her and has to understand what she does because if he doesn’t there are likely to be problems. He has to be God-fearing too. Some people talk about love but love without respect is something else.
