Ngozi Nwosu worries that Nollywood movies aren’t as relatable anymore.

Ngozi Nwosu became famous for her role as Peaceful Peace in the 1990s TV show Fuji House of Commotion, which Amaka Igwe directed. Ngozi has gained fame for her ability to take on new acting jobs without getting tired.

In the show, she played Chief Fuji’s third wife and brought a lot of laughter to viewers. Now 60 years old, she’s been a part of Nollywood for a long time and has seen many changes in the industry.

Ngozi will star in a new movie called Broken Portrait, a deeply personal story for her. In an interview, she talked about her career journey.

“It’s been a lifelong career for me. Acting is both work and play and sometimes we get attached to the characters we play.

It can be emotionally intense. Despite challenges, we keep going because of our passion and determination. We stay focused until the end.”

Ngozi also talked about how Nollywood has changed over time: “A lot has changed. When we started, we used VHS tapes. Now, movies have improved a lot technically.

But there are challenges. Nowadays, there’s less time for rehearsals and discussions. Some new stories lack depth and originality.”

She explained why this might be happening: “Nowadays, many people who aren’t experienced are becoming producers. They churn out stories that lack substance, often copying foreign movies. There’s less collaboration and trust among actors now.”

Ngozi shared what attracted her to her role in Broken Portrait: “The story is very emotional. It’s about a mother fighting for her child, which touched me deeply. Addiction is a serious issue, and this film powerfully tells that story.”

Reflecting on her experience filming Broken Portrait, she said: “It was emotional. There were moments when I had to take breaks because of the intensity of the scenes. As an actor, you have to immerse yourself in the character’s emotions.”

She also discussed how she chooses roles: “For me, the story has to make sense. I also consider the character I’m playing and sometimes the financial aspect. But a good story is always the priority.”

Ngozi emphasized her approach to acting: “Every role I take, I give it my best. Despite being older now, I’m versatile and committed to portraying each character authentically.”

In summary, Ngozi Nwosu’s career has spanned decades in Nollywood, and she continues to bring passion and dedication to her roles, including her upcoming film, Broken Portrait.
