Chioma Chukwuka delves into yoruba culture for Seven Doors
Nollywood actress Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha unveiled the cultural and linguistic hurdles she overcame to portray her role in Netflix’s latest series, Seven Doors.
The series, which explores themes of kingship, love, betrayal, and restitution, sees Chukwuka play an Igbo queen married to a Yoruba king, played by Femi Adebayo.
In a recent interview on TVC, the actress revealed that she had to learn Yoruba specifically for the role. However, the Yoruba required was far from the casual, everyday dialect.
“I had to learn Yoruba for my role in Seven Doors,” she said. “The Yoruba in the movie was not the regular one spoken in Lagos State, so I had to be very particular about the tone.”
Her ability to step outside her comfort zone and fully immerse herself in the role underscores her versatility and commitment as an actress. Seven Doors is streaming now on Netflix, offering audiences a blend of cultural depth and compelling storytelling.
Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.
“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.
The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.
Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.
His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.
Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.
However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
