We are not regarded as pioneers of Nollywood – Cock Crow at Dawn actress, Ene Oloja

One of Nollywood’s pioneers, Ene Oloja, who became a household name in Nigeria of the 1980’s and 90’s for her compelling acts on the screen and stage and was famous for her appearance in a soap opera, Cock Crow at Dawn, has opened up on a wide range of issues including her turbulent but steady journey into the acting industry. In this interview with newsmen, Ene also speaks on the shabby treatment meted on veterans of the film industry and her plans to return to the Nollywood, among others.

The mother of one, after moving to the USA in 1991, joined the non-profit sector and has starred in a few films there. She has however not left her root as she continues to follow the progress of Nollywood back home, of which she is undoubtedly a pioneer.
