STORY HIGHLIGHTS

The 90s and 00s saw the arrival of quite a number of Nigerian Child stars in the Entertainment industry. These former child stars have grown, debuting amazing new looks

While some of them have moved on to different professions or disappeared totally, some others are still in the movie industry, growing and entertaining movie lovers.

In the 90s, these child stars held sway in the different fields of entertainment in Nigeria. Some were child actors while others were kid musicians who achieved a measure of fame for their creative output.

Fast forward to 2017, most of them have grown, become graduates and as is often the case, they aren’t as popular as they used to be as the world has since moved on. In this report, we present a number of child celebs, their new looks and what they’ve been up to in the last decade…

1. Williams Uche

Williams Uche Mbah became famous for playing roles of the wayward child in movies while he was still just 7years of age.

Now the Africa Youth UN Ambassador, looks almost unrecognizable as he has transformed to a cute hunk over 15years later.

2. Sharon Ezeamaka

Sharon Ezeamaka who started acting at the age of 5 (if you don’t know her then you don’t know anybody in Nollywood) is now a big woman, she has worked with FAB Magazine just after giving herself a break from acting. She is back with the movie SHUGA but this time not as a child actor.

3. Benita Okojie

One mention of the word, ‘Osemudiamen’ and images of this pretty all-grown up child star will flood your memory.

Benita is today a graduate of English language from Redeemers University and she still sings. Her last single, ‘Kabiyesi’ featuring  gospel music act, Kenny K’ore was released in February 2015.
