Actress Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha of Nollywood has shared how she trained for her part in the new Netflix series Seven Doors.
Akpotha brings to life a tale of royalty, kinship, family, love, betrayal, and restitution in Seven Doors as an Igbo queen married to a Yoruba king (Femi Adebayo).
She had to speak Yoruba fluently for her job. The actress claimed to have learnt Yoruba specifically for her role in the series in a TVC interview with her co-star Femi Adebayo.
“I had to learn Yoruba for my role in Seven Doors,” she remarked. I had to be extremely picky about the tone because the Yoruba in the film was not the typical one spoken in Lagos State.
It is important to remember that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) crowned Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha as its first Goodwill Ambassador for Nutrition in Nigeria.
