“People know me as Osuofia. They láugh when they see me in movies, but many don’t know the other side of me.

Growing up, I saw how póor children sûffered just to go to school. Some had no shoes, no books, and no food. I told myself, “One day, if God blesses me, I will do something.”

Now, after all these years in Nollywood, I finally did it. I built a free school in Enugu — no school fees, no uniforms, nothing! Just come and learn.

I named it "Osuofia Foundation Academy" because I want to give back to the same society that gave me fame.

For me, true success is not in how many cars you drive, but in how many lives you touch.
