Linda Ejiofor Shares Career Struggle Before Historic AMVCA Double Win
The actress shares how she thought her career had stalled before winning Best Lead and Supporting Actress at the AMVCA 2026.
Nollywood actress Linda Ejiofor has revealed that she once felt stuck in her career before experiencing a major breakthrough that culminated in her winning two awards at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
In an interview with Nolywire, hosted by her husband Ibrahim Suleiman, the actress said she had a moment of uncertainty about her acting journey three years ago.
“Three years ago, I thought my career was stagnant and not going anywhere, and I asked God for something, anything. And He gave me two beautiful stories,” she said.
Ejiofor explained that she doubted her own performances at the time, but her husband remained supportive and encouraging.
“I am so grateful to God, grateful to my husband because he stood by me through this. He told me that I did well in both movies. To be honest, I didn’t believe him,” she said.
Her fortunes changed at the 2026 AMVCA, where she won Best Lead Actress for The Serpent’s Gift and Best Supporting Actress for The Herd in one night, marking a major milestone in her career.
The achievement has been described as one of the standout moments of the awards ceremony, solidifying her status as one of Nollywood’s leading performers.
