Nollywood Is Full Of Mediocres—Hilda Dokubo

One of Nollywood's veteran actresses, Hilda Dokubo, was recently caught on the spot and she revealed that she is still into acting and has not quit.

“I didn't stop acting. At least, this year alone, I've done six movies. What I did was to slow down. I took a break to go to school, then I got back and a few things had gone not so right. So, I took another break to go and give back to society and ended up serving in my state government. Then, I got back again and realized that mediocrity had taken centre stage; it had become clamour for money and being used for all the wrong things. I'm not someone cut out for that. Again, I took a break and began to build an institution for training people and then that institution started running and I began to build a team,” she disclosed.

Hilda explained that she had to time out to further her studies to enable her focus and also to give back to the society by creating a foundation known as 'Centre for Creative Arts Education.'

She explained that the foundation started off as an advocacy group, then it became a training group and then it became a support group for young people and women and today it is a three in one centre.

The actress stated that, “In Rivers, and indeed we work across the Niger Delta States, working with young people and women. At some point, we included advocacy. Really, it wasn't at some point; it started off as an advocacy group, then it became a training group and then it became a support group for young people and women and today it does the three – it does advocacy, it does research, it does training and it does empowerment across the Niger Delta.”
