10 Nollywood Actresses Who Have Relocated Out Of Nigeria
Relocation has always been a resounding theme for a lot of Nigerians as many tend to believe that the grass is greener on the other side.
There is almost no country in the world that one wouldn’t find a Nigerian or group of Nigerians who have left their homeland in a bid to better their lives.
Interestingly, even celebrities who are in the public eye and are often assumed to lead a better and more comfortable life here in Nigeria never leave anything to chance when they get the option to pack up and leave.
Perhaps, this explains why a lot of them are occasionally breezing in and out of foreign countries before making the decision to stay back in the country that suits them the most. It is usually anywhere but Nigeria.
Consequently, the Nigerian movie industry does come to mind when it is down to citizens who have pitched their tents in foreign lands. A handful of popular faces in the movie industry can no longer thrill their fans back at home because their careers have taken a different cause abroad.
Some of these superstars have taken up other jobs while others still occasionally make appearances in Nollywood movie productions.

2. Toyin Adewale
The news of the actress’ relocation came as a surprise to many as she was very active in the Yoruba movie industry. However, the movie star who is also the mother of singer, Mayorkun, had to make the move after her husband relocated to the US.

The actress currently lives in Canada with her family and the children of late Nollywood actress, Aisha Lawal. Alao won custody battle and became the guardian of her late friend’s kids.

9. Stella Damasus
Stella and Daniel Ademinokan caused a lot of stir in the social space after they both got married. This was largely because Daniel was formerly married to actress Doris Simeon. Perhaps, the controversies that surrounded their relationship was one of the reasons they both relocated to the US to have a peaceful, life devoid of drama and hatred.
10. Mistura Asunranmu
The actress who is popular for her roles in Yoruba movies also relocated to Texas to join her husband. Mistura as a presenter in Texas, she runs a radio and television programme and also organises events for people in the US.
