Below are Nollywood stresses we’ll be looking at:

3. Anjolin, Lizzy
Elizabeth Anjorin, often known as Lizzy Anjorin, is a well-known Nollywood actress. She grew up in a Christian home, as her name implies, but she found consolation in Islam.
She came forward in 2013 to state unequivocally that she was a Muslim, and soon after, she travelled to Mecca for the Hajj. Her condition is unusual because her mother is Muslim, according to her.
