In a recent interview with Saturday Beatz, Nollywood actress, Empress Njamah revealed that the money she earns from Nollywood is not enough to take care of the children in her foundation.

According to the actress, she had to leave Lagos for Abuja to face her clothing business.

In her words: “I relocated from Lagos to Abuja because of my business. My clothing line was suited for women of the north and that is why I relocated to Abuja.

I make long dresses and my target is Abuja women. My move has not affected my career as an actress. Even when I am 80 years old, I can still play various roles. If I relied on Nollywood, I would not be able to feed these children.

My relocation has nothing to do with Nollywood. Even if I was still in Lagos, I would have still faced my business till it could stand on its own. The movie is always there and the roles still keep coming in.”

Speaking about why she is yet to marry, she said:

“If I had the opportunity to see God, I would ask him when I would get married and have kids of my own.”
