Nollywood Actress  and the host of DIVAS DYNASTY, a female empowerment talk show ,marked her birthday on the 27th of Apri 2011l. Adaora Ukoh  remarkably and selflessly, spent her special day bringing smiles to the faces of handicapped and less privileged children. She visited the home with fellow Nollywood Actress Queen Nwokoye, close friends and family. They presented their hosts with food, clothing , shoes ,  toiletries, baby essentials and cash.

Adaora expressed how much joy she derived from spending time with the children. “ I was overwhelmed with emotion as these beautiful children sang Happy Birthday in my honour.  Seeing their happy faces brought me close to tears, an experience I would rate as priceless. There couldn’t be a better way to spend one’s Birthday and I would certainly recommend that we all try it at some point in our lives ”.
She urged all celebrities, great and small to make time to befriend the less privileged. Adaora promised to visit again on Children’s Day.

It is the norm to expect gifts and presents on one's birthday but quite unusual to be  giving them out. We applaud Adaora for leading by examples and inspiring us all to do likewise.

Nollywood Uncut as we usually do, is giving you backstage access to the set of Adaora Ukohs New film titled NAKED AMBITIONS.
The film was written by Nollywood's Big , Bold and Beautiful  actress Adaora Ukoh and stars Sam Dede, Tonto Dikeh and Adaora Ukoh as the leading roles. It was shot in Asaba, Delta State and is about a rich, desperate but greedy woman(Adaora Ukoh) who loves to eat her cake and have it. Word has it that Adaora is also working on two other scripts to be shot in Nigeria, South Africa and in the US.

 We are all looking forward to see the transition from actress to movie maker. Adaora, we wish you all the best, keep it up.
Enjoy the photos taken on location.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ADAORA UKOH



Written by Dele Onabowu   
Friday, 27 August 2010 17:00
I had the opportunity to spend a day with Adaora Ukoh ,‘the big, bold and beautiful face of Nollywood. I still find it hard to believe that she entered the industry at the tender age of fifteen, a very atypical move for a child growing up in Nigeria. At the age of fifteen, most of us lived shielded lives in the confines of our parents’ walls. I would have deemed it preposterous and quite outlandish, had anyone dared to suggest that I earned my living at the age of 15. She has been around for so long that it is hard to believe that she is still only 28. I first met her at the Auditions of Miss Elegant World 2010 in London where she was one of the judges. We got talking and i was certainly delighted when she agreed to do an interview at home.

I thought it would be a great opportunity to see what the actress was really like behind all the glitz, glamour and flashing lights.
I set out to to catch her off guard by showing up 3 hours earlier than planned. She greeted me with a smiling face and by jove, she still looked great without makeup and a bath.lol. She even won my respect by allowing me to take photos of her without any makeup on. 
Also at home were her beautiful mother who was holidaying, her younger sister and her 3 month old niece.
Contrary to what I expected, I found Adaora really down to earth, somewhat shy and very approachable. She was such a great host that i quickly became confortable and settled in.

We spent a great deal of time talking about her acting career, ongoing and future projects while at the back of my mind, I plotted on how to get a full exposé about her often shrouded and controversial love life.
I, among many have heard untold stories and vicious rumours regarding her love life, affairs she was having and who she was doing what with. I took it upon myself to unravel the mystery surrounding her love life.  Sorry Guys! Adaora revealed that she was in a relationship and seeing some dude in the States. From the sound of it, they might be pretty serious.
 As we chatted, it came to my attention that I had watched almost all her movies without even realising that she was in them. I was talking to the lady with a thousand faces. She has the predilection of looking completely different in every movie, a good quality for an actress to possess as it depicts her versatility. The disadvantage of having such a chameleonic nature is the propensity to become almost unrecognisable to fans. We joked about this and how she needed to stick to one memorable look for the benefit of her fans. Watch out for the new Adaora coming to a screen near you.

Besides being in london to spend some time with her sister and her new born baby, she is also here to work on a number of projects. She has a few guest appearances and shows line up.
She is a member of a UN sub charity group called THE RHEMA WOMEN EMPOWERMENT GROUP targeted towards empowering women in diaspora that are facing hardship or are out of work. In Nigeria, she is involved with PROJECT ALERT, a charity dedicated to fighting against all forms of violence against women in Nigeria.
