Stella Damasus

Stella is a household name in Nigeria thanks to her roles in best-selling home videos. She made her acting debut in 1992 in the movie "Abused", but the movie "Breaking Point" shot her into limelight.

Damasus started her career as a singer in Lagos where she used to work as a studio session singer at Klink Studios, owned by filmmaker Kingsley Ogoro.

Quick fact: Her family name was changed from Ojukwu to Damasus during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war, because they were mistaken as relatives to the late Biafran warlord, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
