The actress nabbed significant roles in three of 2016 most critically acclaimed movies - "The Arbitration," "93 Days" and "The Wedding Party."

These three movies were selected to screen at the Toronto International Film Festival as part of the festival’s city to city spotlight.

In 2016, the festival inducted its TIFF International Rising Stars and two actors were chosen - Somkele Idhalama and OC Ukeje.

Her role in "93 Days" earned her an AMVCA best-supporting actress nomination.

In 2017, the actress features in two movies set for cinema release in February and March - "The Guest" and "Ojukokoro."
