INTRODUCTION

Adesua is a Nollywood actress who came into limelight
in 2014 after taking up a lead role in "Knocking On
Heaven's Door". She has later shown in many movies
after that.

EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND
Adesua Etomi is a performing artiste and actress. She
studied Physical Theatre, Musical Theatre and
Performing Arts, in City College, Coventry, United
Kingdom, She is a graduate of Drama and
Performance at the University of Wolverhampton. She
hails from Edo State, Nigeria.
Adesua is clearly someone whose love for the arts runs
deep. Her first encounter with acting was at the age
of 7, when she joined the drama club at her primary
school, Corona, Victoria Island, Lagos. Her talent was
untapped, unexplored and dormant until 2004 when
she fought her fears and proceeded to study it in
college where she graduated with triple distinctions
and at the University where she graduated with 1st
class honours and 'The Foursight Theatre Award' This
award was presented to her by the university for best
performance in a devised piece of theatre in the
whole drama department and got featured in
newspaper as one of the students who the city and
university were proud of.

CAREER AND LIFE
She returned to Nigeria in 2012, but she wasn’t
planning to move back to Lagos when she did. She quit
her job over there because she grew discontent and
restless. The idea was to visit for three months but
now it is clearly more than that. She stayed because
Nollywood welcomed her and her love for acting
refused to take a back seat anymore.
She came back and started performeing in several
stage plays like : Secret Lives Of Baba Segi's Wives,
Saro, Shattered, The Grimm Tales, Anatomy Of A
Woman, Crystal Slipper, The Crucible, Fractal, Not my
cup of Tea, The Millers Tale (August 2012, Edinburgh
Fringe Festival), Jesus Christ Superstar (Musical), Miss
Saigon (Musical), Les Miserables (Musical), to mention
but a few...She made her first film debut in 2013 with
Royal Arts Academy Production.

SPEAKING ON HOW SHE FIRST GOT IN THE SHOW:
"I actually got invited for a close audition. I was very
naive because I saw so many people I knew. You know,
when you are new in the industry; you come across
really good actors when you go for auditions. You will
keep asking yourself questions, like ‘Jesus, how am I
going to get this?’ Then, I will pray to God and say,
‘daddy, please help me out’. When I wake up in the
morning, I put some anointing oil on my head and say
‘Lord, help your sister out’. I don’t play with God at
all because I believe He is the one that grants favour.
So, I just prepared myself, went in there, did the
best that I could, went back home and waited for
that call that would change things. A couple of days
later, they told me I got it all and that was it."
She came into spotlight with her first movie role in
Nollywood "Knocking Heavens Door" In 2014
In an interview she said:
Knocking on Heaven’s Door was my first film project
and I also landed the lead role. It literarily
introduced me to Nollywood, so I’m very grateful to
everyone who had a hand in making that happen,
especially Emem Isong, Desmond Elliot and the Royal
Arts Academy team. There have been several other
projects following that, including Lowladee’s Brave
and, more recently, Gidi Up. Before my foray into
film, I’d had a very good run on stage with plays like
London Life, Lagos Living, Band Aid and Saro. All of
these projects added a bit of light to the limelight,
but, yes, Knocking On Heaven’s Door did bring an
extra oomph.

After that she wasn’t so keen about been a superstar
and so she did a few things but they were mostly
theater. But in 2015 she said to herself, ‘if you want
to be a performer, you have to learn to be an all-
rounded performer’. Hence the reason she is doing
more TV and film productions. In 2015 year alone,
She's been involved in three films. She has another TV
series she is leading a role at called, ‘Lasgidi Cops’.
She has been trying to get more screen time in 2015
than she's done in the previous years.
Aside being an AWESOME actor she can also sing,
dance, ice skate, play the guitar and does physical
theatre. She can speak in British, Coventry, Nigerian,
Patois and Broken Nigerian English, Accents.
Adesua Etomi believes God crown her efforts with good
success and his favour grace and mercy helps her
stand out. This amazingly talented young lady is a
very deep actor that always wows her audience with
her performances.

She is very hard-woking, down-to-earth, free
spirited and charming. Her personal Mantra is 'I love
my life...i don't have to wish for another, i get to live
many' Her dream is to do Broadway and conquer the
world of performance, with many performances
already under her belt and her watchwords being
'HardWork and Truth' she is no doubt one to watch
out for as her talent is fast making way for her.
Speaking on her personal life in an interview:
Are you in a relationship?
There are some things that are really personal to me
and I prefer not to talk about them. So, I would not
address that.

How do you handle your male friends?
It is sometimes funny because many people tend to
say that most female actresses have negative reviews
when it comes to attention. However, people are quite
respectful of me. I never feel overwhelmed by male
attention because men will always be like ‘Adesua, I
love you’. It is not always like that, you get people
that admire you, you can just wave and say hello.
People can walk up to me and say ‘you are awesome’
and I will say ‘thank you’. It’s not anything special. I
have not had any wild experiences. Maybe if I am on
Instagram and someone writes rubbish, I will just
delete it. Things like that don’t really bother me.
What about men who want more than just being
friends with you, how do you handle them?
You know what, men don’t really toast me. I don’t
know why, really; maybe it is the way I carry myself.
They don’t, really. Sometimes, when they want to talk
to me, they will assume I am already seeing someone.
Celebrated her birthday in 2015 which lead to a lot of
Nollywood actors turn up; mostly males.
