Ini Dima-Okojie speaks about her character in new movie project “Kill Boro”
In a recent interview, the Nollywood actress has revealed that she only enjoys playing characters that give her freedom to express herself.
“You can be deep and emotional but also be fun and light. The whole point of why I do this is I get to experience different kinds of lives, experiences and get to test myself as an actor,” she said.
In a variety of movies and television shows, including The Royal Hibiscus Hotel, Sylvia, Smart Money Woman, Namaste Wahala, A Weekend to Forget, Flawsome and Blood Sisters. Dima-Okojie has played a variety of roles.
Her next role is as the battered housewife Boma in Kill Boro, which is co-produced by Dọtun Olakunri, Steve Gukas and Ikechukwu Omenaihe.
The actress said that Gukas was a big part of what drew her to the project, but she also mentioned that she could see the movie’s potential right away.

“Boma, my character, has so much pain. She’s stuck between a rock and a hard place and struggled for everything she’s had so far. She has to be a glue and it comes with a sacrifice. The character gave me a lot of range as an actor and she’s just such a gripping character,” she added.
