Award-winning actress Linda Ejiofor has opened up on how she once feared her career had stalled before achieving a breakthrough that led to two awards at the 2026 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
Speaking in an interview with Nollywire conducted by her husband, actor Ibrahim Suleiman, Ejiofor stated that three years earlier, she believed her progress in the industry had halted and sought direction through prayer.
According to Ejiofor, she later received two film roles that changed the course of her career.
“Three years ago, I thought my career was stagnant and not going anywhere, and I asked God for something, anything. And He gave me two beautiful stories,” she said.
Ejiofor credited her husband with supporting her during that period, noting that he encouraged her even when she doubted her own performances.
“I am so grateful to God, grateful to my husband because he stood by me through this. He told me that I did well in both movies. To be honest, I didn’t believe him,” she added.
Her turnaround was confirmed at the 2026 AMVCA, where she won Best Lead Actress for The Serpent’s Gift and Best Supporting Actress for The Herd on the same night.
