Delta State Governor’s daughter turns movie producer

Orode Okpu-Uduaghan, the 24-year-old
daughter of Delta State Governor,
Emmanuel Uduaghan’s has produced a
Nollywood movie which features renowned
Actors, Liz Benson-Ameye and Nobert
Young.
Veteran Actress, Liz Benson who makes a
return to Nollywood after a 14-year
absence says being an evangelist was
pivotal in motivating her to accept the
script, especially because of its theme
which championed and brought to fore the
societal cause of ‘creating awareness about
Breast Cancer.
‘With my status as a pastor, I have to be
critical on the movies or productions I
appear in. As someone that counsels people
in church, I identify with the challenge
women face here as I have had to
encourage women to go for a scan when
they tell me their health challenges. Living
Funeral is a great movie as it xrays the
scourge of breast cancer among women‘,
Liz Benson says.
Orode who makes her debut as a producer,
surprised everyone back in November, 2011
when she got married at the age of 22.
The movie titled ‘Living Funeral‘ is a
project under the auspice of Orode’s Pink
Pearl Breast Cancer Foundation andwas
premiered October 27, 2013.
The Udoka Oyeka-directed movie has since
been nominated in eight categories at the
Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards
(AMVCA) which will hold on Saturday,
March 8, 2014.
