3 YORUBA ACTORS WHO ARE SUSSESFUL IN AMERICA
The Nigerian movie industry is quite competitive due to the amount of talented actors in Nollywood. Many actors have left Nigeria for developed countries but after they relocated, their relevance in the movie industry diminished. However, the story is not the same for all of them; as some of them have continued to entertain their fans despite the fact that they are no longer based in Nigeria.
This article is about three actors who are based in the United States of America but are still relevant in the Yoruba movie industry.
1) Tunde Owokoniran:
Owokoniran is a talented actor who rose to stardom under the tutelage of Odunlade Adekola. Meeting Odunlade Adekola had a huge impact on his career; it was Adekola who gave him the chance to explore his talent. Popularly known as Tunde Tilapia, Owokoniran became popular through some Yoruba movies like Penkele mess, Sunday Dagboru and Ilu Alujo among others.
In 2016, Tunde got married to his wife, Tunmise Akinwansola at the Naim Islamic Centre in the United States of America. Getting married to his US based wife was one of the major reasons why Tunde had to leave Nigeria for America. After he left Nigeria, many people thought his acting career would die down; but the dark-skinned actor still features in Yoruba movies produced in the US. Asides from movies, he makes short skits for his fans on Instagram. These movies and skits have made him stay relevant in the movie industry despite his new location.
Tunde is still happily married to his wife, Tunmise and they are blessed with children. From his pictures, it is evident that Tunde Owokoniran is having a good time in America.

Like Tunde Owokoniran, relocating didn’t stop her featuring in Yoruba movies produced in the US. Asides from this, she entertains her fans through her Instagram posts and funny short videos on Instagram.
