It was a memorable and exciting time-out recently for Nollywood actress, Rita Dominic in Kenya when she was hosted as a Special Guest of the Nigerian Embassy in Nairobi. The actress was in the country to participate in several activities to mark Nigeria at 50 celebrations.
Rita received a warm welcome from Kenyans and Nigerians living in Kenya and she granted several high profile television and newspaper interviews as she talked about the Nigeria at 50 celebrations and her career as an actress.
She attended a special Gala night held on 30th of September which was sponsored by the corporate community including UBA and Ecobank. On October 1, she was the Guest of Honour at a reception held by the Nigerian High Commissioner of Kenya, Dr. C. W. Wigwe and his wife in honour of Nigeria at 50.
On behalf of the embassy, she also presented awards to deserving Nigerians living in Kenya who have excelled in their various endeavors and projected the country in a positive light.
Rita is also seeking to collaborate with Kenya filmmakers to produce films. "Nairobi is beautiful, and I can all ready see certain locations which will look very good on film and the people have been so friendly to me," Rita stated.
Her production outfit, Audrey Silva Company will begin to shooting its first of two movies in November. The movie is a romantic comedy written by Tunde Babalola and auditions are already ongoing for prospective actors.
"I am playing a sub-lead in this movie so I can concentrate on the production side of things". For me, this is serious business and we hope to build a motion picture company that projects quality Africa stories to the world.” She said.
Rita Dominic jetted back to the country on October 4, after her visit to the Eastern African country.
