Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay Idibia is reflecting on her early career days.
On her Instagram page, the mother of two recalled how she usually took the long route, driving to school, to check her recent movie posters to see if any of her new movies were out, and her face was on ...er. She revealed that her dream wasn’t just to get the roles but to pray that the marketers would see her face as sellable enough to make the front poster.
Now, grace has found her, and she has become a popular demand for marketers. Annie noted that she is the one now choosing the film to star in.
“Plus! Damn…
I remember how I usually took the long route, driving to school (UNILAG), so that I could check all the recent movie posters through Surulere to see if any of my new movies were out and if they put my face on ...ers!
The dream then wasn’t just to get the roles but to pray that the marketers would see your face as sellable enough to make the front poster!
And grace found me!

Last year, the former Mrs Idibia shared throwback photos as she expressed how blessed she was to be embarking on a brand new journey. Annie stated that her story is about a little girl with a very big dream from beneath the grass to Grace Unlimited. The mother of two declared that this new journey was mostly going to be about self-love, loving herself more, and taking care of herself and herself first.
Also, last year, the famous actress expressed excitement after being named one of the 100 Most Influential Women in Africa for her immense talent and charisma and her social impact work, passion for women’s empowerment, and success in both fashion and business. Annie who was in disbelief, described the recognition as a loud one as she noted how she is a child of Grace.
When Annie graced the cover of Glamour Magazine three years back, she recounted her past life, revealing that she once slept in one bedroom with her three brothers, though one is late now. Annie disclosed that she grew up helping her mother in her cooking business and was known as a cook’s daughter.
In 2023, amidst her marital troubles, Annie bragged about how she could stop working for 2 years and still be living a luxurious life. The mum, while counting her blessings, revealed that her emails had been mind-blowing as brands wanted to partner with her. The actress noted how she was living her best life and had been enjoying several favors and grace.
