11 Things You Didn't Know About Adesua Etomi

These ones will surprise you.

Nollywood actress Adesua Etomi crashed into the Nigerian movie industry with her first feature film, Knocking on Heaven’s Door in 2014. From there, it has been a steady meteoric rise for the talented actress. She’s gone on to act in some of Nigeria’s biggest blockbuster movies including Sugar Rush, The Wedding Party, Muna, and The Set Up. On Instagram alone, she amassed over 3.8 Million followers, and her star is further brightened by her adored marriage to Nigerian singer, Banky W.

So today, as private as she is, I’m deciding to tell you 11 things you might know about her, and hopefully by the end of this list, you’ll get to know her just a little bit better.

I know too much about topics I will probably never need in my life. Like, did you that the full chemical name for titin (a protein found in humans) is 189,819 letters long?
