Career
Chizzy Alichi is a lady who has been in love with acting right from her secondary school. According to her, then, she always used her money to rent movies not minding if it is her last money. While in school on her way to a particular place in 2010, she stumbled upon a banner of the Actors Guild of Nigeria which is at the office of the National Museum in Enugu. After making necessary enquiries about the advertisement written on the banner, she registered for the audition and came out successfully.
This was how she started acting. Her first movie was “Magic Money” which featured Mercy Johnson and Bob Manuel Udokwu but that was not what announced her. She finally got famous after acting “Akaraoku” meaning “hot akara, a movie produced by actor Yul Edochie in 2016, this was were she got popular as many Nigerians who never knew it was a movie scene wondered why a young and beautiful girl will be selling akara(bean cake) on the street.
When asked why she chose Agricultural Engineering instead of Theatre Arts, she said,
“People always ask me this and my answer to them always is that you must not study Theatre Arts to be a good actress.”
“Most of the successful actors and actresses didn’t necessarily go to film schools or study Theatre arts, although I’m not saying it’s not useful studying the profession, but if your passion and desire to learn on the job is high, with hardwork you’ll get to the peak of your career in no time and you’ll be excellent at it too. I just finished writing my final papers a few days back. So I’m battle ready to take on the industry fully. That’s not to say I won’t still embark on some of training and education in filmmaking in the near future.”
