A-list actress and
mother of one, Stephanie Okereke-Linus may just have another ace up her sleeve
as she was seen recently meeting with European Union Ambassador to Nigeria,
Ketil Karlsen and his delegation to discuss issues of mutual interest. It is
not clear at press time what’s in the offing but going by the Member of the
Order of the Federal Republic national honouree, her passion is gender based
violence and this, may just be another work in the pipeline to take her passion
unto the international stage.
The actress and film-maker got a lot of international
attention with her 2014 film “Dry” that focused on the perils of child marriage
in Northern Nigeria. She has since taken up the torch as a campaigner against
gender based violence. In 2011 Stephanie Okereke as she was known then was
honoured by the Nigerian government with the national honour of Member of the
Order of the Federal Republic, one of the highest honours given to a Nigerian
celebrity.
