  Veteran Nollywood actor, Benedict Johnson has shared insights into a challenging phase of his career, revealing that he spent five years without landing any acting roles. He made this known during a church service at Streams of Joy International in Abuja, led by Pastor Jerry Eze. A video of his testimony has since spread widely on social media.

Some colleagues reportedly advised him against the move, pointing out that Abuj...
