Career

At the age of 18, Etim began performing on stage at the university. Inheritance, a family drama, marked her broadcast debut. She briefly quit the film profession after finishing her degree to pursue other interests before making a comeback in Emem Isong’s “Reloaded,” opposite Ramsey Nouah, Rita Dominic, Ini Edo, and Desmond Elliot.

Nse Etim was interviewed for the Humanities Supernova series in the Visual Collaborative Polaris Catalogue, which was released in December 2019 by people such as William Coupon, Bisila Bokoko, and Ade Adekola.

Tope Oshin’s 2020 film Quam’s Money, the sequel to his 2018 film New Money, featured her. The sequel digs into what occurs when a security guard (Quam) becomes suddenly wealthy.  The new cast was led by Falz, Toni Tones, Jemima Osunde, Blossom Chukwujekwu, and Nse Ikpe-Etim.

Nollywood Journey

Nse Ikpe-Etim discussed her beginnings as an actress. In one of her interviews, she revealed that she had never contemplated being an actress, and it was not the first thing that sprang to mind. “I escaped from home with a backpack,” she explained. It was only my second bus ride, so instead of heading to Satellite Town, where we lived at the time, I took the opposite route, towards Badagry, since I wanted to flee. Then I observed cameras in a few of the communities on the way. So I jumped down, and that’s when I first met Kate Henshaw. That happened in 1996. That was back in 1996. That’s how she met Julius Agwu and Francis Agwu, who were all on that set. The movie was called “Scars of Womanhood.”

She got off the bus and informed them that she was a Theatre Arts student. “Oh, okay, she (Kate Henshaw) needs a friend,” they said. “When I met her (Kate), we formed a bond that will last until tomorrow.” Meanwhile, her mother was on the lookout for her. After about two weeks, she returned home and her mother began washing her: “You are going to disgrace me!” “Ah, I don’t want to marry,” she said. She didn’t tell her about the filming location. She just told her that it appears she will be an actress, and she replied, “Over my dead body.”

Personal Life

Etim is the oldest of six children. In an interview with Toolz, she revealed that she has Caucasian godparents. On February 14, 2013, she married her childhood friend, Clifford Sule. A traditional wedding was held in her hometown of Akwa Ibom State, and then in Lagos State, several months after the civil union. Her husband is a well-known lecturer at Middlesex University. She frequently travels to Nigeria for filming and now lives with her in London.

On Friday, March 20, 2020, she announced that she had just returned from the United Kingdom, which, according to the Federal Ministry of Health, was one of the areas hardest hit by the coronavirus.

Womb Removal

Nse Ikpe-Etim revealed that she had womb removal to save her life after discovering she had adenomyosis. Adenomyosis is a gynecological medical condition in which the endometrium, the uterus’s inner lining, breaches the muscular wall of the uterus (the myometrium).

On Saturday in Lekki, Lagos, the Nollywood star made this revelation while speaking at an event called “Conversation with Nse.” Mrs. Ikpe-Etim informed the audience that she was diagnosed with the disease in 2016. She claimed that she sobbed when the doctor told her that she needed her uterus removed in order to live a normal life. Her doctor told her that she couldn’t have children.
