How did you become an actress and why?
Maryam Abdullahi: I started business and later went into acting. I started acting little by little with some of my friends. In a nutshell, I started following my friends to film locations and was later invited to participate. I was given a role to play and I played it very well, so the director was delighted. That was how I became an actress. I started nursing the ambition right from my childhood. I used to watch films and TV drama when I was in primary school. And I became addicted to it, to the extent that watching films became my first hobby in life. So when I came to Lagos, I met some people who were into film and I joined them. To me, it is a way of educating and entertaining people. So I want to educate people through movies; that is why I have some role models in Nollywood, Kannywood and Hollywood.
