In an exclusive interview, Amah told Sunday Scoop, how she fasted and prayed before getting back into the industry.
“Actually, it was a lot of work. It
wasn’t easy. A lot of fasting and praying went into my decision to
return to Nollywood. I had to wait on the Lord, because I had to hear
from Him. It suddenly looked as if the name, Grace Amah, wasn’t ringing a
bell anymore. It was not easy.

“At some point, I was calling producers
and directors. Even the people I knew or used to work with did not seem

The Ebonyi State-born actress got her
big break after she featured in the hit TV series, Superstory’s One Bad
Apple. Speaking on what she thinks makes the old Nollywood different
from the new Nollywood, she said, “I would say there is a whole lot of
difference. There was this professionalism, love, care but the new
Nollywood shows a lot of desperation. There is a struggle to outshine
the other person. It is not a bad development but when it becomes a
selfish thing, then there is a problem. Aside from that, there is a lot
of improvement in terms of scripting, camera quality and storylines.
