She also obtained a certificate of achievement in organisational behavior from Edinburgh Business School in 2016.[5][6]

Acting career

Chico Ejiro, through Rita Dominic, introduced Danjuma to the Nigerian film industry in the 2004 film Deadly Care. She starred in other successful films, including Deadly Kiss (2004), Missing Angel (2004), The Captor (2006), Foreign Affairs, Real Love, The Twist, A Second Time and The Beast and the Angel. Her latest film is Stalker, co-starring Jim Iyke and Nse Ikpe Etim. In August 2017, she was honoured for her advocacy programs centered around building capacities for Nigerian youths by a Pan-African organization.[7]

Personal life

Danjuma was less frequent in Nollywood after her marriage to Musa Danjuma, the younger brother of Theophilus Danjuma in 2007.[8][9] The couple has two sons and a daughter;[10] they separated in 2016.[11]

Age Controversy

Although many local publications cite her birth year to between 1980 and 1981,[12][1] Danjuma has repeatedly stated that she was born on 26 June 1987.[13][14][15]

gollark: Now I need to have an excuse for having an abyss.
gollark: `MOVABS - Move To The Abyss` seems like a useful instruction.
gollark: I should also take inspiration from the x86 instructions twitter account.
