            Meet 13 Nollywood Stars Who Switched to Politics

Many Nollywood actors and actresses have either switched to music industry, but failed in that venture, or have gone into politics, and it doesn't seem like they are coming back fully into the industry.
Some of these veteran actors have surely been doing well in their new found love. See the list of the many stars of yesteryears, who have migrated to politics:

                        

1. Richard Mofe Damijo is the present Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta State, Nigeria.      He is making it big and seems to have almost totally 'dumped' Nollywood.
