Following a brief hiatus from the filmmaking industry, veteran Nollywood actor Chidi Mokeme is again back to remind fans that he is not only a seasoned actor but one of the few who have perfected their craft over the years. As you must have guessed, this is coming after the 50-year-old actor stole the spotlight in the 2023 Netflix drama series Shanty Town where he played the role of a ruthless kingpin known as Aboderin or Scar. Chidi Mokeme has surprisingly got everyone paying attention to this series with his mind-blowing acting performances. Right now, Scar is all everyone talking about on social media! When it comes to playing bad boys roles, Nollywood fans have always counted on Chidi Mokeme to deliver.
Sadly, the actor went off the movie scene in 2016, only to return in 2023 in Shanty Town. While the oscar-worthy performances the tv show host delivered in the Nollywood blockbuster overcompensated for his absence, fans continue to express how much they missed seeing him in action. But this didn’t stop fans from asking why their favourite Nollywood bad boy disappeared. Well, on January 22, 2023, during an interview on Channels TV Runnin Minds, Chidi Mokeme finally opened up about battling a neurological disorder known as Bell’s Palsy. The former host of Gulder Ultimate Search detailed how the disease stalled his career and how he is not letting it get in the way again. #ShantyTown #ChidiMokeme #Nollywood #ChidiMokemeMovies
