Nollywood Ufuoma Ejenobor Gets First Endorsement
By 2002, she had participated in two mini-pageants, won the Miss Ebony beauty pageant and partaken in her first national pageant: Miss Commonwealth, where she won the Miss Congeniality prize. Later the same year, she emerged 1st runner up in the queen Afrik beauty pageant.
2003 saw her in the Queen of all Nations beauty pageant where she was again the 1st runner up.
In 2004 she contested in the Miss Nigeria beauty pageant where she emerged ...yet, 1st runner up. Not long after she was crowned Miss Earth Nigeria and consequently went to represent the country at the Miss Earth 2004
International Beauty Pageant held in the Philippines. With winning a crown and international exposure, Ufuoma was done with pageantry.
In February 2004 (just after her third undergraduate year) Ufuoma decided on a movie career. Starting off with Zeb Ejiro’s The President Must Not Die, she has continued to bag major roles in movies. Barely six months into her acting career, she decided to take a break to contest in the Miss Nigeria beauty pageant and finish up her studies being a final-year undergraduate student. By early 2005, she was ready to return to filming. In May 2005, she played her first lead role in Life and Death, her third movie after The President Must Not Die and Guy on the Line. By December 2005, she took on what she considers one of the most demanding roles to prove her love for the job when she played Chibuzor on the Edge of Paradise TV series produced by Royal Roots network. The widow role required her hair cut and lots of crying.
It has been a success story from then on. Her smooth versatility in different roles for both big and small screen well displayed. From detective to envious cousin; from possessed girl to blind girl; from loyal friend to wild one; from grieving widow to vindictive ex.
In 2008 she took on the role of "Lillian Wright" in the TV series My Mum and I a role that garnered her a nomination for a best actress award at the 2010 Festival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo and one at The Terracotta Nigerian TV and Film Awards. She was nominated as the Actor of the year 2011 at the Future Awards
