Tell a tale of heavenly guidance and involvement. Actress Adesua Etomi Wellington from Nigeria is being transparent about how she entered the Nigerian entertainment industry and received her first significant acting break. After the actress starred in the Nollywood movie “Knocking on Heaven’s Door,” many people started to hear about Adesua Etomi. Adesua Etomi’s portrayal of an abused woman in the film opposite well-known actors Blossom Chukwujeku and Ini Edo catapulted her into the public eye and marked the beginning of a very successful acting career for her.
Now, during an interview with Hip TV, Adesua Etomi explains how she actually missed the audition for the role in that movie and goes on to explain the supernatural orchestration that got her into the movie. Here is what Adesua Etomi said.
Adesua Etomi narrated the story of what happened when she was asked the question “How challenging was it getting into Nollywood?” Adesua explained:
Everything that’s worth doing and worth doing well will always be challenging. But I think I was really really guided by God in the sense that a lot of the things that have happened in my life seem very orchestrated. But I also tried my best to stay prepared. I started off by being in a film called Knocking on Heaven’s Door that was put on by Royal Arts Academy that’s run by Aunty Emem Isong God bless her. At the time, they had already done the first part of the audition and my friends were talking about it. I was like oh my God, I missed it.

Normally you’d just be like well I missed it, there’ll be others, but I just felt the need to send her a message. I was like “Good evening ma, I heard you had auditions. I missed the first part but I would love to audition for you”. They were doing callbacks and she was like yeah, come through. Later on at the end of the film, she told me that she hadn’t checked her Facebook in a while and she just happened to check it that same day that I sent the message and my message was one of the messages at the top.
So it seems very orchestrated. Obviously I had my fair share of going to auditions, I still do auditions till today. But as I keep saying, it’s a marathon not a sprint. This journey is long term.
Wow! That is such a miracle. The fact that up until that point Emem Isong had not even been checking her Facebook messages and then just the day Adesua sent her own message was the day that Emem decided to check her inbox. Talk about divine help and guidance. What do you think about this story that Adesua said?
