Bukky Wright Returns to Nigeria and Nollywood with Plans for Marriage and Fresh Start
Popular Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has officially announced her return to Nigeria and the Nigerian movie industry. In a heartfelt interview with BBC Yoruba, the veteran actress revealed her plans to resume her acting career and even get married again.
Bukky Wright explained that she had moved abroad years ago for the sake of her children. Now that they are all grown and independent, they encouraged her to return to Nigeria and focus on her own dreams.
“My children are settled now and told me to go live my life again,” she said. “That’s why I’ve come back home.”
During her time abroad, Bukky didn’t just take a break from acting. She used the opportunity to go back to school, studying IT Auditing and Cybersecurity—a field she once thought she could never enter. She spoke proudly about how learning new skills changed her mindset and helped her grow personally.
She also gave valuable advice to others planning to relocate abroad, saying it’s important not to limit yourself to small jobs but to dream big and focus on personal development.
In the same interview, Bukky opened up about her hopes to find love again. She shared that during her recent pilgrimage to Mecca, she prayed about her desire to remarry. Her fans were thrilled to hear this and excited about the possibility of her settling down with someone special again.
Bukky Wright also touched on a trending topic in the entertainment industry—actresses revealing too much of their bodies. She said she had spoken to several male colleagues, asking if men truly liked that trend. According to her, most men said they prefer women who dress modestly, as it creates curiosity and elegance.
She made it clear that while fashion choices are personal, modesty still holds great value in today’s society.
The actress recently sparked dating rumors when she was spotted wearing matching clothes with fashion designer Seyi Modi. However, she didn’t comment directly on that during the interview.
Fans of the actress flooded the comment section of the interview with praise and excitement:
- One fan wrote, “Ever beautiful mama, evergreen screen diva.”
- Another said, “Bukky Wright is one of our most favorite Nollywood stars. She’s forever classy.”
- Someone added, “I’m so inspired by your story. Starting afresh abroad and now returning stronger.”
Many fans also mentioned her famous role as Omotara Johnson, saying they can’t wait to see her back on screen in that character.
Earlier this year, Bukky Wright was also seen in the U.S. alongside fellow Nigerian stars Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) and Teju Babyface at an event in Houston. The pictures sparked nostalgic feelings among fans who miss the golden days of classic Nollywood.
As Bukky Wright steps into this exciting new chapter—filled with love, learning, and legacy—her fans are cheering her on and eagerly waiting for her big return to the screen.
