In an interview with Hip TV, renowned actor, and director Nonso Diobi disclosed the reason behind his extended break from the movie industry.

“So basically, I put it this way. I always take time off to acquire more knowledge, to become something else in entertainment, and to also keep giving my followers what they want.

“Basically, that’s why I have been off the scene for long, and I’m coming back with a bang. Right now, I have two movies in the works, and I will be making it known to the public pretty soon.

“At the moment, I can officially tell you that I am a filmmaker also, not just the regular Nonso Diobi movie star that you know. So I’m also into directing now. I’m producing my own movies, and very soon, the fans will really understand why I took some time off. Because entertainment is my life, he said
