Multi-talented Uche Jombo makes production debut with star-studded ‘Nollywood Hustler’
Posted on Friday, September 11th, 2009 at 7:25 PMBy BellaNaija.com
She’s known as an actress but Uche Jombo has many titles to her name – she is a mathematician/statistician, actress, screenwriter and now you can add producer to that list! Uche is making her production debut with the movie – Nollywood Hustler which she also stars in. The movie is co-produced by ‘Games Men Play’ producer Emem Isong and directed by Moses Inwang.
Nollywood Hustler takes a comedic look at Nollywood; the real stars and the wannabes. This star-studded movie stars Ramsey Nouah, Monalisa Chinda and Lancelot Imasuen acting as fictionalized versions of themselves. Charles Inojie stars as the wannabe producer and Uche Jombo as the wannabe actress. With the supporting cast including talented actors Ejike Asiegbu, Susan Peters and Bishop Ime.
Below are photos from the set of the movie including a scene from the movie which recreates a red carpet event tagged ‘Celebrities Give Back’ with real celebrities walking down the carpet as themselves and talking about their projects and the act of giving back. These celebs included Genevieve Nnaji, Ini Edo-Ehiagwina, Ngozi Ezeonu, Kalu Ikeagwu, Muma Gee, Zik Zulu Okafor, Vivian Ejike, musical duo Bracket, Kevin Luciano of Questionmark Entertainment, rapper Sasha and Julie of WOW magazine.

maybe she repeated (nth wrong with that though).
I love Kalu Ikeagwu, met him during my internship…hot!
Love Sasha’s dress (she used to have a clothing line for years abi?)
Muma gee has been dressing ‘better’ lately, she used to be too avant garde back in the day.
LOL…y do i have a feeling that this will be a “Jenifa goes to Nollywood”??
Cant wait to see it sha!
Nice. love Genny’s dress, simple yet classy.
Can’t wait to watch the movie.
I love KALU! I love love love him.. Gosh!…
Im still holding on to my opinion that Uche is a BAD actress..well, majority of them are but her own is just too much.. Especially her facially expression…Gosh..
you sound like a fustrated actress,uche acts better than you am so sure of that,get a life ok
…and ofcourse they had to show the white cameraman…hiss..Nigerians sha…lol
I love me some Uche Jombo! She is very articulate, talented and good natured. Uche Iwuji is losing some weight, good for her. Ini Edo always looking like a drag queen, Love Genevieve’s dress, Ramsey always drop dead gorgeous, Ngozi Ezeonu the true lcon. Love them all.
pls what is rukky sanda wearing??? if going for a strapless number, why wear a bra? Hello! there’s an invention called the strapless bra! urghhh!
gbekun, uche wu nwannem o. Biko, nwelu nya no ndidi biko. I nu ngo. O try li nno, nwelu nwe her own production. O di ro kwa eazy, ka i sili nwe kwuo. Kedu ka i me.
lol. funny how i recall you stating that on a diff post long time ago.Now I believe you really love Kalu!
Yayy! see my girl Ufuoma, I hope she breaks out big soon.
nawa for the long a** straws on the redcarpet. they want blind someborry?
una don start again. you people shud not let Bella niaja website be labeled as the nigerian website with the highest racists followers. BI KO! Abeg!
Seriously though this bella is turning into E! b4 we say jack-robison she will soon have her own cable channel. Na like this people dey start. Is it just me or does Monalisa and Ramsey look hawt together…let no one pull a brangelina on us-o!
The bracket boys are shinning-o. Yeah money is good! especially the yellow one. I like the concept of this film and I can’t help but think why didn’t I think of that first. Oh well its already gone now…(sighs). I like derele’s style, dunno why but its cool!
Do we do autugraphs in Nigeria…I hope I dont get insulted for this thought. Just wondering aloud cos I remember that I’ never asked for one but rather a pic with d person.
are u a stalker?
GO UCHE!!!!!!!!!
OK no offence but i hope the whole sasha paparazzi was just for the movie? because i don’t think she’s worth the attention! and can someone pls buy a strapless bra for rukky sanda.. wel i love uche jombo and i cant wait to see d movie..
p.s- the pic of the white camera man was completely unnecessary!
@mytwocent,if uche and majority of nollywood acts are bad actors,why waste your time to comment at all here? except you are one of those failed acts
i dont know y people are dissing abt the cameraman, is a movie shoot not supposed to hv a cameraman? so what if he’s white? this is movie set pictures, uche jombo congrats on this new movie but i feel you put the picture cos of the GLO guy with him. i feel you oooo
I can’t even remember but yes, I like! He’s like the only Nollywood male I totally like!!!!
uche jombo,it’s been long time coming.congrats,cant wait to see it.
I think I have a crush on himmm lol, apparently the dress is one of her designs,,,and lol @ ” avante garde back in the day” big up Uche cant wait!
going by what i see,this one is a winner.
why r u here? did u see her name at d top of this post?
your personal believe i guess and your are wellcome to it.personally i know acting has a lot to do with facial expression.well thats me,then again uche jombo cant do wrong in my book,she’s my girl for life.
this ini edo girl is just becoming more irritating by the day.cant believe some people think she’s fine.and can someone beg genevieve to slow down on the slimming down thing or whatever it is she’s doing thats making her thin.she’s beginning to look 30yrs older than her real age
OMG! why is sasha looking like a scared chicken in that picture…?
i agree wit you my sister genny need’s to stop this her slimming stuff b4 she turn’s into an anorexic patient!
Kai, these people look ooold. Old age is a bitch
Oh pls get over yourselves women!
Genevieve looks fab in her frame and does not look a day over 27. She is a movie star and that’s what movie stars should look like. TV puts at least 10pounds on you so no need to put it on yourself. I’m surprised you would even use the term skinny rather than slim considering her arms are still full.
I guess you’ll have some peace of mind when she fails at something right? Sorry, keeping fit and staying trim isn’t the one. Get used to it.
GO GET A LIFE AND LEAVE INI EDO,GENEVIEVE PLUS ALL THE SUPER STARS IN THIS POST ALONE.
Wow! Genny rocks. my oh my. men this girl has cash, the ish and everything. men she looks Fantabulous( fantastic & fabulous). she keeps surprising us with her st.genevieve designs. go girl & i like her ride also.
People should stop writing disrespectful comments about Nollywood actors and actresses, if you are not going to put positive comments then dont write any comments.
Nollywood actors and actresses are wonderful!!.
you want to work in a white man’s country, yet a white man cnt work in yours……I wonder why people are complaining about the cameraman…
I would like to see you in person as ur full time occupation here is to pass silly, dumb judgement on people. What has Ini Edo done to you..bad belle?..she’s is a star for all you know. Allow her do her thing..she deserves to be cheered and adored. It’s not easy. she earned it. As for your comment about genevieve, not all african women break loose into fat domies, simply because they’re comfortable in life. Genevieve is fully an entertainer and so has to look apealing to the public..It comes with the profession. She looks perfectly ok.she started watching her wieght on time which is excellent. atleast she doesn’t have to spend thousands of dollars to get in back in shape spontaneously if she looses herself; tommy tuck and all of that in future to look apealing in public. That’s what most celebrities do.
U’re 100% correct uchman.
ah so am not d only one dt notices uches bad acting particularly her facial expression.hope this will be nice.she always over exaggerates her role.
more grease to your elbor uche,you are really doing what you know how to do well,you are the no one,well done.
uche is really good,go girl.
the movies is waste of time…………
becos i watch d movies today, is like child play
