Rita Dominic, a veteran Nollywood actress, has taken a walk down memory lane as she opened up about her early days in the Nigerian film industry alongside fellow screen star Genevieve Nnaji.

Rita took to Instagram to share a snapshot of herself and the actress on her 50th birthday a month ago, mentioning that when they first started their careers in Nollywood, they were just “passionate girls” with a dream.

She stated that they had no clue about the wonderful journey that lay ahead or how the industry would grow to affect the entire world.

Rita said that looking around and realising how far they'd come made her proud, and that they didn’t walk alone.

She wrote: “When we started in Nollywood all those years ago, we were just passionate girls with a dream. We had no idea the incredible journey ahead or how our industry would grow to touch the entire world. To look around today and see how far we’ve come… It fills my heart with pride. No matter what, we did not walk alone.”
