Former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has made a return to Nollywood with a newly released movie, Hatred.
This comes nearly five months after her dismissal by President Bola Tinubu on 24 October 2024, alongside four other ministers. She was replaced by Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim.
Announcing the release on her X (formerly Twitter) page on 5 February 2025, Kennedy-Ohanenye shared a link to the 40-minute film, which features Sorochi Onyekwere, Onyi Maduegbunam, Ifunanya Nwobi, and Kachi Obimma.
The former minister, a lawyer and member of the Nigerian Bar Association, has a long history in the film industry, with previous productions such as Mama Onboard, The Senator, The Governor, and The President.
She has also appeared in films like Saving My Marriage and Royal Ploy, working alongside industry veterans such as Segun Arinze and Ngozi Ezeonu.
Beyond entertainment, Kennedy-Ohanenye is active in real estate, education, and law. She runs Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye & Co., a legal firm, and is the founder of Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye Academy.
In 2023, she contested the APC presidential primaries but stepped down for President Tinubu.
