According to the amputee actress, despite her physical disability, she can do everything else like an able-bodied adult.

Speaking about her Nollywood experience, she stated that, like other actresses, she has experienced movie producers and directors who want to sleep with her.

Aside from movies, Doris Akonanya claims to get extra money on the side by taking photos and videos of herself in scant outfits for some ‘white guys’ she refers to as ‘Devotees’.

These Devotees, she claims, have a passion for amputees, therefore she sells images to them.

The actress also discussed Asaba movie actors dubbed ‘Asabahood’ against Lagos actors. She added that those in Asaba make more relatable films, which makes them more popular among viewers, as opposed to other performers who ‘copy the whites’.
