Today's Nigerian celebrity news.Celebrities Who Quit Being Famous, loosely ranked by fame and popularity. It seems like everyone wants to be famous these days, but believe it or not, some very popular actors and actress have decided to step out of the spotlight. Some famous people quit because they don't want to deal with the pressure of being a celebrity, while others quit so that they can raise a family.
I present to you Ten Top Celebs who at the height of their career decide to leave.After the cut...
1)Pat Attah
 |
My all time crush. Pat burst onto the movie scene in the early 90s , playing the lead character in the popular soap, “Mega Fortunes’, where he acted as Ken. He was the star of
“Glamour Girls”, the first ever Nollywood English movie released in 1994.
Since then, he has featured and starred in over 40 movies including “Secret Fantasy”, “Final Spirit of Love”, “Fools in Love”, “More than Gold”, “Only Love” and “Songs of Sorrow” before disappearing with the wind. Recently, Pat was a victim of fraud on facebook as the fraudsters used his name to open a fake Orphanage, St. Patrick Orphanage with the intention defrauding unsuspecting donors. The issue here is that the lover boyactor has found a second profession and abandoned acting.

Charles made a name in Nollywood after he starred in movies like “Ritual”, “Never Die for Love”, “Lost Kingdom”, “Conspiracy”, Ënd of the Wicked”and other television soaps by Zeb Ejiro. But suddenly, this Umuleri, Anambra State born actor disappeared from the screen.
Like Gloria Anozie-Young, Charles’ disappearance from the screen, has been blamed on the producers who consistently refused to give him roles as he decided to take his destiny into his hands.
3) Susan Patrick
 |
Who can forget Susan Patrick’s signature performance as Sakobi the snake girl? While the film did not have the most original of titles- or plots, Susan’s gap toothed beauty managed to sell it to an adoring public.
Where is she now? No one know. Last I heard of her she was married to a police man.
4) Ego Boyo
 |
More than a decade ago, Ego Boyo used to be one of the leading actresses in Nollywood . She had acted in so many soaps and a few home videos. The role she played in the now rested soap “Checkmate”and later Amaka Igwe’s “Violated” is still fresh in the minds of those that watched these productions in the 90s.
But after a while, this charming actress quietly disappeared from the scene, especially after she got married to her man, Onamofe Boyo, the Big Boy who plays in the oil sector.

The Glamour Girl starlet, years back Gloria young thrill our TV screen with her alluring beauty. After she married actor Nobert Young she jus disappeared.
 |
Victoria was one of the most promising starlets of her time, till she decided to give it all away for a domestic life, far off in the states. While we wish her conjugal bliss, we hope to see her pretty face on our screens once more.
 |
Remember her? Always playing the wicked step mother, she played her role so well, that we hated her, she was that good. Like the rest of the actresses above, she just disappeared into thin air.
8) Dolly Unachukwu
 |
Love her in Full Moon. The fair skinned plus sized beauty sizzled in films like ‘Bitter Encounter’ and ‘Deadly affair’ and promptly fizzled out. The next we heard, she was getting married and leaving the country.
9)ALEXX LOPEZ
 |
Alexx who featured in several movies in the 1990s has been missing from movies for over a decade now.
 |
She quit acting and relocated to London. Happily married with kids!
