Nollywood Icon, Liz Benson Returns To Nollywood Limelight
After taking a break from acting, veteran actress Liz Benson has made a comeback in Nollywood.
She will feature in the upcoming film “A Mother’s Son,” produced by Mercy Johnson and directed by Vincent De Anointed.
Mercy Johnson announced Liz Benson’s return in a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram, where the cast, including Mike Godson, Evia Simon, Ozioma Maurice, and George Inaibeh, welcomed her with enthusiasm.
Liz Benson, taken aback by the warm reception from her colleagues, expressed her gratitude, saying, “All the big people in Nollywood are here. You guys are doing exploits; God bless you.
“It’s nice to see all of you in real life. I am meeting all of you for the first time. But I have come to see my daughter (Mercy Johnson).”
Born in Etinan, Akwa Ibom, southern Nigeria, Liz Benson, aged 58, began her acting journey at the tender age of five.
However, it was her portrayal of Agnes Johnson in the television soap opera “Fortunes” on NTA in 1993 that propelled her to fame.
Throughout the 1990s, Benson cemented her stardom with appearances in classic movies, earning her a place as a household name in the burgeoning Nollywood industry.
Liz Benson’s illustrious career includes acclaimed roles in movies such as “Glamour Girls,” “True Confession,” “Diamond Rings,” “Scores to Settle,” “Evil Men 1 and 2,” “Conspiracy,” and “Dead End,” among others.
Prior to her return to Nollywood, Benson publicly shared her transformation as a born-again Christian.
She now devotes herself full-time to preaching the gospel as an ordained minister.

Eva stressed that most men do not recognize or address this issue, further exacerbating the situation.
She said: “So when are we going to finally talk about the fact that so many women are facing brutal S3xual dissatisfaction in their marriages, and most men do not even care to learn why or how to help?
“A well-loved and deeply f3cked woman is a happy woman who will not stray”.
Her statement led to series of remarks on social media, with one fan arguing that cheating is a matter of personal character, independent of sexual satisfaction.
The fan tweeted: “This is like saying a well f3cked man will never cheat on his woman.
“A cheat is a cheat. If you like f3ck every day for 5 hours. They will still find a way to cheat”.
Eva responded by acknowledging that while cheating can indeed stem from individual traits, she clarified that women and men typically cheat for different reasons.
She wrote: “A cheat is a cheat. This is true. Womën and men cheat for completely different reasons, do you know that?”
