Lizzy Gold Onuwaje: Embracing Change, Driving Growth in Nollywood

These words from Nollywood actress Lizzy Gold Onuwaje reflect not only her philosophy about life but also her personal journey in the Nigerian movie industry. For her, change has not just been a constant—it has been the tool that shaped her growth and her impact on the Nollywood stage.

Born in Warri, Delta State, Lizzy Gold’s early path was not immediately tied to acting. She first rose into the limelight in 2006 after competing in the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) pageant, where she earned national recognition as one of the outstanding contestants. She also proudly held the crown of Miss Delta State, a role that gave her confidence and public appeal. These experiences became stepping stones that opened doors into entertainment.

Her passion for storytelling led her to take a bold leap into Nollywood. To sharpen her craft, Lizzy Gold enrolled at Emem Isong’s Royal Arts Academy, one of the country’s respected acting schools. There, she developed her skills, refined her performance techniques, and prepared for the bigger stage. The decision to embrace change—transitioning from modeling to acting—proved to be a pivotal moment in her career.

Since then, she has steadily grown into one of Nollywood’s recognizable faces. From drama to epic roles, Lizzy Gold has carved out her place in an industry known for its intense competition. She has featured in movies such as Love Is Pain (2024), Original Madam (2022), and A Bride with the Gun (2020), among others. Her versatility on screen has earned her the admiration of fans across Nigeria and beyond.

Beyond acting, Lizzy Gold is also a film producer and entrepreneur, creating opportunities not just for herself but also for others within the industry. 

Naijajistreal96 reports that her growth has waxed immeasurably all round, as she continues to build a brand that resonates with millions of fans who follow her work.

Today, she is not only an actress but a role model to young women in Delta State and Nigeria at large. Her story reflects the power of transformation—how a woman from Warri, with determination and belief in her craft, could rise to become one of Nollywood’s stars.

Indeed, her own words best describe her life: “Change is a factor that affects growth and impartation.” For Lizzy Gold Onuwaje, every phase of change has been an opportunity to shine brighter, grow stronger, and leave an enduring impact in Nollywood.
