Dr. Uzee Usman is one of the most sought-after Nollywood stars in Nigeria. My initial admiration for him began in 2019 when I watched his movie “If I am President,” where he not only portrayed a compelling character but also served as the producer. Since then, I’ve eagerly followed his work.
Recently, he took on the role of Adamu Judah in the highly successful Nollywood film “A Tribe Called Judah,” making a significant mark in the industry. Dr. Uzee’s talent has propelled him to be among the highest-paid actors, solidifying his position as a prominent figure in Nigerian cinema. Born on November 11, 1986, in Kaduna, Kaduna State, Nigeria, he started his acting journey in 2003, contributing to both Nollywood and Kannywood.
Dr. Uzee, a Yoruba-born actor, movie producer, TV host, and CEO, graduated from the University of Abuja with a degree in Political Science. Later, he earned another degree in English Language from the University of Jos and capped it off with a Special Effects program in South Africa. In 2021, he received an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Iheris University, Togo.
Beginning his career as a make-up artist at a young age, Dr. Uzee gained early recognition, earning an Africa Movie Academy Award (AMAA) in 2008 for his work on the film “London Boy.” His success continued with awards such as the African Viewer’s Choice Awards (AMVCA), Best Film at the 2014 City People Entertainment Awards, and the United Nations Peace Achievers Award.
As a producer, he crafted award-winning movies like “Oga Abuja” and “Maja,” which received accolades such as Best Hausa Movie of the Year at the 2013 City People Entertainment Awards and Best Film of the Year (Kannywood) at the 2014 City People Entertainment Awards. His film “If I am President” is a personal favorite of mine.
Dr. Uzee Usman Adeyemi, despite his achievements, remains unmarried. His net worth is estimated to be around $450,000, reflecting his success and influence in the Nigerian film industry.
