I always take time off to acquire more knowledge, to become something else in entertainment, and also to keep giving my fans what they want. And basically that\u2019s why I\u2019ve been off the scene for a while and I am coming back with a bang.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, I have two movies in the works and I will be making it known to the public pretty soon. At the moment, I can officially tell you that I am a filmmaker also, not just the regular Nonso Diobi movie star that you know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m also into directing now. I\u2019m producing my own movies, and very soon, the fans will really understand why I took some time off.
