Nollywood actress Ini Dima Okojie has given her million of followers a glimpse into her life as an actor.

She stressed that the thought of it makes her cringe, but the job has to be done.
“Yes! I entered a real dumpster truck for a scene in Blood Sisters 2.
We spent an entire day filming in Oregun for what became just a few seconds on screen. And honestly, that’s one of the things I find most fascinating about filmmaking.
A gentle reminder that it’s often a lot less glamorous than it looks. Behind every scene are hours of work, patience, problem-solving, teamwork, and sometimes… climbing into dumpster trucks.
The thought of it still makes me cringe, but the job had to be done.
Keep watching Blood Sisters 2 on Netflix”.
