Nollywood actress Maureen Solomon quit acting after she got married in 2005 to raise a family. In 2011, the actress returned to feature in Uche Elendu movie and co-produce “In Too Deep” with another actor.
Since 2011, the actress has never featured in a movie.
The beautiful and brainy actress Maureen revealed why she left the scene at the peak of her career. She cited that ” I am focused more on the family front, which I feel is more important”, For all these years, I am grateful for the time that I have spent with my family, and continue to spend. I have devoted my time to my children for some time now. So, right now, I am coming back to work. My absence all these years has been because of my family and not my husband as been rumoured. She further stressed that as a matter of fact, I got married in 2005 and I acted till 2011. The last time I did a movie was in 2011 and my husband never stopped me. So, I wonder why he would stop me in the middle of the way. My husband actually encourages my work, even in my going back now by the grace of God. It is still him that is pushing me and he will always spur me to do greater things, not just the normal thing we know of. So, he never stopped me, I stopped myself because I needed to dedicate more time to my children. My last house girl left as at the time I decided to stay home and I decided not to get another one. I practically had to become the house girl. So my family first before my career for now.
Moreso, I believe and I am praying to God that my coming back to the industry will be to change lives and not just looking for the money. If it is for the fame, I don’t think I can get more famous than I am now, I don’t know how famous I am anyway. My coming back to the industry is strictly to change lives, not just the people that are watching but also the people that I am working with. That is what I am hoping for because a whole lot of times, I don’t know if we are blind, we do things but we don’t look at ourselves.
