It’s seems Guinness World Records won’t be the only remarkable feat for Nigerians around the world this week, as the Nation is also making strides in the global film industry.

Veteran Nollywood actress, Chika Ike blazed the trail as the first Nigerian actress invited to grace the red-carpet of the annual Cannes Film Festival, and has been ranked on the best dressed list on Vogue, New York Times and Harper’s Bazaar. 

At the 76th Cannes Film Festival, it was obvious Chika Ike understood the assignment and delivered glowingly.
