Olaide Arike Bello is a rising star in Nollywood, making her mark as an actress, producer, and creative force. Her debut film, ASIYAN, which she both stars in and produced, tells a compelling, true-story-based narrative about the challenges faced by families in Canada.
Originally from Shomolu, Lagos state, Olaide’s passion for acting was sparked early by her mother’s celebrity-hosting restaurant. Though her mother was initially reluctant about her pursuing entertainment, Olaide’s love for storytelling only grew.
She began her education in nursing at the University of Lagos before moving to Canada, where she transitioned into the entertainment world, gaining experience in various fields including makeup artistry and photography.

“I am determined to leave my mark in the industry…in five years, I hope to be recognised for my work and accomplishments, I want to be an award-winning actress and continue creating stories that have an impact on people,” she shared.
