The Chameleon: Meet Meg Otanwa, Idoma-born fast-rising talented Nollywood actress who speaks over five languages

Nicknamed The Chameleon, Meg Otanwa is fearless, versatile and talented.

She is known for pushing boundaries with her amazing gift.

She broke into the klieglight in 2011 in the highly acclaimed movie I’ll Take My Chances alongside Ini Edo and Bryan Okwara,

Ever since, the Idoma-born budding actress has continued to experience astronomical rise in her career, starring in many chartbusting flicks and series such as October 1, Atlanta as well as Hush and thriller Derailed.

Interestingly, she is a Polyglot with 5 languages under her belt.

When asked by a journalist on how she managed that, the thespian said, “I am lucky to have a flair for languages. I’d say it runs in my family, as my father is a polyglot and each of my siblings speaks at least three different languages. I am fluent in five languages— English, French, Hausa, Yoruba and Spanish and of course my native language Idoma.”

 

When she left her well-paid job at African Development Bank to pursue her dream in the make believe industry globally known as Nollywood, many people faulted her decision, but today, the damsel has become a darling of the screen.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, a Master’s degree in Human Resources Management from TIME Universite Tunis, Tunisia and an MBA training from Universite Jean Moulin, Lyon France.
