Damilola Adegbite quits Tinsel

After four years of playing Telema Duke in the hit M-Net TV soap, Tinsel, Damilola Adegbite's management today announced her exit from the TV series. They didn't say why she left other than 'it was a professional career decision that had to be made' and they also didn't say if she would be replaced on Tinsel.

Despite leaving Tinsel, Damilola still plans to pursue her acting career, probably join Nollywood full time.

  15. Not surprised, the writers never really gave her character much credit anyway. It was too stereotyped and had no real screen future whatsoever. Goodluck to her anyways.

    1. Haba professor! Easy with the negative vibe. It's one thing not to like a character, an actor or both but to say you don't even see her succeeding in other Nollywood ventures, isn't that taking it too far?
