Nancy Isime Biography: Net worth, Husband, Controversies 

Words like multi-talented, virtuoso, protean, and well-rounded cannot go missing in a Nancy Isime biography.

You don’t agree? Well, are there very many young women in Nigeria who can boast of being successful in television presenting, red-carpet hosting, acting, and modeling as the lady with a signature hairstyle?

The ease with which Nancy Isime crisscrosses the roles should be both a research-level text and a reference for seminal work.  

For now, let’s ignore the null hypothesis (Ho) and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and present the Nancy Isime story.

Nancy Isime Biography

Nancy Isime Biography
Nancy Isime and Ini Dima-Okojie in Blood Sisters

Nancy Isime was born on December 17th, 1991 in Lagos state to Nigerian parents of Esan descent. The Esan people are an ethnic group in Edo state who speak the Esan language.

The actress had her primary and junior secondary education in Lagos. Afterward, she left for Benin City, where she had her senior secondary education.

Nancy Isime is an alumnus of the University of Lagos, where she got a diploma in Social Work. She also did a six-month course at the University of Port Harcourt.

She lost her mother at five and was left with her father, who helped shape her life and those of her two siblings. Her mother’s absence, though, affected the young Nancy Isime.

“I didn’t really have a smooth childhood,” she said.

“I suffered from depression and attempted my first suicide in childhood. It was actually the only one, but I could go through all that and I’m still here today. Some people had time to grow through life, but I had to mature in time. Losing your mum at five, you’re exposed to a lot of things you’re not supposed to experience. I started working at 17.

“I worked as an usher at events. From there, I started modeling. Some things I did, I didn’t expect would get me to where I’m today. I was trying to save money here and there to exit the country and start working abroad.”

She stayed back and used the challenges as a launching pad to success.

“I’m just at a point in my life where I’m just at peace with my success, accomplishments, and failures,” she said.  

“Everything is for a purpose. It can’t always be smooth. Challenges are stepping stones to another level.”

Nancy Isime Career

Nancy Isime Career

A dive into Nancy’s career gives more detail about Nancy Isime’s biography.

Let’s get to it;

Nancy Isime was born when a popular TV series, One Life to Live, aired its 6,000th episode. And it’s quite fitting that she started her career as an actress in a TV series, Echoes, in 2011 the same year the American soap opera had its last episode.

But she was all bags of nerve on her first episode on set. She fluffed her lines and even struggled to speak English correctly. Thankfully, she had an understanding director and crew. They calmed her nerves, and she could get her acts together. She has never looked back since then.

Before her acting debut, she had won the Miss Valentine International beauty pageant and first runners-up position at the Miss Telecoms Nigeria contest all in 2009. She ventured into modeling afterward and worked with brands like Ade Bakare, Konga Online, Shakara Couture, Zizi Cardow, House of Marie, and Adebayo Jones.

“In Nigeria, modeling is not as it is in the Western countries where you get your big break and that is it,” she said.  

“Here, you can get your big break and still go back down, so it is very imperative that you get your big break and continue to work hard and continue to come back for more.”

Nancy Isime hosted The Squeeze – a gossip show, which was her first presenting job – a technology show called What’s Hot, and was in the background of MTN Project Fame Season 7.

She replaced radio personality and TV host, Toke Makinwa, as the presenter of a popular show on Hip TV in 2016. In 2019, she co-hosted The Headies Awards with Reminisce. That same year, she launched her own TV show, which she called The Nancy Isime Show. Two years later, she was the presenter on the reality talent show, The Voice Nigeria.

In 2020, she was back as the co-host, with Bovi, for The Headies. In 2022, she starred in Blood Sisters, a Netflix original series produced by EbonyLife TV studio owned by Mo Abudu.

Controversy

Maybe the cap doesn’t fit, especially if you are single because it was rumored that Nancy Isime prefers dating married men! A United Kingdom-based married man, Michael Dion-Goli, was even mentioned.

Nancy Isime was tagged as a prostitute, but she denied the affair and that she was never bankrolled by him.

“If you’re a Nigerian woman with plans to be successful. Please add these names to your plans so it doesn’t surprise you when it happens ‘Ashawo, Olosho,” she said.

“Especially if you decide to be an actress. It’s an automatic naming ceremony if you like be a virgin! I knew the ‘breaking news’ was coming. There’s been too much positive news about me online. Not everyone likes that.

“Once your name drives traffic, the propaganda begins with or without evidence. But listen, I refuse to be bullied by the patriarchy! The sad part is I haven’t even scratched the surface yet. God just started with me.”

And only God can judge!
