Nigerian actor Zack Orji reveals how he became a citizen of Gabon

In a recent interview, the 64-year-old film star said he was born in Libreville, the capital of Gabon, making him a citizen of the Central African country.

He said his birth took place in Gabon due to his father’s frequent travels for work.

Orji further disclosed that he has been able to visit Gabon again for a movie production.

“There is a name that is not usually on the screen, my middle name. My middle name is Amefuna and my father gave me that name which means ‘let my heritage not be lost’,” he said.

“Because of my work, I travel to different countries and because of my father’s work, he also traveled to different countries. He worked with John Holt, he had a knowledge of French and in one of his travels I was born in Gabon. As God will have it, I have gone back to Gabon to direct a film.”

Orji recently revealed he has regained his memory after undergoing successful brain surgeries.

On December 29, the actor slumped and was admitted to the intensive care unit of the national hospital in Abuja.
