Vivien Ikeh

Vivien Ikeh, born and raised in Lagos, emerged into the public spotlight as a beauty pageant contestant, earning first runner-up at the Miss Unilag pageant in 2003. After exploring opportunities in modeling—working with brands like Lux, Virgin Airlines, and Maracuja—she moved to the United States in 2008 via the U.S. visa lottery to pursue further studies and a multifaceted career. While in the U.S., she completed training in nursing while continuing to cultivate her talents in music and the performing arts, framing her future return to Nigeria. Upon relocating back to Nigeria in 2014, Vivien embarked on a career in Nollywood. Encouraged by her younger sister, Chika Ike, she debuted in films such as *Sweet Love* and *Different Women*, where she also took roles in scriptwriting. Though relatively new to acting compared to her sister, Vivien has expressed ambition to establish her own identity in the industry—leveraging her background in public relations and performance to carve out a niche in Nigeria’s film scene.
