[edit] Early life
Stella Damasus-Aboderin was born in the town of Asaba in Delta State; her father was a banker and her mother was an opera singer and stage actress. Her family name was originally Ojukwu, but her grandfather changed it to Damasus (his first name) to avoid confusion with Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu during the Nigerian Civil War. When Damasus was three her father was transferred from the former ACB Bank branch in Asaba to Benin City. She attended school in Benin City and at a private secondary school in nearby Ibusa. Damasus' talent for singing and acting was encouraged by her mother.
[edit] The Famous G8
In 2005 the Actors' Guild of Nigeria placed Damasus-Aboderin and several other actors, including Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Nkem Owoh, Ramsey Noah, Pete Edochie, and Richard Mofe Damijo on a one year ban from filming after they were said to have been collecting huge fees from producers due to their A-list celebrity status. Although Aboderin denied the allegations, the ban fell on them all. The ban placed on these actors was seen as doom in the Nigerian film business, but currently, the actors are back in filming.
