LINDA EJIOFOR
COMPLETE PROFILE
Born Linda Ihuoma Ejiofor on the 16th of july, 1986 (age 29) in
Isiukauato of Abia state in Nigeria. Linda is an actress and model who got into
limelight for her role as the naughty character Bimpe Adekoya on M-NET TV series
Tinsel.
PERSONAL LIFE
AND EDUCATION
Linda is the second of five children. She attended Ilabor primary
school in surulere, lagos, Nigeria. She attended Federal Government Girls
College, Onitsha, Anambra state, Nigeria. Linda did a diploma course in Theatre
arts at the university of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria for three months but got
pulled out by her dad who at that point didn't support her dreams of acting.
She went on to study sociology at the university of Port Harcourt
in Rivers State, Nigeria. She did her national youth service in jigawa state.
Wow she has lived in six states of the country already, isn't she well
travelled?
The self acclaimed movielover was a tomboy while growing up until
she took the vows of modelling and had to forsake her shorts and boot for gowns
and heels. When she is given a script she does her best to get into her
character as she had to see movies like legally blonde and the
devil wears prada to help her properly portray Bimpe Adekoya on tinsel.
When not on the set of any film she spends her time indoors. Thats her trick
for staying off the media eye.
Linda Ejiofor is single but not searching but if she were in the
market, she would be looking for God fearing, clear vision for self and family,
good scentand a good sense of humour unlike the norm tall, black and handsome.
So interested guys should adjust their status. Oh! and remember i didn't tell
you that.
CAREER
Linda Ejiofor has been acting and modeling as far as she can
remember but got her first paid job when she modeled for an antiseptic product
during her years in the university.
She auditioned for Tinsel in 2007 while waiting for her Nigerian
Youth Service Corp (N.Y.S.C) post letter but was called the role in 2008 while
in Jigawa serving.
Linda still plays the role of Bimpe Adekoya on Tinsel till date.
Through this platform she has been spotted by other film producers like
Clarence A. Peters for whom she played the nonchalant E.M.E booking office
personnel who switched Wizkid’s and Pasuma’s event in music video Pakuromo.

her onboard THE MEETING movie project were she played the character Ejura. The
