From unknown Brit to Nigerian film star

'Nollywood', Nigeria's film industry, has a white British actress as their latest star.

Claire Edun has been chosen by a prolific Nigerian film director, in what will be her first major role.

Despite growing up in Winchester, Claire was a fan of Nollywood films, which is where she picked up the local dialect of 'Pidgin English'.

The 大象传媒's Lagos correspondent Martin Patience asked her for a demonstration.
