After a groundbreaking performance as Jobe in Picture Perfect, Ninalowo has become a household name. Seeing him play that role, one would not believe the uneasy start the actor had in breaking the movie and entertainment industry in Nigeria. From quitting acting to launching a record label, Ninalowo speaks to Guardian Life about his life as an actor.

How did your acting career start?
My journey began in 2010 on relocating to Nigeria. Acting was my core area of interest so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately for me at the time, I knew no one or had any ideas of how to get started so I took a chance in producing a movie titled Rebirth, with no experience or support. I then decided to give up the interest and started my record label, Diesel Music. I signed a few artists but within three years it failed and I lost all my savings. With everyone gone and seen as a complete failure by family and friends, all I could do was turn to God. I started to grow spiritually. By December of 2014, I was ready to take the first step in conquering my fears of failing again. I called my cousin Rukky Sanda for help, she gave me my first role that year and from that moment, every step led to another.

Two Muslim men are suspected of conspiring to attack Downing Street armed with an improvised bomb, suicide vest and knives.

Investigators suspect the pair wanted to detonate a bomb disguised as a bag. They would then attempt to kill Theresa May armed with a suicide vest, pepper spray and knife in the chaotic aftermath.

Naa'imur Zakariyah Rahman, 20, and Mohammed Aqib Imran, 21, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday charged with planning terror attacks.

The alleged conspiracy was foiled after a joint operation by Scotland Yard, West Midlands Police and MI5. Security chiefs stepped in amid fears the men were preparing to launch an attack, arresting them at gunpoint.

The smashed plot highlights the extreme threat still faced by the UK in a year blighted by terrorist atrocities which claimed 36 lives.
Counter-terrorist chiefs said it was the ninth foiled plot since March as hundreds of terrorist suspects remain under investigation.
