Ngozi Sylvia Oluchi Ezeokafor (commonly known as Sylvya Oluchy) is a Nigerian actress. She won the Most Promising Act of the Year award in the Best of Nollywood Awards.[1] She shared photos of herself in a semi-nude way and then said in an interview with Showtime Celebrities that she sees no big deal in going nude.[2]
Sylvia Oluchi was born in Lagos State, south-western Nigeria and raised in Abuja, the federal capital territory of Nigeria.[3] She studied theatre Arts at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka, Anambra State, southeastern Nigeria.
According to her, she never wanted to be an actress until her mom told her "You will make a good actress" after noticing her unique talent in mimicking her school teachers.[4] In 2011, she played the role of Shaniqua in the popular Atlanta TV series. During interviews with Best of Nollywood Magazine and YES International Magazine Sylvia made national headlines when asked if she had any boundaries or limits in her acting profession, she replied "I don’t have any boundaries because my body is my laptop. Others have their laptops and files, what I have are body and voice, Even the concept of nudity, I don’t have any problems whatsoever..."[5] [6] [7] [8]
