In a shocking revelation, Nollywood actor Bassey has announced that he has left his acting career behind to pursue a new profession in Canada – plumbing. The news was shared during a live chat on Instagram with media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze.

According to Bassey, his new career as a plumber has fetched him a better income than his previous life in tech, and he now enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle. When asked by Daddy Freeze about his transition, Bassey replied, "I’m into construction here. I do construction; I am a plumber."

Bassey’s decision to leave acting for plumbing has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the sudden change. However, the actor has stressed that his new career has been a successful one, allowing him to afford a lifestyle he couldn’t have maintained in Nigeria.

Bassey is not the only Nollywood actor to have made a career change after relocating from Nigeria. American-based actress, model, and former beauty Queen of the University of Lagos titleholder, Regina Askia-Williams, has also swapped acting for another career. Askia bagged certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner and practices in New York City after leaving the Nigerian shores.
