    Early life and education

    edit

    Charles is from a royal family.[citation needed] He grew up with his grandmother,[3] and hardly recollects his mother because at a young age he was sent to another geographical location for the purpose of keeping his aging grandmother company. He aspired to someday be a lawyer but had a change of mind when he attended Bode Osoyin's writer's resort, where he decided to acquire a certificate course in dramatic arts. In 1993, he achieved this goal[citation needed] and would later graduate from the University of Port Harcourt in 1999.[4][failed verification]

    Career

    edit

    After making the decision to venture into acting, he then joined different dramatic and theatre clubs in his local town and started performing stage drama. He later decided to acquire more knowledge in the field of acting and then enrolled for a one-year acting program in Bode Osoyin's Writers Resort, where he obtained a certificate course in Dramatic Arts after completing the program in 1993.[citation needed]

    After graduating from the University of Port Harcourt in 1999,[citation needed] he relocated to Lagos State. He became the assistant director at Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen's production company.[2]

    In 2016, members from the Screen Writers Guild of Nigeria (SWGN) unanimously appointed Inojie as president of their labor union.[2]

    Personal life

    Inojie is married and has two children.[5]

      About The African Archives

      Africa and its people are filled with rich history and dynamic cultures. Majority of the communities that inhabit the continent use oral communication, as such much of the history is undocumented. And as the custodians of our oral history pass on, more history is lost. The African Archives is dedicated to providing a space where African history, in all its forms - written, oral, pictorial, etc. can be preserved. The portal welcomes contributors.
