Rivers State’s iconic actress and humanitarian, Hilda Dokubo, is once again proving that her love for the arts goes beyond the screen. The veteran Nollywood star has taken on a new mission — recruiting and nurturing raw artistic talents in Port Harcourt, grooming the city’s youth who are passionate about art for greatness.
In a heartfelt post shared on her Facebook page, Dokubo revealed how her latest initiative is focused on spotting raw talents and helping them transform natural ability into polished skill.
She wrote, “Talents are everywhere you turn, the challenge is talented people willing to subject talent to training and discipline. To remain on the above advantage group, you must remain disciplined and consistent in practice and learning.”

The project, which she’s championing alongside Millicent Jack, was inspired by their desire to honor their mother and mentor, Amatu Braide — a woman whose influence clearly lives on through their commitment to the creative arts.
“My sister Millicent Jack decided it was time to honour our mother and mentor Amatu Braide and we took it a step further as was typical of her,” Dokubo added. “Spontaneously, we scouted for raw traditional dance talents; yes! We found a good number and we are ready to impart and convert talent into skill.”
Known for her deep roots in the cultural scene, Hilda Dokubo — fondly called Hilda the Waterside Girl — has always championed the growth of young creatives in the Niger Delta. Through her consistent work, she continues to shape the narrative that Port Harcourt is a breeding ground for creative excellence, not just oil wealth.
