Seun Sean Jimoh

Biography

Seun Sean Jimoh is a Nigerian actor, filmmaker, and social commentator who successfully straddles the worlds of Nollywood and the Nigerian diaspora. Originally from Ibadan, he gained early prominence in the TV series Kilanta and Super Story before relocating to the United States (New York), where he continues to produce and star in films while offering viral commentary on Nigerian socio-political issues. In 2025 and 2026, Jimoh has been particularly active as a bridge between the Yoruba and English film sectors. He directed and starred in the 2025 drama "Ina Ori Pepe", a film exploring religious hypocrisy and domestic betrayal, which performed well on digital platforms. He also appeared in "Owo Iya Agba" (2025) and "Ariran Eleyinju Egun" (2025), cementing his status as a key player in the "YouTube New Wave" of Yoruba cinema. Beyond film, Jimoh is a polarizing but influential voice on social media. In late 2024 and 2025, he frequently made headlines for his critiques of Nigerian youth culture, famously contrasting the public outrage over celebrity deaths (like Mohbad) with the comparative apathy toward the kidnapping crisis in Abuja. He has also been a vocal advocate for declaring a state of emergency on food production in Nigeria, urging the government to prioritize agriculture over other sectors. He resides primarily in the United States with his wife, Olatokunbo Morafa Jimoh, and their children, often documenting his life as a Nigerian creative living abroad.
