British Nigerian, Moe made her first competitive debut for Nigeria at the 11th All African Games, which took place in 2015, in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo and she is definitely doing well for herself.

The first acclaimed film in the DC cinematic universe, Wonder Woman was easily the biggest surprise of 2017 and one of the movie’s best cast, Amazons was played by Nigerian heptathlete and physiotherapist, Moe Sasegbon.

One of the best things about the movie was how it completely averted the male gaze and portrayed its women as wholly strong and capable.

Talking about how she got the rule in an interview with Pulse, she said:

“I did an audition. There were first of all scouting for just tall athletic looking women, so I went for the audition.


I had to do three different auditions, where I had to do different fight scenes. I was with the sword and a shield, and I got called back and got the part.”

“I can say it’s one of the most amazing things I have done till date. I was involved for about six months, that included training, like in the gym, and a bit of stunt training as well.

So they were trying to create Amazon warriors, so we had to look the part and train the part. We had to be strong enough to look like Amazonian warriors.

If Nollywood ventures into superhero and action movies, I think that would be really fun to do”
