After gaining public recognition in Nigeria as a beauty
pageant winner, Askia-Williams began a modelling career. As a model,
Askia-Williams appeared in several Nigerian print and television commercials
including Chicken George fast food, Kessingsheen Hair Care, boutique chain
Collectibles, and most famously, Visine. She also worked on several runway
shows.
Askia-Williams's acting break came in 1993, when she played
gold-digger Tokunbo Johnson in Nigerian soap Fortunes (later Mega Fortunes) on
NTA Network, a role which earned her critical acclaim and roles in Nollywood
movies. She has received several awards for her performances – including one
for "Best Actress in Nigeria" by Afro Hollywood London in 2000 – and
has produced several television shows and films.
She starred in several "Nollywood" films during
the 1990s and early 2000s, most of which were filmed to be released directly to
video, reaching a wide audience in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa such as
Tanzania and Ghana. She became one of Nigeria's biggest acting celebrities.
