Transcription
Early life and career
Peters was born into a military family of Idoma extraction on 30 May 1980 in Ado Local Government Area, Benue State in central Nigeria. Her family moved around Nigeria extensively and, as a consequence, she speaks several Nigerian languages. Peters was sent to Airforce nursery and primary schools and FGG College in Wuse, Abuja. She went on to study Computer Science at Asman English School, graduating in 1998. Later, she studied TV and Film at Video Waves and Camera Film School and graduated in 2002. There, according to her official biography, she finished Best Overall Female in her class. She started acting in Nollywood films in 2002, the same year that she graduated.[9] The following year she began modelling and appeared in billboards, TV commercials, press ads and handbills for companies such as British American Tobacco (BAT), Fidelity Bank, Bank PHB, Golden Penny Pasta, UHF, Long-life milk, Haemeron Blood Tonic and FinBank Nigeria.[10]
Despite increasing pressure for Nollywood actresses to perform raunchy love scenes and appear with little or no clothing, Peters has stated, more than once, that she is not planning to follow suit.[11][12][13]

Although Susan Peters regularly speaks about her family in interviews. she is discrete about romance and has rarely been linked with any men in the popular press.
