NOLLYWOOD RISING: Omosexy - Yahoo Lists Nigerian Actress Omotola Among The World's Highest-Grossing Movie Stars!
January 20, 2015 - NIGERIA - Yahoo recently published a list of ‘The Highest-Grossing Movie Stars You’ve Probably Never Heard Of’ and Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde made the list.
Yahoo highlights Omotola’s profile and achievements in Nollywood. Below is how she was described:
“We’ll wager not only have you not heard of Omotola Jalade Ekeinde - or ‘Omosexy’ as her fans call her - but we reckon you probably haven’t even heard of the industry she spearheads: Nollywood.
“Yes, that’s Nigeria’s version of Hollywood, in which Omosexy dominates - she has over 300 film credits to her name (although most go straight to video).
“In her homeland, she’s like a cross between Oprah Winfrey and Kim Kardashian, with her own reality TV series following her and her family. Though it’s nigh on impossible to determine what her box-office total is, given that the Nigerian film industry is mostly one that distributes through market stalls and street corners, it is estimated to be worth upwards of N89 billion (£320 million) a year - and Omosexy is a Nollywood cornerstone.”
Omotola is planning to celebrate her 20 years in the industry. The mother of five said that she would embark on an elaborate campaign to celebrate her time in the industry.
The celebration she said would mainly be for charity. To celebrate two decades of starring in some of the biggest and most iconic Nigerian movies, sharing soulful hits and her philanthropic deeds, she will be visiting various cities around the world and helping in any way she can.
