The Nollywood icon and beauty, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, is
celebrating her 20 years in the entertainment industry. The veteran actress,
who has featured in over 200 reputable movies, has been listed as one of the
‘‘highest-grossing movie stars, fans, probably, never heard of”, by Yahoo!
Omotola also happens to be the only Nigerian and African on the list.
Omotola is listed alongside Bollywood star, Shah Rukh Khan,
Frank Welker, Bob Bergen, Jack Angel, Mickie McGowan, Michael Papajohn, Martin
Klebba, Clint Howard and Chris Ellis. Omotola was likened to Oprah Winfrey and
Kim Kardashian, and also qualified as ‘Nollywood’s cornerstone’.’‘In her
homeland she’s like a cross between Oprah Winfrey and Kim Kardashan, with her
own reality TV series.
Although, it’s near 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 £320 million a year – and Omosexy is a Nollywood cornerstone”,
according to Yahoo! While sharing the news on her official Instagram page, the
award winning actress wrote “Hopefully, someday this could be a thing of the
past. #gratefulstill .
