I LITERALLY CRIED WHEN I READ THIS. BIG UPS TO YOU OMOSEXY AND AM GONNA DEFINITELY DRINK TO THIS ... CHEERS
I couldn't be more proud. Finally something encouraging from Nigeria other than boko-haram bombing and hunger and I am so happy for her. More grease to her elbows and the best life can offer now and always. The "Queen of Nollywood" as being called by Time, here is her review below according to Time...
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
Actress, singer, philanthropist, 34
The world’s most productive English-language film industry is not Hollywood but Nollywood. The teeming Nigerian cinema grinds out some 2,500 movies a year, mostly direct-to-DVD quickies mixing melodrama, music and an evangelical Christian spin. (Think Bollywood via Tyler Perry.) Employing a million Nigerians, Nollywood enthralls millions more who come for the thrills, the uplift and the artful agitations of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde — the Queen of Nollywood.
Called OmoSexy by her fans, she has made 300 or so features, from the 1996 Mortal Inheritance to the 2010 superproduction Ijé, shot partly on location in Los Angeles. Married to an airline pilot she wed on a flight from Lagos to Benin, Jalade-Ekeinde brings a juggler’s grace to her roles as actress, singer, reality-show star, mother of four and philanthropist (the Omotola Youth Empowerment Programme).
Success hasn’t spoiled Africa’s most renowned leading lady .Rather than going Hollywood, Omotola wants to stay Nollywood.
