Yahoo have listed nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde among 10 highest-grossing movie stars you have never heard of. See what they have to say about the screen goddess:
"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 Nigerian version Hollywood, in which Omosexy dominates - she has over 300 film credit to her name ( although most go straight to video). In her homeland she's like a cross between Oprah Wilfred and Kim Kardashian., with her own reality TV series following her and her family.
Though it's nigh 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 pounds a year- and Omosexy is a Nollywood cornerstone"Omotola has really done well for herself. She will be celebrating 20 years in the Nigerian movie industry this year.
