You go girl!
Hollywood stars like your Tom Cruises and your Samuel L Jacksons are ten-a-penny these days – you can’t leave the house without seeing their faces plastered on bus stops and the sides of buildings.
What of the actors who have achieved great success but receive no recognition for their work? Why, that bloke you were queing behind in Waitrose could have been one of these guys – the 10 highest-grossing movie stars you’ve never heard of…
Omotola Jalade Ekeinde
Total box-office: Unknown
Total box-office: Unknown
''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 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 £320 million a year – and Omosexy is a Nollywood cornerstone''.YAHOO cullage
Omotola is the ONLY Nigerian listed amongst the great names on the list.
The celebrated actress would be celebrating 20years in Nollywood beginning this January.
I join in celebrating her.
everyday as i undergo the stress of motherhood,i want to stand up,arms in the air and scream ''Tola baby how did you manage to juggle Motherhood,Careerhood and Wifeyhood and still be a success?can i borrow your magic wand girl?''
Go Babyyyy!

ReplyDeleteI admire Omotola alot...wishing her many more years of fruitful acting, I pray she breaks into hollywood in no time!
ReplyDeleteNice 1 omo T
ReplyDeleteI started appreciating this woman after I became a mum to just 2 myself. Anyone who's a mum with dreams and ambitions will know it's not easy. For her to be able to hold down and home of 4 kids and a husband.... I really respect her. keep it up Omotola, you really inspire me.
ReplyDeleteOmotola is forever a LEGEND. I'm very proud of her achievements all these years.Staying 20years isn't easy for an industry like nollywood. The sky is just the starting point for her.
ReplyDeleteSo far, she's been a role model, career and family wise. Though there's a bit of exaggeration about the reality TV show of hers. She's doing well for herself, big ups to her.
ReplyDeleteI love this woman, OmoTee
ReplyDeleteSo what's the special thing here.. Abeg shun matter and welcome me peacefully or this blog gonna be hotter for you all to stay

ReplyDeleteWay to go Omosexy.
ReplyDeleteKey to Omosexy"s success
ReplyDelete1. The Good Lord
2. A very supportive and i-can-take-care-of-everything-just-pirsue-ur-dream kinda guy.
3. Her tenacious nature
3. Her maturity
Again,Omosexy is a very lucky lady. Early marriage helped too. She for still dey born sef.
Again,I dedicate this next line to Captain Mathew Ekeinde:
Thank you,Sir,for allowing your wife spread her winds and fly.
You married her at an early age so you would have clipped her wings and kept her at home or even gotten her a less tasking job,but sir,you didn't.
Thanks for letting her soar
Thanks for being that WIND beneath HER wings.
Spot on Irene!
DeleteI love my omotee!!!!! Omo toh sexy.... Kudos ma'am
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Omotola
ReplyDeleteI celebrate her too, woman of epitome
ReplyDeleteOmot is a beauty to behold,conbining motherhood,parenting and other endevours is d hardest job on earth,kudos omot,u try wella
ReplyDeleteHow can you lead box office when you have not been in any meaningful film in over 4 years? The only one you appeared years ago, you shared star billing with Genevieve Nnaji. The other one, you shared it with Jim Iyke. The lies are just too much and bloggers keep helping Omotola lie herself
ReplyDeleteMy fellow anony... thanks for this comment. Ignorant people on the blogs. Everything they read, they accept. To just reason it a bit, wusai.
DeleteI just love this woman so much..
ReplyDeleteI hope Mr ekeinde no hear me o :)
Upwards of £350m how? Loool
ReplyDeleteYaay way to go girl
ReplyDeleteI don't believe this when was the last time OMOTOLA acted a movie let them prove it I love Omotola but this one is a pure lie and misleading information to the public.
ReplyDeleteLwkmd! We celebrate her from behind then.....we're celebrating her in reverse.
ReplyDeleteExaggeration...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations OmoTola Jalade Ekeinde
ReplyDeleteEvery woman indeed needs a supportive husband...Tuale to Oga Matthew.
