Top 5 Richest Nollywood Actresses
In Nigeria, some movie stars have proven again and again that they can guarantee return on investment as long as their faces adorn the poster.
They are Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Omoni Oboli, Funke Akindele and Nse Ikpe-Etim.
Or how else could one explain the success of box office hits like Mirror Boy, Ije, and Tango With Me all having Genevieve Nnaji starring in them? And what about Figurine and Anchor Baby which both starred Omoni Oboli as the lead actress?
Mirror Boy, Tango With Me, Last Flight to Abuja and Phone Swap all had sizeable negative reviews, yet they topped the box office, made huge profit and left many Hollywood movies far behind.
Below is a list of Nollywood’s five bankable actresses, their earnings and what is possibly working for them.

“Men Always Ask Me For Sex” – Melda Ada Okwori
Nollywood actress, Imelda Ada Okwori, who has featured in movies such as Law Abiding, Santana Ladies, Wedding Gifts and Alekwu Kidoma speaks about her new love for music, life and other issues.
You recently claimed to have started music from your mommy’s womb, why did you decide to combine this with your acting career?
Yes, this is because my mom also sings and growing up with her was fun. She encouraged me to write songs at a very tender age for weddings, send-off parties and all that. She also taught me how to dance different styles of our cultural music because she had a dancing troupe she formed in her secondary school days. We usually sit back in those days to sing and record Christmas carols and all that. She bought the entire localmusical instruments and so I grew up with these.

In this excerpt however, it is about two mega Nollywood faces, Genevieve Nnaji and Stella Damasus. Novia reveals what he tagged as ‘professional rivalry’ between the actresses and what Genevieve was caught doing on set.
Excerpts:
The Producer in me wanted to titillate the audience with a box office pairing never before seen in Nollywood. I had for a few months wondered how it would be like to have Genevieve and Stella Damasus in leading roles in the same movie. They both were audience favourites

‘I am quitting Nollywood’ – Emeka Ike
Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, has said he’s leaving Nollywood temporarily to strategise. Speaking to an Encomium reporter exclusively on Sunday July 22nd, the actor said:
“I have not quit Nollywood in the real sense of the word. What I did was to withdraw all my movies from the market, and I mean all the movies that are related with Emeka Ike…and the reason is not far fetched. I am angry with what is going on in the industry. My conscience would not allow me to go on with the decay in the industry. So, I feel that was the best thing to do, to dissociate myself from the problem and stand out! So, henceforth, any Nollywood movie would not involve Emeka Ike. Rather, I want to market all my movies on the label of Emeka Ike Production. If you want to deal with me as an actor,

How do you differentiate Nollywood (Nigerian movies) from Hollywood movies
You Know It’s A Nigerian Movie When;
1. The title of the movie tells u the whole story line
2. A lady is about to go to bed at night and yet her face is fully made up.
3. Someone will be shown 25 years after and he will be wearing the same clothes he wore earlier
4. When there is a flashback in a flashback.
5. When a film talks about past events in the 80s and 90s and you see MTN, ETISALAT and GLO banners in the background.
6. The lyrics of the soundtrack is literally the plot of the movie.
7. A car is about to have an accident when the steering wheel suddenly starts turning and the driver will eventually hit an “ewedu” stem and the driver will be seen with his head on the steering wheel with no damage to windscreen, nor any scratch on the car whatsoever.
