Yahoo Lists Omotola As One Of The Actors The World Is Yet To Know

Yahoo has made a list of 10 highest grossing movie stars
they say the world has never heard off, and Omotola Ekeinde was listed among
the 10 stars. Yahoo described them as actors who have achieved great success in
their chosen fields but have received no recognition for their work. Below is
how they described our very own Omotola.

We’ll wager not only have you not heard of Omotola Jalade
Ekeinde – or ‘Omos*xy’ 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 Omos*xy
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 Omos*xy is a Nollywood cornerstone.
