iROKOtv Top 10

1. SCREEN GODDESSMOST WOMEN WANT TO BE HER AND MOST MEN WANT TO BE WITH HER. SCREEN GODDESS GENEVIEVE NNAJI IS NOT ONE OF THE HIGHEST PAID ACTRESSES FOR NO REASON. SHE HAS THAT SEX-APPEAL THAT IS NOT TRASHY BUT CLASSY. PLACE HER IN A FILM WITH ANY MALE AND YOU WILL DEFINITELY SEE A SPARK.Genevieve Nnaji in Weekend Getaway

4. RELEVANTCONTROVERSY FOLLOWS TONTO DIKEH EVERYWHERE BUT SHE DOESN’T CARE; NOT MANY ACTRESSES CAN BOAST OF GETTING A FULL BACK TATTOO DURING A MOVIE SHOOT. TONTO IS NOT AFRAID TO EXPRESS HERSELF OR GO AGAINST THE ‘AFRICAN NORM’. SHE HAS EVEN VENTURED INTO MUSIC AND HER TWO SINGLES TRENDED FOR THREE WEEKS. WHETHER YOU LOVE HER OR NOT, HER NAME WILL ALWAYS DEPART FROM YOUR MOUTH. SHE SURE KNOWS HOW TO KEEP HERSELF CURRENT AND RELEVANT.

5. CROSS-OVERFUNKE AKINDELE ROSE TO FAME WITH HER 2008 NIGERIAN YORUBA COMEDY-DRAMA JENIFA. SHE IS ONE OF A FEW YORUBA NOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES TO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CROSSED OVER TO ENGLISH NOLLYWOOD. SHE HAS FOUND HER COMEDIC STYLE AS AN ACTRESS AND HAS BROADENED HER FAN BASE IN BOTH THE YORUBA AND ENGLISH NIGERIAN FILM INDUSTRY.Funke Akindele in The Fighter

6. VERSATILITY

DESMOND ELLIOT IS VERY VERSATILE; HE HAS NEVER LET HIS DREAMS STOP GROWING; AFTER GAINING SUCCESS AS A NOLLYWOOD ACTOR, HE WENT ON FURTHER TO ESTABLISH HIMSELF AS A DIRECTOR AND A PRODUCER. HE IS NOW ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY CONTRIBUTING TO THE NEW NIGERIAN CINEMA.

7. RIGHT CONNECTIONSWHEN YOU HEAR THE NAME ‘EDOCHIE’, MOST OF US THINK OF VETERAN ACTOR PETE EDOCHIE. THE ACTING BUG HAS BITTEN ONE OF HIS SONS, YUL EDOCHIE, WHO IS VERY TALENTED AND HAS SUCCESSFULLY BUILT A NOLLYWOOD CAREER FOR HIMSELF. HAVING A MENTOR THAT IS SUCCESSFUL IN THE NIGERIAN FILM INDUSTRY ALWAYS COMES IN HANDY.Yul Edochie in Her Husband

8. MODELTHERE SEEMS TO BE A TREND OF NIGERIAN MODELS STARRING IN NOLLYWOOD MOVIES. BIG BROTHER ALL STARS (2010) WINNER UTI NWACHUKWU IS A MODEL TURNED-ACTOR AND TV PRESENTER. HE HAS PROVEN THAT HE IS MORE THAN JUST A HANDSOME FACE BY WALKING HOME WITH THE 2013 NOLLYWOOD MOVIE AWARD FOR BEST RISING STAR MALE. OTHER NOLLYWOOD STARS WHO STARTED THEIR CAREERS AS MODELS INCLUDE STEPHANIE OKEREKE-LINUS, SUSAN PETERS, ALEXX EKUBO, SEUN AKINDELE AND MANY MORE.

9. COMEDYIT IS ALWAYS GREAT TO GO HOME AFTER A HARD DAY’S WORK AND BE ABLE TO RELAX. ANY MOVIE THAT FEATURES JOHN OKAFOR, POPULARLY KNOWN AS ‘MR IBU’, IS GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD AND FORGET THE MISERIES OF LIFE. BEING ABLE TO MAKE LOVERS OF NOLLYWOOD LAUGH WILL CONSTANTLY ENLARGE YOUR FAN BASE.

10. EYE CANDYA MOVIE MIGHT HAVE THE WORST STORY-LINE EVER WRITTEN BY A HUMAN BEING BUT IF IT FEATURES A TALL, FIT AND HANDSOME MAN THAT CAN ACT VERY WELL (AND NOT ACT IN SOME CASES), I KNOW IT WILL KEEP THE LADIES GLUED TO THE SCREENS. LET’S FACE IT, WOMEN LOVE TO WATCH MEN WHO ARE EASY ON THE EYES BUT WHEN YOU HAVE AN AMAZING TALENT LIKE FREDRICK LEONARD, YOU ARE BOUND TO MAXIMISE YOUR FAN BASE.
