Yahoo has listed Nollywood Superstar Omotola
Jalade-Ekeinde aka “Omosexy” as one of ‘Highest-Grossing Movie Stars
in the world.
The list titled “The Highest-Grossing Movie Stars You’ve Probably Never Heard Of”
consists of the 10 highest grossing movie stars from the Hollywood,
Nollywood and Bollywood movie industry, who have achieved great success
during their career but have not received the recognition they deserve
for their work.
Yahoo writes about Omosexy thus:
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.
Recently, Omosexy marked her 20th year anniversary in the showbiz industry by giving gift items for the less privileged in a act of charity.
