When last did you watch any Nollywood film featuring either Genevieve Nnaji or Omotola Ekeinde? Am quite sure your answer would be like 2 or 3 years now or even more.


Well, there is no doubt that Genevieve and Omotola are the biggest stars in Nollywood. The former was recognized by Oprah while the later was recognized by Times magazine. But the fans of both actresses are worried that they no longer see these stars in recent Nollywood movies been released as they seem to have gradually gone into oblivion.

Well the main reason why they no longer feature in recent films is because they are too expensive such that producers can’t afford them again, so they rather go for cheaper actresses. The amount each of the two actresses charge can be used to produce and package Asaba Nollywood movie with some money remaining for the producer. Another reason why Genevieve and Omotola are no more regular in films is because they seem to have outgrown the Asaba films because most of the Asaba produced films are not of Standard and these actresses cannot ruin their brand with anyhow films, so they are too choosy in picking up roles.
Nevertheless, these actresses still need to feature in films if they must remain relevant. Obi Emelonye in a recent interview suggested that these two actresses should start producing their own films and featuring themselves in them, so as to remain relevant, and I totally agree with him.
