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.
