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.
