Omotola Jalade Listed Among 'Highest Grossing Movie Stars' On Yahoo


Omotola is really going places, through her her reality TV show. For her to make this list, is interesting and honorary. Congrats to her!

According to Yahoo, the Nollywood star and mother-of-four is listed among popular Hollywood stars like, Frank Welker, Bob Bergen and Jack Angel.
Yahoo lists it  as the "Highest Grossing Movie Stars You've Probably Never Heard Of"

See how they rated her after the cut....
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.

Many feared dead as twin blast hit the Global System (GSM) market in Potiskum, Yobe state on Sunday afternoon.
