Who is the Face of Nollywood?

June 2, 2008 Posted by User ImageWatchMan 

Who is the Face of Nollywood

Nollywood is coming of age and like every other movie industries, it is starting to witness its own dose of celebrity worship, followship and craze; while some are worthy of emulation as role models, others are behaving badly.

It is therefore important at this point to x-ray the industry and choose those that their faces can be proudly presented as the ‘real’ face of Nollywood.

Total Television Studios is set to organise a search that will throw up the face of Nollywood. People are expected to vote in two categories to choose the face of Nollywood actor and actress.

Already there are shortlist for the two categories:

The ten stars include Genevieve Nnaji, Stella Damasus, Ini Edo, Patience Ozokuor and Bukky Wright for females

and

While the males include Emeka Ike, KOK, Ramsey Nounah, Saheed Balogun and RMD.

Also,

Members of the public are expected to vote for their favourite stars via SMS from July 2008.

We at Nollywood Watch will invite you to also select your Nollywood Face here online. We urge you to keep a date.

Meanwhile, who is your nomination for face of Nollywood?

Leave a comment and send your nominations for nollywood faces (male and female) to: nomination [at] nollywoodwatch.com

*Nomination are open till midnight June 30th, 2008.*
