solomon111: Congrats!
Although,she will always be in genny's shadow.

Why u involve genevive now?

The list is here: http://time100.time.com/2013/04/18/time-100/slide/all/

She better be watchful lest she get sucked in by the you-know-them. Being on the same list as Jay Z, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake etc is something I would be scared about meen. Come to think of it she been spending a lot of time out in the US these days, here's hoping she's not been sucked in already.

jakaiso:

Did you really say there is Nothing special about her?

I disagree-there is something special about every human being-just that some bring out their specialness and talent through hardwork and determinaton.

Put in a little more effort and time-and the world might one day be singing the praises of "nairaman66"

I guess you r putting effort as we speak!! All d best man..

Rossikk:

Ermm.....she is special, you DUMMY, because she is the first or second most popular actress in ALL of AFRICA and the Carribean, with countless millions of fans scattered across the GLOBE.

You do realise it is not only American and English famous personalities who are deservingly ''special''?

I am in a special mood, so won't respond to your comments! I believe we are too mature to start throwing words at each other today. Next time u won't be so lucky man!!

Temismith: Wareffa i dont give a cares

jealousy!

Stella_Bella: I am proud of her as a NIGERIAN, a wife, a mother and a beautiful woman
and above all she KICKED Genny's bottom!

Go gal...
CONGRATULATIONS.

Well constructed comments!! Kudos.. Don't feel too special ooO!!

She's Yoruba.

I'm not surprised.

Being a successful family woman despite her fame will always stand her out among her peers/competitors.

I'm proud to be Yoruba.

Virgin Finder:

What is genny?

its a lotion

The teeming Nigerian cinema grinds out some 2,500 movies a year, mostly direct-to-DVD quickies mixing melodrama, music and an evangelical Christian spin. (Think Bollywood via Tyler Perry.) Employing a million Nigerians, Nollywood enthralls millions more who come for the thrills,

which evangelical christian spin is that? I'm not aware of any.

maybe they meant african traditional religion or voodoo spin.

If they're referring to mount zion ministries, they're different from nollywood, to the best of my knowledge.

Employing a million Nigerians

I can certainly believe that even without hard evidence confirming it, mainly because of the way we keep being reminded of the man scarcity by nollywood.

Most of these employees are women I'm sure.

@ topic

congrats to her.

there is something special about every human being

very true.

Lool, Go Omotola, see all what they said about her here
http://www.kemifilani.com/2013/04/time-magazine-names-omotola-ekeinde.html

I actually pitched for Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde after I showed that she has more fans on Facebook than many top Hollywood actresses.

if you never marry i for go for u...

I don't think anyone cares if shes Yoruba, people just acknowledge the fact that she is Nigerian and African,

I keep wondering the sorta illiterate and highly backward nitwits that grace nairaland .

karpentar: What of Genevieve who was credited to be the best in Africa by CNN?

CNN is a News channel not a movie critic or Member of the Oscar academy and she is nowhere near the best in Africa

Congrats OmoT!
You're an inspiration, a true icon.

Congrats to her

You know they say in the country of blind men, one eyed man is king.

You fail to realise that for every omotola, their are a million rashidats with 6 kids from 6 area boys, dirty, living in squalor and selling beans by the roadside.

Orikinla: I actually pitched for Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde after I showed that she has more fans on Facebook than many top Hollywood actresses.

True! You know I got surprised myself. You know most Nigerian celebrities are not valued in Nigeria....but they are valued in other parts of africa/globe.
When I see some stars like Stephanie, out of inferiority complex that are desperate to enter Hollywood, I just shake my head. If to say, Africans make use of Internet very well, the Facebook/twitter fan-base of most of these Nollywood celebs will over-shadow Hollywood stars. Truth be told, Nollywood stars like genny, omoT etc have more fan base than even Hollywood superstars. Just that, Nollywood have more of their fans in africa, while Hollywood have more of their fans in America. Its that simple!

Godogwu:

^^ some people are fcukking stup!d

U mean some nigerians try and be specific cuz we are in a democratic world n u r entitle to ur opinion

Godogwu:
^^ some people are fcukking stup!d

Yeah you're right. Like ignorant little kids who jump onto online forums thinking only they can have opinions to express.
Some even quote others without having anything tangible to say, so yeah, you can say that again

Why not Tonto Dikeh?! ohhh this is partial oo

Congrats Omotola. And to the haters - Ecclesiastes 9:11
