These actors and actresses should be remembered for professionalism, not the present crop that are only portraying indecency, unclothedness and filth and polluting the minds of our kids

Soooo....this is subliminally a yoruba list.

Cool tho. I just know that if the tables were turned and Igbos made this kind of list we will be flooded with tribalistic insults.

Let me not derail this thread sha.

Lol started gini? May be in western nigeria, not in the then eastern nigeria, besides Nollywood was started by Kenneth Okonkwo (Living In Bondage) when we talk of nollywood credit should be given to the pioneer Andy Okonkwo and no other person.

Kenneth Okonkwo is already on my list brothers, they started late 80s/early 90s. They brought some powerful movies like;

Living in Bondage
When the sun set
Evil Passion
Deadly Passion
Obsession
Shame
Dead End
Just at Night
Compromise
Glamour girls and so on...

But when movies were theatred, stage played in the 60s or 70s, people like Herbert Ogunde, Professor Peller, Baba Sala, I show pepper, Adelove, started it before advancing technololgically to home videos in the 80s. You Google search bro.

Sile12:
The first Nigerian films were made by filmmakers such as Ola Balogun and Hubert Ogunde in the 1960s, but they were frustrated by the high cost of film production. However, television broadcasting in Nigeria began in the 1960s and received much government support in its early years. By the mid-1980s every state had its own broadcasting station.
Since the advent of what is today known as Nollywood in the late 80s or early 90s, actors have come and gone, like the saying that “soldier go and soldier come and barracks remain”. One needs not to argue the fact that the growth of the industry has translated into the discovery and projections of emerging talents whose startling performances further give credence to the industry.But at the same time, we must also acknowledge some of the notable faces who made waves at a very auspicious time in the industry and later descended into oblivion. Lets take a crucial look at the trend in the industry and the place of these old but once popular faces who are currently missing in action as well as the “evergreen actors and actresses.”. These ones have contributed positively into the industry, laid a solid foundation for the industry and has affected lives of viewers positively.
