Mo Abudu, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EbonyLife TV, and Nollywood star Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde a.k.a, have been named among 50 women making an impact in showbiz by Variety magazine.

According to Variety, a weekly American entertainment trade magazine, the 50 women on the list are “doing extraordinary things on the worldwide stage” with special focus on the entertainment industry.

Abudu’s profile on the magazine’s website; Variety.com read: “Abudu used her star-making springboard as the face of daytime talkie ‘Moments With Mo’ to launch the EbonyLife empire.

“With a film production unit and upscale lifestyle TV network; she’s been dubbed the Oprah of Africa.

“‘As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I’ve had to be strong, focused and relentless and work twice as hard as the men around me,’ she says.

“Determined to push for gender parity in the Nigerian biz, she estimates that nearly 80 per cent of ‘key positions’ at EbonyLife are filled by women,” Variety wrote.

Jalade-Ekeinde, one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine in 2013, was described as a Nollywood icon.

Variety wrote: “With more than 300 acting credits to her name, Ekeinde is an icon of Nigeria’s prolific Nollywood film biz.

“Although she says that, “at heart, I think I am an activist first.

“An ambassador for the UN’s World Food Program and campaigner for Amnesty Intl., she’s used her big-screen platform to drive her humanitarian goals.

“Her next step is developing a film village in the former slave port of Badagry, where she wants young Nigerians to hone their filmmaking skills while learning about “our rights and future as Africans,” they said.

Reacting to the news, Abudu excitedly shared a post on Thursday on her instagram page @moabudu, writing:

“Happy International Women’s Day! I am happy to share this good news with you all that I have been listed in The Variety Magazine 2018 International Impact Report, as one of the 50 women during extraordinary things on the global stage.

Thank you @variety for the honour. May this be your year of GREAT PROGRESS Ladies.”

The list, which was compiled to mark International Women’s Day, also features British singer Adele, Hollywood stars; Nicole Kidman, Lupita Nyong’o, and Muccia Prada, creative director at Prada.

Other prominent inclusions include Harry Potter author J.K. Rowlings, British actress Emma Watson, Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, CEO Atresmedia Mercedes Gamero and British screenwriter Jane Goldman.

The Variety Magazine 2018 International Impact Report is the first of its kind and it is aptly tagged ‘Showbiz Women Prevail (and Persist) Around the Globe’.

They wrote: “It’s not always easy to be a woman in this world, let alone a showbiz leader that happens to be one.

“There are the usual leadership obstacles to overcome, plus downright sexism and resistance in certain pockets of the planet. Yet, these women persist.

“In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, Variety presents its first International Women’s Impact Report.

“It is an outgrowth of our annual Women’s Impact Report, with a singularly global focus,” Variety said

Where is the link to US variety magazine to support your post?
That's how someone posted that Vogue mentioned Tiwa Savage and I went looking but nothing like that in Vogue magazine.

Nigerian Celebrities knows how to hype themselves with unexistent applaud in local or international magazines. I have learnt by close association with them that they sponsor publications about themselves or their properties with their hard earned money to make themselves look larger than life.
#fake life.

Itz her passionate philantrophy work dt put her out there. Like it did for angelina jolie and some hollywood actors. It gave her a voice, and she was in demand on the speaking circuit.

You dont become a UN ambassador or amnesty intl campaigner by just acting those horrible movies. Tonto dike seems to want to follow this path with her foundation but i dont think shes a convincing nor passionate speaker, so not really in demand.

You made a lot of sense.

I think I agree with you. Angelina Jolie is a magnificent actress though
