2. Funke Akindele:
Funke is a household name that is highly rated in the Nollywood industry not just for her fantastic talent, amazing audience pull or commendable role interpretation ability, but also for being a melanin beauty.
Her skin colour, texture and glow have set Funke Akindele apart from the rest, and her smile is definitely a sight to behold. The fact that she is a Yoruba actress who speaks the English Language fluently also adds to her appeal and acceptance in the Nollywood industry.
The producer and scriptwriter was born on the 24th of December 1976, and her “Jenifa” projects are currently one of the highest-selling in the history of Nigeria. In summary, Funke Akindele is known to be one of the most successful products of Nollywood, and she surely has one of the finest faces we have come to appreciate as well.
3. Rita Dominic:
How do you do a list of beautiful Nollywood actresses and exclude the ever shinning Rita Dominic? This talented actress is certainly one of the most attractive Nollywood stars with superb skin and an amazing body structure.
The fact that she is blessed with stunning white teeth and glowing light skin surely add to her beauty, and we really cannot blame the men that kept crushing on her for so many years before she recently decided to settle down with one man.
Rita Dominic has been a Nollywood brand for several years, and she is surely one of the most successful actresses yet with a commendable net worth. The “76” actor will not be forgotten for a while because her talent and beauty are major factors that will help her keep her large fan base glued for a very long time.
4. Fathia Williams:
Another beautiful Nollywood actress is Fathia Williams, and she had to make the list as well despite featuring majorly under the Yoruba umbrella of Nollywood. Fathia has been a capturer of hearts with her beauty for years, and she kept the attention of several men on her after divorcing popular movie actor and producer, Saidi Balogun, as many of the opposite gender felt they was still hope with their favourite actress.
Fathia Williams is one of the most successful Yoruba actresses with several awards to her name, and her name is one of the few you will remember when you list out the main heavyweights who have contributed to the growth and development of the Yoruba movie industry and Nollywood at large.
Despite already establishing herself as a veteran in Nollywood, this Muslim actress still looks really young and beautiful, and it makes one wonder if she is ageing backwards. If that is indeed the case, no one will be surprised, because it is the only explanation for Fathia staying gorgeous on our TV screens after so many years.
5. Mercy Johnson:
Mercy Johnson single-handedly held grown men to ransom with the naughty roles she used to be famous for in Nollywood movies. The stunning actress, who is now married and less audacious, was so captivating on screen that movie lovers simply wanted to see her in every single scene.
Mercy is from Kogi State, Nigeria and she has also been around for several years to disturb Nigerians with her irresistible body and beauty. Her face stole the show to the point of being on several advert boards across the country and most of her male fans actually wept when news spread that she was getting married.
Her stunning skin, face, smile, seduction, and glam could simply not be ignored in several films and this made many appreciate her acting talent more since the blend was so appealing. Mercy definitely took a step back when she settled down with her pilot husband, but she is presently working on a movie project titled “Professor Johnbull,” which is sponsored by Glo, one of the leading telecommunication industries in Nigeria.
Mercy Johnson is a big woman now who has investments in lots of businesses while taking care of her husband and 2 children.
6. Ini Edo:
I don’t have to tell you how beautiful Ini Edo is. This Nollywood actress, producer and entrepreneur is the definition of beauty and talent, and she has appeared in over 100 Nigerian movies since her film career started in the year 2000.
Ini Edo was born on April 23, 1982, in Akwa Ibom State and she is the second of a family with four children. Her dad was an elder in the church while her mother was a teacher, but Ini chose Nollywood as a career path despite her very strict upbringing. She is currently one of the richest and highest-paid actresses in the country, and she is undoubtedly one of the first names you’ll call for any list of trendsetters in the history of Nollywood.
Ini attended Cornelius Connely College, Uyo before moving on to the University of Uyo, where she graduated with a Diploma in Theatre Arts. After that schooling experience, the movie star went to the University of Calabar for a Bachelor’s Degree in English. In 2014, the actress got a scholarship to study Law at the National Open University of Nigeria.
She appeared in a movie titled “Thick Madam,” in 2003, and in 2004, but her fame grew massively when she featured in a very successful Nollywood movie titled “World Apart,” alongside Kenneth Okonkwo and veteran actress, Liz Benson. Ini Edo has since conquered the movie industry and she even got appointed The Special Assistant to the Akwa Ibom State Governor on Culture And Tourism, by Udom Gabriel Emmanuel in 2016, an office she still holds to date.
7. Omotola Ekeinde Jolade:
Another Nollywood that kept us glued to her beauty, class and style is Omotola Jolade Ekeinde. This movie icon has been very successful in the movie industry for more than a decade, and she does not have her acting talent alone to thank for it, her hotness, facial appeal and skin also played major roles.
Omotola has since earned a lot of awards for her efforts in the Nigerian movie industry and she has remained the ideal role model for several youths in the country. Many years from now, we will remember Omotola Ekeinde Jolade to be a legend who did not just steal our hearts with her amazing role interpretations and talents, but also as the diva whose beauty made us believe in the awesomeness of Nigerian women.
8. Daniella Okeke:
Daniella is a young and beautiful Nollywood actress who has featured in enough Nollywood movies to remind us of why she deserves to be part of a list like this. When it comes to having the kind of body to turn heads, the kind of smile to melt hearts and the kind of face to draw attention, Daniella Okeke is blessed in all departments.
She might not be as famous as the stunning actresses above, but her beauty can be compared favourably with those screen goddesses. Over the years, Okeke has, however, proven to be one who does not want to rely on just her looks alone to make it in the Nollywood industry, and this is the reason why she keeps displaying the kind of acting talent that makes movie lovers want to pay attention the more.
If she continues on this path, we expect Daniella Okeke to grow enough to be a household name for many years to come.
9. Genevieve Nnaji:
If we are talking about natural and flawless beauty, Genevieve Nnaji epitomizes it. She is not just one of the richest actresses that Nigerians cannot stop loving, adoring and respecting, she also has one of the most beautiful faces to ever grace the Nollywood screen.
Her glow, melanin skin, facial appeal, and perfect body have been the talk on many lips since she made her Nollywood debut, and it is still a topic of discussion after many years. The confidence this attention gave her led to her branching into singing and fashion designing, corporate investments at some point, because Genevieve definitely had that beauty grace to have it all.
Nnaji has since grown to become a well-respected celebrity as far as Nollywood is concerned, and we still want her around for as long as possible because we cannot afford to miss that face even for one minute.
