Every year, Nollywood churns out some fresh, new talent, and some of the older ones decide to take a back seat. We don’t know what inspires this decision, we don’t know why they decided to keep their talent away from us, but they need to get their act together and return to the big screens ASAP.
Weruche Opia
Weruche came in and wowed the entire country with three films, and shortly after she dropped off Nollywood’s radar and went International. We know this means she’s technically still in the game, but she hasn’t been in a Nollywood production in over seven years, and that’s what matters to us. Weruche needs to come back to Nollywood one more time. We promise we’ll treat her right.
Nkiru Sylvanus
Atlanta Bridget Johnson might be trying to take the town crier spot from our queen, but it doesn’t mean we don’t need her back on our screens. Nkiru Sylvanus moved away from Nollywood to begin her political journey as the Special Assistant on Lagos Affairs to the former governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha. She might be in her political era, but we’re sure she can multitask and make her Nollywood comeback.
Blossom Chukwujekwu
We know “The Trade” was released last year, and “I Do Not Come To You By Chance” would be out once our queen gives the word, but we need Nollywood producers to come together and put our king in something before then.
Genevieve Nnaji
After the release of her 2018 record-breaking Lionheart, the queen of Nollywood, has gone under the radar, only coming out for events she deems important and the announcement of her new movie, “I Do Not Come To You By Chance.” We know it might be too much to ask her to actually speak to us, but can she grace our screens again? We’ll take anything, even a cameo.
Hanks Anuku
Now that Nollywood has fallen back in love with fight scenes and the action genre we think it’s time to bring Hanks Anuku back to our screens.
Zainab Balogun
We haven’t seen Zainab on our screens since 2021’s Charge & Bail – those Prime Video releases don’t exist in our world – and we can’t believe she’s decided to stay away from us for this long. Someone needs to bring her back and remind everyone of her talent.
