Way Before Afrobeats, We Introduced Nigerian Entertainment To The World – Omotola [Video]

Veteran actress, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde said Nollywood played a significant role in introducing Nigerian entertainment to the world prior to the rise of Afrobeats.

The actress, who has a career spanning over two decades, disclosed this on her Instagram page where she shared videos from several noteworthy movies, including “Yankee Girls,” “Games Women Play,” “Blood Sisters,” “All My Life,” and “Kosorogun.”

The mother of four said someone sent her the videos which featured other renowned movie stars like Rita Dominic, Genevieve Nnaji, and Stella Damasus, stressing that she couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

She acknowledged that despite the modest production quality and the absence of social media at the time, these movies broke barriers and paved the way for Nigerian entertainment on a global scale.

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde wrote: “Someone sent me some of these vids and it was nostalgic, lol. Despite the not-so-great quality, No social media, these movies Broke barriers.

“Way Before Afrobeats We introduced Nigerian Entertainment to the World. We took on the World. we still. Name the Movies you know. Lol.”
