The Omalicha of NOLLYWOOD
There are Omalichas of Nollywood. And she is The Omalicha of the Omalichas of Nollywood and the most beautiful so far in the history of the Nigerian film industry since 1960 to date.
Who is she?
As I showed her gazing at the mirror in "Mirror, Mirror, Who is the Fairest of them All?".
I wrote about her beauty in the popular article published by Nigeria Film, Modern Ghana and my own TALK OF THE TOWN By Orikinla. And of course I included her among the 34 Beauty Queens of Nollywood and Kannywood in the second edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Series published in 2014.
The Beauty Queens of Nollywood and Kannywood should be a reality TV series on Netflix or Showmax and the series will attract millions of their fans and followers online and offline. I have identified more than 34 with the new beauty queens like Adesua Etomi- Wellington and sultry Sophie Alakija.
She has been the most beautiful since I have known her at the different locations for casting calls for auditions for new movies.
Year: 1996
Location: Idi Iroko bus stop
Ikorodu Road, Lagos, Nigeria .
Title of Movie: Cover Up
Ejike Asiegbu, Emeka Ike, Emeka Enyiocha, Segun Arinze, Adim Williams, Chyke Brian and Regina Askia later joined us for her role of the leading lady during the rehearsals.
Enebeli Elebuwa of blessed memory came around with Charly Boy on his power bike.
Then, the Omalicha was between 16 and 19. Emeka Enyiocha was often with her at the locations. And he was sitting beside her on this occasion.
She stood up and sashayed to me holding an orange in her right hand.
Without saying any word, she gave me the orange with glints in her beautiful brown eyes.
I accepted it with thanks and she returned to her seat as I admired her.
She was guided by her inner spirit.
She went on to become one the most famous actresses in Nollywood and she became the first Nigerian actor and actress to be named among The TIME 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2013 and named her "Queen of Nollywood" which I celebrated in the first edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRRORS® Series published in the same year and now a collector's edition.
If you are still wondering who?
Then you are a JJC in Nollywood.
She is The OMALICHA of NOLLYWOOD of the 50 Most Outstanding Women in Nollywood and the Nigerian Film Industry, including The ADAEZE of NOLLYWOOD, ADAORA of NOLLYWOOD, ADAUGO of NOLLYWOOD, ADAURE of NOLLYWOOD and ADABEKE of NOLLYWOOD to be profiled in the third edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Series.
It is a collector's edition in full colour on glossy paper printed in Raleigh, North Carolina,USA.
You can pre-order the hardcover version for only $50 (fifty dollars) including delivery by DHL or UPS.
The Omalicha inspired me to compose the following lyrics of my new song for one of prospective new Afrobeats singers I have discovered in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
Yes. I I am a very good lyricist as well as a first prize winning poet.
My song "Hardway To Broadway" was recorded in California was I was 18 and copyrighted with a copy in the Library of Congress, Washington DC, USA in 1984.
My second recording, "She Comes on Sundays": was produced in Lagos in 2003 and I had one hour interview with the broadcast of the song on the BBC Radio in April, 2003 heard by millions of listeners worldwide.
I am currently recording three new songs: "Your Majesty, Lord Almighty", "Omalicha" and the title of the third song is CLASSIFIED.
As Rema will say,. "Another Banger!"
My last stage performance was a live concert for the graduation ceremony of the Alliance Française in 2002 in Lagos. I sang my song, "Darego!" I composed to celebrate Darego for winning the Miss World beauty pageant in 2001. I was backed by one of the best rock guitarists in the world, "Son of Rock" Dabyna Abraham-Poll and his band. The girls were screaming with excitement in the mini theatre of the French Cultural Centre in Ikoyi, Lagos.
It was a romantic night to remember.
My live life is scripted by Almighty God And He said He wired me differently from others.
