Top 10 Most Powerful Women in Nollywood and the Nigerian Film Industry

Who are the top 10 most powerful women in Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry?

Do you know them?

The movers and shakers and the leading achievers in film production, distribution and exhibition.

They were twelve; two of them have passed on to eternal glory, but the milestones of their legacies have become testimonies of their outstanding achievements in the history of Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry.
I have already written on Mrs. Amaka Igwe, MFR that was  published in the Black Film Maker magazine in the UK in 2006. 
She was the numero uno of the women in Nollywood.
On 2 January 2020, Google celebrated her 57th birthday with a Google Doodle.
Mrs. Peace Anyiam-Osigwe, MFR has been celebrated locally and internationally and her Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) was the cover feature of the first edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Series in 2013 which has become a collector's edition by art collectors on Nollywood and the history of filmmaking in Nigeria. Madam Peace was the only filmmaker in Nollywood to become a TED Fellow.
(Please, if you know another one, let me know).
Both of them are profiled among the 40 Nigerian female filmmakers in the third edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Series to be released this year.

The top 10 Most Powerful Women in Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry, who are currently among the most active and accomplished leading achievers and stakeholders will be featured in the third edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Series.
One of them will be on the cover.
I will not reveal all the ten, because of those who will quickly copy the title and rush to publish the list and claim the credit for the authorship.

The following are the first top three.

Ms  Mo Abudu
Ms. Chioma Ude
Mrs. Stephanie Linus
