OMOTOLA ENDS THE YEAR 2012 AS THE HIGHEST EARNING NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS OF THE YEAR

 
         
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde continues to prove that there is more to her 
than her curve-ridden figure as she emerges biggest box-office actress 
of the year.
The actress was recently honoured in the UK as the first-ever African
 BEFFTA (Black Entertainment, Film, Fashion, Television and Arts) Film 
Icon for her contribution to the film industry in Africa, Europe and 
globally.
The year 2012 will be one in which the duo of Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde 
and film maker Obi Emelonye won’t forget in a hurry as the duo grabbed 
the headlines in spectacular fashion judging by the quality of the kind 
of jobs they both did.
The movie, Last Flight to Abuja produced and directed by award 
winning Obi Emelonye first grabbed the headlines when it reportedly sold
 more than 8million in its first week at the cinema!
Omotola’s popularity and box-office credibility was put to test when 
the movie, opened at the cinema. The premiere till date remains the 
biggest premiere of any movie with six packed halls, a record no 
premiere has beaten. Last Flight to Abuja also starred Hakeem Kae 
Kazeem, Jim Iyke, Jide Kosoko and others.
Last Flight to Abuja is still showing at the cinema and it has 
already grossed 24 million, thereby making it the highest box office 
earner this year! No other movie has come close to this record so far.
It would be recalled that the same movie director produced Mirror Boy a movie that made 18 million at the cinema..
The year 2012 has been incredible for super star, Omotola Jalade 
Ekeinde; from being the highest paid actress to being the busiest on 
locations of big budget movies, now famously called “the new Nollywood” 
Omosexy has had a full calendar and bag as well.
It will be recalled that the sexy superstar starred in the acclaimed 
Ties That Bind alongside Hollywood’s Kimberley Elise, Kofi Adjorlolo, 
ama K, Khareemar Aguiar among others..
Still in 2012 Omosexy as she’s fondly called played the leading role 
in the High budget Tarila Thompson’s movie ,”Up Creek “still in post 
production. She was also on call for Teco Benson’s film “Blood on the 
Lagoon” also in post production.
The multiple award winner thereafter went on to star in the movie 
AMINA alongside British actor Wil Johnson and Vincent Regan , a movie 
written, produced and directed by Christian Ashaiku, where she plays the
 character of a woman suffering from mental disorder. The movie recently
 premiered at the prestigious Empire Leicester square London to great 
reviews.
As icing on the cake the actress was recently Honored As the First 
ever African BEFFTA Film Icon for her contribution to the film industry 
in Africa, Europe and globally. BEFFTA (Black Entertainment Film Fashion
 Television and Arts) award is Europe’s biggest award ceremony 
celebrating achievements of black and ethnic personalities in showbiz 
globally.
