Nollywood has seen a number of fresh and new faces over the years each with their own special touch to bring to the screen. Here, we spotlight on some top Nollywood actresses to keep your eyes peeled for.
Zainab Balogun
As one of the lead actors in Nollywood’s most anticipated movie of the year, ‘The Royal Hibiscus Hotel,’ Zainab has established herself as one of Nollywood’s most talented. Although a fresh face on the big screen, her appearance previously in ‘The Wedding Party’ earned her great reviews and by the looks of it, she’s here to stay.
Adunni Ade
Ade has appeared in a number of Nollywood movies including ‘So in Love’ and ‘What’s Within.’ She started out modeling in the United States before coming to Nigeria and accepting standout roles in EbonyLife TV’s ‘Sons of the Caliphate.’ We expect to see more of her.
Bimbo Ademoye
This promising actress has been blessing our screens for some time now. Ademoye has featured in quite a number of movies on Iroko TV such as ‘The Backup Wife’ and ‘Diary of a Crazy Nigerian Woman.’ Some have even gone as far as calling her the new Omotola but time will tell on whether she truly deserves such a nod.
Adesua Etomi
Adesua’s career took off before we knew it and she has been trail blazing ever since. Her most popular role is as Dunmi Coker in the blockbuster movie ‘The Wedding Party’ and also has many other notable works to her name. Adesua has been able to establish herself as a household name in only a few years.

Beverly Naya
The British-born actress has since shown how promising she is back when she stunned British audiences with her performances before she came to the spotlight in the Nollywood with the movie, ‘Living in Exile.’ Since then she has only further proven how outstanding she is on screen.
Damilola Adegbite
Winning the category of Best Actress in TV Series back in 2011 for her role as Thelma Duke in ‘Tinsel,’ Damilola progressed onto the big screen with roles in films like ‘Flower Girl’ and ‘Banana Island Ghost.’ Her career has only blossomed ever since.
Omowunmi Dada
Rewind to when she starred in ‘Jemeji,’ Omowunmi has gone on to feature in a number of other movies all in which she has dazzled. Being an absolute delight to watch, her steady rise to stardom is well on its way.
Kemi Stone
Kemi’s acting career took off back in 2007 when she joined Wale Adenuga’s Pencil Film Institute to study acting. After getting acquainted with a few people, she was invited to several movie auditions and the rest as they say is history. Since then, she has appeared in movies alongside the likes of Mercy Aigbe and KuleAfolayan.
