Sola Sobowale
Sola Sobowale made her major comeback in 2016 when she got cast in The Wedding Party. Since then, she has been appearing in one blockbuster or the other establishing her legacy as a legend in her own right. Sola started her acting career in a time when Nollywood was still young and she got wide acclaim for her role as “Toyin Tomato” in the Super Story series. However, she didn’t stop there. Her recent performance in King Of Boys proves she is a dynamic actress and one who has the capability to tell a story through any character.
Patience Ozokwor
Perhaps the most endearing veteran actress to ever grace our TV screens, Patience Ozokwor created a brand for herself in the industry a long time ago. Popularly called Mama Gee and known for her “evil step-mother” roles, it is no surprise that she has enjoyed remarkable longevity and is still a sought-after actress in 2020. Asides from the recent movies she has been featured in, she also makes appearances in several television adverts for reputable brands. Patience Ozokwor’s relevance in the industry is undeniable.
Joke Silva
It is hardly possible to speak of Joke Silva and not also bring up her husband Olu Jacobs. The couple made their mark in the industry long ago and succeeded in projecting themselves as a refined pair. Despite many on-screen appearances with her husband Olu Jacobs, Joke Silva has made giant strides in the industry as an individual. In 2020, she is still a force to be reckoned with. Her recent roles in Nollywood blockbusters like Chief Daddy show she is not going anywhere anytime soon.
