You also forgot to name

Nkem Owoh aka Osuofia

Aki and Paw Paw

Queen Nwokoye aka Ada Mbaise

Rachel Okonkwo aka Nkoli Nwa Nsukka

Though i get the point that you're Yorucentric and probably don't know some of these people.

He also didn't mention Chief Zebrudaya- Chika Okpala. Forgive OP as the list is endless and one can't possibly mention all

Receive brain.

The Op only wrote those he/she knew.
Don't try to hate on the mention of mostly Yoruba artistes cos na dem plenty pass!
Moreover the Op listed none Yoruba artistes too.
Read the fact below:
Those you also listed doesn't really use their nicknames. If Omotola is Omosexy & Tonto is Pokobaby. What's tje nickname of Genevieve, Kate Henshaw,.
Emeka Ike, Ramsey Nuoah & Ezuruoye?
Your post is baseless!

Plenty pass indeed. Anybody who can speak yoruba can be featured in yoruba films.
So, they have lots of wack actors/actresses. Some don't even speak English, those who do, are not fluent.
