Africa's finest actors all in one photograph!

 
From left: Jim Iyke, Nonso Diobi, Mike Ezuronye, Ramsey Noah, Van Vicker and Desmond Elliot. 

I would have written 'who would you 'hit'? but some of them are married and I'm sure their wives won't appreciate the question :-).  Fine men!

BTW, it's Desmond Elliot's birthday today. Happy birthday to him!

    They are all razz and fat! The only one who manages to look decent sometimes and who obviously takes care of his body is Ramsey N. The rest need to cut down on their consumption of eba, mountain of rice and beef, alcohol, orange juice, pounded yam etc. Yes, and do a total wardrobe and speech/diction makeover.

  14. #Amara thanks for Letting us know you are in Australia and you have met one of them. Now we know your claim to glory.

    #lucabracee harsh comments but I agree they could have put on a more dignified pose but come on cut them some slack. Our entertainment industry has developed in leaps and bounds and we are getting there gradually

    ReplyDelete
  29. Okay...this just made me depressed.

    These guys are supposed to be our escape from reality, the ones we could never have but totally dream about. basically they are supposed to be our fantasies.

    For example Blair Underwood, Shemar Moore,Djimon Hounsou, Matt Damon, Michael Fassbender,Ian Somerhalder. Who wouldn't want these men? I love dreaming about these men. Why? cos they are hot. period.

    Jim Iyke, Nonso Diobi, Mike Ezuronye, Ramsey Noah, Van Vicker and Desmond Elliot *facepalm*, are not hot. I can't look at them and not feel sad. None of them have a six pack, ok? It is their job to have a six pack or something remotely close to it! who wants to look at expanded faces and beer bellies

    I can't face reality all day and then come back home, try to watch a romantic Nollywood film to escape for a while and then unceremoniously get reality thrusted back in my face.

  32. It is very easy to criticize,if any of them were your brother,wouldn't you be proud of him.Those writing rubbish about these established acts,should wait till they have their own kids and see what they'll look like.Non sense.I am proud of them joor.

  34. Thank you for answering the person who is comparing them to denzel!this people are max 15years and denzel etc have been there forever!i love my african men,married or otherwise.you all rock and i would hit on most of you if i wasnt already married and most likely older than you all.i do have a little weakness for RN though!wink...

  36. lucabracee..i bet u re dieing to get one of them...david beckham with his yellow teeth cannot be compare to these guys ...and pls forget about denzel washington ...they all had the oppotuniies hese guys country couldnt provide but they strife their way up !so they should be commended for that..what u see is all natural,natural sets of bodies no surgery or pills,and no bleached teethlike ur beckham and no socks to package the manhood like the beckhams and co..pls give them some love if u are not an enemy of progress..love all of them.and b4 i forget they re doing brilliantly..and beautiful ,natural faces

  37. Raz and certainly won't touch it with a barge pole talk less of hitting it. Get dress sense from RMD.

    ReplyDelete
  38. You can't honestly say that these are "Africa's finest Actors". How many non-Nigerian productions have you seen? If yousay nigeria'sfinest it would make sense, as you can't even claim thattheyrethe hottest in WEST Africa.

  48. Wow, hatred is in the African blood. It's truly sad that we can't be happy for each other.

    They look good and happy in those pics. When men are close, don't immediately think Gay, that's an American thing.

    Abeg, carry go jor. Happy birthday, Desmond.

    ReplyDelete
  71. no offense you must mean fine as in their acting skills, even though mike,ramsey and van vicker are cute, the other three nnonso, desmond and jim, they seriously needs to lose weight. Unfortunately for their face shape and features they look better skinner.They should take a lesson from ramssey, with age he seasoned and looks better than he did in his youth. Jim needs to fix his teeth, and yeah, but i think if they were being considered as fine pat attoh and john dumelo, plus countless other fine actors in both movie industry lik o.c ukeje and others that beat most of these guys in looks hands downn.

    ReplyDelete

  91. They are all razz and fat! The only one who manages to look decent sometimes and who obviously takes care of his body is Ramsey N. The rest need to cut down on their consumption of eba, mountain of rice and beef, alcohol, orange juice, pounded yam etc. Yes, and do a total wardrobe and speech/diction makeover.

    -I concur. The speech is my biggest problem as for who I would let hit... Van Vicker, who is the worst actor of the lot but has me watching his movies when they are on by default. Can't name anything he has starred in sha.

  93. I love the picture! It's a nice, spontaneous picture taken in the moment. They look happy, like they are having a good time. See, this is what I love about dudes, they do their job and have fun without none of the rivalries all the women seem to have in the business. Except for the one fight between Jim Iyke and Emeka Ike, you never hear any of them hating on each other unlike the women. Genevieve no like Omotola, Tonto Dikeh dey fight with Mercy Johnson, Rita Dominic wants to strangle Ini Edo...ridiculous!



    Now breaking it down...


    I don't know why Nonso Diobi is in the picture because if one mentions Nigeria's finest actors as in experts in the craft of acting, I will NOT be placing Nonso in that group. He is a mediocre actor who screams through all his lines, he has been giving the same monotonous performance from his first screen appearance until today. I have NOT seen an improvement in his work unlike Jim Iyke who has grown in leaps and bounds since One Dollar. Give me Muna Obiekwe or U.C anyday for a supporting actor than this guy who must apparently be undirectable IF he giving the same standard performance with each role.

    Desmond does need to lose weight desperately! Yes, brother you are making a good living directing and producing but please, take your health into consideration if not for yourself then for your wife and kids. I am glad to see that he is expanding his territory, there is room for improvement with his directing but he is doing it and I say BRAVO!

    Van Vicker like Nonso Diobi does not belong in a picture about who knows their craft assuming that is what Linda meant with her title. He is very HANDSOME, sweet and humble but he is just eye candy for the camera. He cannot act to save his life! He should stick to modeling, leave the producing, writing, directing and acting alone! I do LOVE that he is has a great family life. He is very respectful of his wife and I truly admire him for it.


    Ramsey is always good except for that useless accent of no particular origin he keeps employing whether he is playing village prince or town pauper. It ruins him every single time! He needs to quit that mess and talk like the Nigerian that he is! He and Stephanie Okereke are heavily guilty of this embarassing ploy to sound "abroad" no matter what the character call for. Rita Dominic and Dakore Egbuson (when she was acting) do/did the same thing but at least they can actually claim to have lived in London for a little bit of time and so their pseudo-Britico is legit. Ramsey has never lived in London, doesn't live in America so where did the accent come from?


    Jim Iyke - has just grown so very much as I mentioned earlier but his attitude takes aways from his skills. If he fixes his arrogant attitude, he would do even better.

    Mike Ezerounye has just come from the back to really bring it! He is always fun to watch because he is dedicated to his part and one can see that he loves his job.
