    1. Linda Ikeji, when they says "most Influential" they are not talking about how many parties u attend or how many IG photos u posted.
      Now tell me, what have Genevieve and Omotola done in 2014 ( work-wise) other em attend high class parties, weddings and post photos on IG.
      Uche Jombo on tha other hand have been working non stop, she have produce more em 10 movies this year alone, she was still working non stop while pregnant.
      Blessing Effiong and Emem Isong also on the list, they are being notice because of there work, Emem is one of the best female producer in Africa.
      So Linda being Influential is all about ur work ok, I'm a Genevieve fan and honesty Genny has done nothing lately.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Linda it is about who has been consistent in the past 3yrs or so with movies. Your Omotola and Genevieve, when was the last time they acted in a movie that did so well in the box office and was well received with the audience? It's only in Nigeria that people are still viewed as top when they haven't been consistent. It doesn't happen in Hollywood, you're only as good as your last job is the saying in Hollywood and that is how it should be. Linda thank me for learning this today and I still love you!

    ReplyDelete

  38. I beg,Genevieve is the most influential woman in nollywood.Genny rules,reigns and rocks.She is simply the best.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  50. For me it should be Genny, Rita, Mercy J as top 3! Leave all that "paid for hyping/pr" Omotola does pls. we know it and we're not buying, thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Nah....Genevieve Nnaji & Omotola are the most influential

    ReplyDelete
  57. i agree 100percent.....uche is a pure actress and she knows her skills....how many skills does genny have....she isnt an actress to me at all.............i would have preferred my dearest mercy johnson at d top of d list

    ReplyDelete
  58. well for UCHE to be 1st, she must ve affected lives in many was. Genevieve & Omotala re good but they shouldn't be mentioned always

    ReplyDelete
  59. Uche Jumbo has produced a lot of movies, hired a lot of hands. Helped to make a lot of new talents stand on their feet in nollywood, as an actress she has been consistent?..how much of this have the others done? Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Omotola and Genny be making guy and not getting into character anymore in their movies. Rita, Uche, Mercy have been pushing the bar of late with their recent roles in movies so they should be top 3 mbok

    ReplyDelete
  61. Well when was the last time yall saw omotola and gene in films? Who is blessing? What abt funke a akindele? Stupid list

    ReplyDelete
  62. Pipifierce which kain yeye list be that top 5 mgbo?? It should be Genny, Omotola, Rita, Mercy J and Nse

  65. I'm 50-50 with the list, he is kinda right to some extent.

    ReplyDelete
  66. The compiler was writing with his anus!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Omosexy is the most influential! The Icampus just nailed its own coffin...better luck next time,what a bad way to break into d limelight wit controversy.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Uche should top it. I think she was involved in a lot of best productions of Nollywood the past 5 years while Omotola and Genevieve barely act anymore...

    ReplyDelete
  69. I agree totally! Uche has not only succeed as an actress of high repute but also a producer of many films, an amazing script writer, believable actor. How many in this category have produced more than 4 films except for Emen Isong? I think this is the reason they think she is deserving of the spot and guess what? I absolutely AGREE!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Scheissen in mr Samuel's opinion....in my own opinion Stephanie Linus shouldn't be number 11, chaii

    ReplyDelete
  71. genevive is definately first...omotola 2nd or something. i dont care about the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Mumu list. Its genny, omosexy, ini my darling sista and Mercy! Chikinah.

    ReplyDelete
  73. The list say's 'MUST INFLUENTIAL WOMEN', women with high connection not popular/pretty faces as LIBERS perceived

    ReplyDelete
  74. well, err'one is entitled to his/her opinion. whatever happened to joke silver, patience ozorkwor?

    ReplyDelete
  75. lol they said most influential not best actress.... Reason it

    ReplyDelete
  76. SAMUEL OLATUNJI IS EITHER ON CRACK OR IS SEEKING ATTENTION FOR HIS MAGAZINE! DOES HE KNOW THE MEANING OF INFLUENTIAL ? THE ONLY PERSON IN NOLLYWOOD WHO CAN INFLUENCE ANYTHING AND ANYONE BE IT IN ENTERTAINMENT, POLITICS , OPINIONS AND RESPECT IS. OMOTOLA. AFTER THAT LADY WITH A LONG POLE GENEVIEVE. IN FASHION ISSUES and MAYBE ENTERTAINMENT. BEFORE YOU START CALLING PEOPLE LIKE STEPHANIE, RITA DOMNIC, IBINABO, KATE HENSAW , EVEN TONTO DIKE HAS MORE INFLUENCE THAN MERCY JOHNSON AND INI EDO !!! SMH ...

    ReplyDelete

    Well, this is the figment of the person's imagination

    ReplyDelete
  80. Genevieve Nnaji she's the very lady i believe there is a mixed up on that list so please go and review it before people start thinking you have memory lost when complling that list

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  84. Tayo big brother16 October 2014 at 18:35

    Omotola, Rita, Genevieve are most influential pls! These three women single handedly influenced pop culture etc in entertainment whether you agree or not, it's a fact!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Anonymous 4:12 sorry but you're wrong! It is Genevieve, Omotola, Rita, Ini, Mercy, Tonto, Stephanie, Joke Silva, Nse and the rest can follow

    ReplyDelete
  86. Some of you are so RETARTED yo ! Influential ... Not working actress. Angelina Jolie does not wok as often as scarlet johannson . Dies that make scarlet as INFLUENTIAL in the world as Angelina Jolie? Not to talk of more than her? Who can Uche Jombo influence to listen to her in lagos how much more Nigeria or Africa sef? Is she making more movies than Rukky Sanda? I'm sure even she is embarrassed by this list and feels unnecessarily exposed.
    Lack of education is a major problem in africa!
    Omotola remains the MOST INFLUENTIAL FEMALE ARTISTE OUT OF NIGERIA AND PERHAPS AFRICA.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I concur with the list, Uche jombo has been producing wonderful movies these past years, while omotola and genny are attending events and forming paparazzi

    ReplyDelete
  88. Omotala ,Gen Nnaji,Stephine , wht they do recently is magazine and show. As for me is d past glory is wht ther are receiving . children of dis days didn't knw them, d actress ther knw now is mj,tonto , uche, ini edo, etc. Uche is activ both in acting and writing films,if we can tell our self d truth. We missd d old actresses vry well.

  90. The list says in Nollywood. .I'm sure that means who can give work. .A young actress on set today told me uche jombo just cast her in a film as lead without even being in the country right now.that's power people it's a nollywood list deal with it. It didn't say the most influential actress in Nigeria but in Nollywood. To a working actress or actor uche jombo is the power house.congrats Aunty uche young nollywood thank you every fucking day.I wish more can be like you

    ReplyDelete
  91. Sam is not uche's publicist but mercy Johnson's I know he works for her movie promotions for cinema you people are here fighting when real nollywood people know the list is real I think emem should be up in that list not down there

    ReplyDelete
  92. That you post a comment does not make it a fact. It might be your opinion, and nobody gonna whoop your ass for ranting. The list is a little bit off from the fact. My problem with the list is Ini's name. I did not notice anybody whose life she influenced positively. Uche and Emem have been working their ass off for the last two years ok? You can only be regarded as influencial when you help create jobs opportunities for people. Linda Ikeji is influential with her give away price. Last year people benefited from that and help some students back to school. That is what influencing lives positive means.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I'm sure if Emem Isong was an actress she will be the number 1 so I guess uche jombo is close enough for the number 1 .i am sure too this list is not about outside of nollywood and it's somehow about good film making and investing in nollywood, giving new actors jobs, creating work for crew members not just acting in a movie or getting paparazzi to work.God I miss omotola and Genny as actresses thank God for Rita who is also on this list and has started investing back in nollywood we need more great actresses film makers Omoni welcome.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Genevieve is the most influential actress.this is the list thus,1,GENEVIEVE, 2 GENEVIEVE 3 GENEVIEVE 4,GENEVIEVE 5,GENEVIEVE 6,Emem isong 7,Stephinie okereke 8,omotola 9 mercy johnson 10 rita dominic.

  97. unknown magazine....useless ranking

    ReplyDelete
  98. The world has gone crazy, I sit back and read your comments and I wonder, whose business is it about who tops the list. The media feeds you with stuff to talk about and you keep commenting, time after time. Sadly, your comments are bereft of intelligence. There are more burning issues in your country with regards to security, unemployment and all, and you cant make comments on that. I see this as a proof of the level of unemployment in Nigeria

  100. Fellow Nigerian we discovered that the publisher and the magazine itself are both sick in their head
    it is obvious that this magazine is out to confuse ,to lie and to mislead people .
    we therefore closed
    it down with immediate effect

    the only influential world wide among them is
    our GCON MNS FON ABCD LLMNS OMOT OMOSEXY OMO TO PRECIUS OMOTOLA
    ANY OTHER NAMES THERE IS BABARIC embarrassing un acceptable
    nonsense .idiotic and fake magazine .

  101. D award is not
    MOST HARDWORKING FEMALE IN NOLLYWOOD
    It takes INFLUENCE to be invited to the so called high class parties and events. BEING influencial is not built in 1year of hard work and producing movies its years of work.
    Take for example jayz ,P.diddy & dr dre p.diddy most especially might have not released an album or hit song of late but if there's anyone in d music industry who has obama's private number and d private numbers of american senators it would be them. This guys walk thru d white house. Their parties command American senators and past presidents to attend... uche might be the woman of the moment. But if there's anyone who can walk thru aso rock without being searched its GENE or Omo sexy.. or rather if there's anyone who has Oprah's number on her call log it would be GENEVIEVE.. that is INFLUENCE. Just passing by though lol
