Check Out 2019 Sexiest Nollywood Actresses
Nollywood is undoubtedly the home of some of the most attractive female actresses. These damsels aren’t just good role interpreters, they are also beautiful and don’t hesitate to flaunt their sex appeal on social media.
In no particular order, take a look at the sexiest Nollywood acts with the ‘hottest’ pictures on social media in 2019
Mercy Aigbe
This fashionable role interpreter is one of the sexiest actresses in the industry. Even at almost 42 years old with two children, her numerous male fans still ogle her pictures whenever she posts them online, especially on Instagram. Months back, Aigbe shared a racy bikini picture of herself on Instagram and her 6.7 million followers couldn’t get enough of the sexiness of the photo. Amazingly, the picture had over 200,000 likes on Instagram
Anita Joseph
Anita Joseph is one damsel who knows she is hot and doesn’t hesitate to flaunt it. Back in 2018, she had said, “I am not only a snack; I am (a) full bakery.” Back in January, Joseph had got many talking when she uploaded a raunchy video of herself in a bathtub. The video attracted more than 18,000 likes on her Instagram page.
Moyo Lawal
Curvy screen diva, Moyo Lawal, is never out of circulation when it comes to entertaining her 973,000 followers on Instagram with her racy pictures . The actress has on several occasions slammed fans who perceive her as flirty because of her social media behaviour.
Her male fans will not forget in a hurry how she serenaded them with her raunchy pictures during her summer vacation in Dubai in July.
Daniella Okeke
If you are looking for the most endowed women in Nollywood, Daniella Okeke has to be on the list. Though the trendy role interpreter doesn’t appear in every movie, however she makes up for it with her attention-grabbing pictures on social media. An average Daniella Okeke picture on Instagram gets more than 5,000 likes.
Destiny Etiko
Back in September, the talented actress told Sunday PUNCH that she loves to wear clothes that accentuate her ‘killer’ curves. The Enugu State University of Science and Technology graduate is fond of posting captivating pictures of herself on Instagram.
Etiko also occasionally shares videos of herself dancing seductively for her 1.1million followers on Instagram.
Tonto Dikeh
Self-acclaimed ‘King Tonto’ is definitely not a rookie when it comes to grabbing her attention. As a matter of fact, the (former?) actress can be said to have perfected the art. Though Tonto has slowed down on her daring looks since she became a mother, she sure gave a number of people cause to salivate in the course of the year. Ever ready to flaunt her body, Dikeh who has been open about undergoing cosmetic surgery, still gets fans drooling at every turn.
Often accompanying her pictures with inspirational/scriptural quotes, they attract thousands of likes.
Biodun Okeowo
Biodun Okeowo, aka Omoborty, celebrated her birthdays ago and her colleagues and fans literally ‘shut down’ Instagram with different sexy pictures of the actress. With a body that has been qualified with many sensational adjectives, the Lagos State University graduate says God is responsible for her sexy shape. Though Okeowo doesn’t share sensual pictures so often, the ones shared on her Instagram page in 2019 garnered many comments from her male fans.
Nkechi Blessing Sunday
Call her one of the most talked about actresses of 2019 and you wouldn’t be wrong. NBS, as she favours to be called, doesn’t fail to flaunt her ‘gift of nature’ at every given opportunity.
Her Instagram page is littered with stimulating pictures. One of her most liked picture shared on Instagram earlier this month, had more than 19,000 likes.
Tayo Sobola
Fondly called Sotayo Gaga, this actress seems to have adopted ‘sexy’ as a second name. Fair-skinned and fashionable, Sobola knows the right outfits to accentuate her modest and well-positioned curves.
Her numerous fans constantly hail her as a ‘fashionista’ and she rarely disappoints. Her social media pictures consistently garner thousands of likes.
Ini Edo
Call her an ageless beauty and you may not be far off the mark. Ini Edo is as ‘hot’ as they come and she knows it. But she is very ‘systematic’ in ‘dishing’ out her sexiness to fans.
Very fashion conscious, Edo posts pictures of herself in several alluring poses and they get a lot of engagement on social media. With eight million followers on Instagram, her sexy pictures are often guzzled down like a plate of hot soup on a cold night.
Funke Akindele’s Behind The Scenes becomes Nollywood’s highest-grossing film of 2025, earning ?1.77bn in under four weeks.
Multi-award-winning actress and producer Funke Akindele has done it again, and this time, the numbers speak louder than applause.
Her latest film, Behind The Scenes, has officially emerged as the highest-grossing Nollywood film of 2025, pulling in an astonishing ?1.767 billion in less than four weeks.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Funke Akindele Makes Box Office History as Behind The Scenes Crosses ?1.77bn
Earlier in its release cycle, the film’s distributor, FilmOne Entertainment, revealed that Behind The Scenes smashed five opening-weekend records, including the highest single-day gross ever recorded on Boxing Day, with ?129.5 million in one day. That announcement already hinted that something unusual was unfolding.
Reacting to the milestone, FilmOne described the moment as both surreal and communal, crediting audience loyalty for pushing the film to the top spot once again as the number-one movie of the weekend. And that sentiment feels accurate. This wasn’t just ticket sales; it was momentum.
What makes this achievement even more striking is that Behind The Scenes is Funke Akindele’s third film to cross the ?1 billion mark. Before now, there was A Tribe Called Judah, and then Everybody Loves Jenifa, a film that didn’t just open big, but went on to become the highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time. At this point, it’s no longer a fluke. It’s a pattern.
Part of Behind The Scenes’ success lies in strategy. The film enjoyed advanced screenings on December 10 and 11, quietly building curiosity and conversation before its nationwide release on December 12. By the time it officially hit cinemas, audiences already felt like they needed to see it.
Then there’s the cast. The film brings together a lineup that feels deliberately stacked: Scarlet Gomez, Iyabo Ojo, Destiny Etiko, Tobi Bakre, Uche Montana, and several others. Familiar faces, strong fan bases, and performances that kept word-of-mouth alive long after opening weekend.
Still, beyond timing and casting, there’s something else at work here. Funke Akindele understands Nigerian audiences. Their humour, their pacing, their emotional buttons. She doesn’t guess, she calculates, experiments, listens, and refines. That understanding has slowly turned into box-office dominance.
Behind The Scenes crossing ?1.77 billion isn’t just another headline; it’s confirmation. Funke Akindele has moved from being a successful actress to becoming one of the most reliable commercial forces Nollywood has ever produced. Three-billion-naira films don’t happen by luck. They happen when storytelling, business sense, and audience trust align.
And right now, that alignment seems firmly in her hands.
Popular Nigerian music stars, Adekunle Kosoko, widely known as Adekunle Gold, and his wife, Simi, have become parents again this time to twins.
The award-winning singer shared the joyful update on his Snapchat story on Wednesday, confirming the expansion of their family.
“Asked God for another child and he blessed me double,” she wrote.
While the couple has not yet disclosed the gender of the newborns, the announcement has sparked an outpouring of warm wishes from admirers, fellow celebrities, and industry colleagues.
Speculation had intensified in December when Simi posted a video on Instagram accompanied by the caption, “From my baby, for my babies.”
The clip showed her with a growing baby bump, fueling anticipation that another child was on the way.
Their latest blessings arrive just weeks after Simi highlighted a scene from Adekunle Gold’s newly released music video, “My Love is the Same,” further stirring excitement among fans.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Adekunle Gold and Simi who tied the knot in 2019 after a long history of friendship and musical synergy remain one of Nigeria’s most admired entertainment power couples. Both artistes were once signed to X3M Music before soaring into mainstream acclaim.
The pair welcomed their first child, Adejare Kosoko, fondly called Deja, in May 2020.
After closing out 2025 with the release of “Praise the Lord” featuring Magnito, Jesse Flames enters the new year with renewed clarity and purpose, continuing to build a body of work rooted in intention rather than noise. In a moment where Afrobeats is moving faster and louder than ever, his approach remains measured and deliberate, prioritizing meaning, craft, and longevity over momentary attention. The official music video arrives January 10.
Following the momentum of his breakout single “FLEX,” “Praise the Lord” represents a shift from celebration to grounding. Reflective and soulful, the record centers gratitude, growth, and perspective, capturing a quieter confidence that resonates beyond a single moment.
“This song is about recognizing the full picture,” Jesse shares. “The work people see and the work they don’t. The lessons, the setbacks, the growth.”
The collaboration with Magnito, a respected voice in Nigerian hip hop known for his sharp lyricism and cultural authenticity, adds depth and weight to the record, reinforcing its themes of resilience, faith, and self reflection.
Released in December at the height of Detty December, “Praise the Lord” became a natural soundtrack for both celebration and reflection as the year came to a close. With the video arriving in January, the record takes on new meaning, opening the year as a tone setter rather than a reset.
Born in the United States, raised in Festac, Lagos, and now based in London, Jesse Flames brings a global perspective to his sound, blending Afrobeats, hip hop, and melodic soul into something sleek and intentional. His music reflects lived experience and cultural nuance rather than trend chasing.
The Tide Entertainment reports that with over 11 million streams, performances at O2 Brixton Academy and OVO Arena Wembley, and coverage from The Guardian and Business Post Nigeria, Jesse’s rise has been steady and self made. Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027, he is preparing for collaborations with Ice Prince, M.I Abaga, and Smurlee.
“Praise the Lord” ft. Magnito is available now on all streaming platforms.
