Today, we are going into the world of Nollywood and looking at the people who are making things happen in the industry: movie producers. Nollywood keeps producing talents who have gone the extra mile to differentiate themselves. Today is not about the actors and actresses you scream about and adore. We are shinning the torch on the people behind the shine of many Nollywood celebrities.

1. Emem Isong
The first person of producers on our list is no other person than the stunning Emem Isong. A talented Akwa Ibom. In 1994, she co-produced the movie “Jezebel”. Thereafter, she produced her first solo movie “Breaking Point” in 1996.

2. Tope Oshin
Of a truth, Tope Oshin has paid her dues and she deserves all the accolades coming her way. She was listed as one of the most influential Nigerians in film in 2019. It will interest you to know that Tope Oshin is the brain behind some of the highest box office breaking movies in Nigeria. To mention a few, she is the producer of the highly acclaimed ‘Fifty’ and ‘The Wedding Party 2’.

3. Kunle Afolayan
Kunle Afolayan is another major player among movie producers in Nigeria. It is safe to say that Kunle learned well from his late father ‘Ade Love’ who was equally a great movie producer in his lifetime. Amongst all, Kunle Afolayan is the producer of ‘The Figurine’, ‘Phone Swap‘, ‘Irapada’, ‘October 1‘, ‘The C.E.O’, ‘Omugwo’, ‘ROTI’, ‘The Tribunal’, and the most recent – ‘Mokalik’.

5. Kemi Adetiba
Kemi Adetiba is also one of the well-known movie producers in Nigeria. In truth, Kemi’s movies speak for themselves. You will agree with me that there is a ‘Kemi’s touch’ on all her productions that makes them stand out.
