  3. can you guys please leave nigeria and nollywood out of this, you guys are always in one way or the other involving us, and when we get started you all begin to complain and insult us, you guys should concentrate on the ghanaian movie industry and leave us alone because i know where and what this will result into, please ghanacelebrities quit finding ways to infuse war of words, please i am begging you all because when it starts, i won’t hesitate to join to give my own piece of mind.

        • @flint, well since i shouldn’t call you dear i won’t, now you believe kekkli mentioned nigeria, you still haven’t told me what kekkli was impying since you seem to understand it better, yes kekkli mentioned nigeria,now what was kekkli trying to imply while mentioning nigeria, this is why i say you are dumb as a sheep, even a 5 years old child will understand the meaning of that comment, is either you are dumb or your are just foolishlly siding for your compatriot of which i believe you are doing the latter, how many nigerians do you think school in ghana, let me enlighten you, nigrians are everywhere, in uganda,kenya,tanzania,uk,us etc name them and they school in all these places,two to three of nigerian universities rank higher than the number one university in ghana according to the ranking of best african schools, you can google to find out, have you not seen americans school outside america when there is harvard,preston, etc or the british school outside britain when there is oxford and co in britain, look here, i am not forcing my point or opinion on you, you just decided to let it weigh down on you of which I AM LOVING IT BRAINLESS BABOON, and the only one here that is immature is you FOOL.

        • @flint, PUH-LEEEEEEEEASE…ur comments dnt weigh down on me…so u can go on to enjoy ur foolishness…BRAINLESS? i wouldn’t say dat if I were u considering dats exactly wat u r…ur whole continent are fools who leads pointless argument…more so i dnt even need to call u dumb cuz BRAINLESS sums it all up for u..even a sheep is ten tymes smarter than u…i’m glad u noticed dat nigerians are everywhere except their own countries where lack civility…maaaaan…dat university ranking u stated is indeed funny…u rank higher than one best school in ghana…but yet u still leave ur uncivilized country to come to mine to achieve better…DAMN…check Amazing love international school…over populated with stinking idiots like ur type…it’s quite funny because u didn’t do ur reseach very well…even if u check wikipedia, it doesn’t suggest dat rubbish u just said abt ranking…and under wat year were u checking…see dis is how u do research (http://www.webometrics.info/top100_continent.asp?cont=africa)…according to dis, KNUST tops 20 while University of Ghana tops 40 before Ilorin university follows as 55…central university follows 58 before obafemi and ibadan follows 61 and 63…and then university of jobs and lagos comes in before ashesi…and dat is da only university in ghana dat ur university tops…KNUST, Legon and central university gives a good indication strong our university are…ghana is small country…and if these three university can surpass most of ur universities in ur country, then it tells how dumb and slow u are…dis is getiing pathetic…UGH u make me laugh so hard i could pee on u…SHUT UR MOUTH…cuz at the end of the day, u still come to ghana for better opportunity than stay in ur jacked up and corrupt country….go read more books for ur reseach OK…..LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….SMFH

        • @lily you see when i call you a dumb and moron, i am practically right, people of different nationalities school in other countries other than their own country, i know of ghanaians who school in nigeria aswell, i have seen americans and the bristish school in nigeria and other african countries also, does that mean nigeria and africa have better schools than them,if anyone should go anywhere to better their opportunity, it is you ghanaians that would come to nigeria because you guys can barely feed yourselves,you are the one that should go read, make better research, and ofcourse find the appropriate date for your ranking, go to this link (http://www.4icu.org/topAfrica/) this is the current 2010 rankings, you will see that obafemi awolowo university 25th position and university of ibadan 32th position came before university of ghana 34th position, so you see i wasn’t exaggerating, the only thing getting pathetic here is your sense of social communication where you cannot have a common civil discussion without going gaga, well i can understand it all, you are just a fustrated scallywag.

FOOL will capital letters…dnt talk abt civility when u practically take everyone’s comment to the heart (U’RE SO MATURE AND CAN HOLD A CIVIL DISCUSSION…WOW…NOT…shut da fuck up…

      • @lily, look at you telling me i take comments to the heart while you are the one childlessly ranting about every comment like a cow being followed by flies, please don’t talk to me about civility because if we trace back all our comments here, you will find out that is your silly dumb ass that caused out at me first.Well i have explained to you of the nigerian presence in not just ghana but every part of the world just as you can see americans, bristish etc in every part of the world and aswell there are ghanaian in nigeria and every part of the world also. You just struck the truth on yourself by saying your own post was a 2008 list, mine is a 2010 and current list of which i did not make up the experts did, so just shut the fuck up and face reality,your people also come to my country for better opportunity aswell !!!FAT IDIOT!!!

  13. HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!! sigh….

    anyway Genny is my favorite, and i will give reasons. she is so diverse, she has done SO MANY different roles, and good at them too.
    Blood Sister (really put her on the map)
    Sharon Stone
    Formidable Force
    For Better or For Worse
    Girl’s Cot
    Games Women Play
    Ije
    Silent Scandals
    Beautiful Soul
    Dangerous Sisters
    God Loves Prostitutes
    Letter’s To A Stranger
    Warriors Heart
    My Idol
    Honey
    30 Days
    Darkes Night
    Rip Off
    He Lives in Me
    Promise Me Forever
    Break Up
    Power of Love
    Butterfly
    Mine Forever
    Private Sin
    Jealous Lovers
    Critical Decision
    Broken Tears/River of Tears

    those are only about 2/3 of her movies that ive watches. she’s BADD.
    and if you watch every movie they are all DIFFERENT roles and she did them well. some of these people aren’t that good (or maybe they are good) cause they keep doing the same thing over and over and dont show their versatility.

    for example: Mercy johnson could be better if she would stop doing the same 3 characters all the time. i think she has a lot more to offer than she is giving.

    for Ghana, ill go for Jackie. the rest need acting lessons.
    Jackie is good at what she does too, but she is boring and rather redundant. im so tired of seeing the same royality movies over and over and over again. this prince, princess stuff. although she did step outside of her box in “My Story” and “Perfect Picture.”
    Heart of Men was okay….not her best.
    maybe 4play might raise the bar for her.

    but ill go with the two in the picture: JACKIE AND GENNY! 😀

    Actors: Majid Michel, and there are other good ones too, but he is THE BEST.

  14. favorite actors of all tym ? u kidding me wit those two pictures ….. well ma fav is  BREW RIVERSON JNR.maan that man is great …. none of de new actors can be compared to him who says so ??? hahaha MARVELOUS  says so 

    Reply
  15. Stella domesoso is the best hands down her movies makes you laugh if it was meant to do so and make you cry if it was meant to do so, the girl can act. on the otherhand, Majid is the best actor in Ghana he can play any role given to him and play it well as for nigerian actors, i think there are many convising actors to name a few,Rams Noah, Mike Ezo…….,and this older actor who mostly plays “king” role.( please help me i have forgotten his name)

    Reply
  16. its Jackie all the way. cos i just love her voice so much, she is so eloquent and elegant, she is able to quickly interprete roles and act as though it was real,she is also able to make one comprehend a movie instantly by her forms of acting. indeed she is the best.

    Reply
  17. Genny hands down. no doubt she is just a raw talent. Ramsey Nouah he interprets anything like he has been through it and that is acting ppl

    Reply
  18. For the actress, i will go for Jackie Appiah any day anytime. Jackie is the definition of acting and beauty. She has contributed immensely towards the growth of Ghollywood and she is by far the most beautiful African actress. There is no movie of hers that is not worth watching.
    For the actor, i shall go for Majid and RMD. They sure know what acting is and always kickass in movies.

  20. My favourite between Ghollywood and Nollywood are: Eucharia Anunobi-Ekwu, Clarion Chukuwura, Chioma Chukwura, Liz Benson, Joke Silva, Rama Brew, Akorfa Ejeni Asiedu, Sheila Nortey, Grace Nortey, Pascaline Edwards, Edinam Atatsi, Richard Mofe-Dimajo (RMD), Zack Orji, Kanayo O Kanayo, Justice Esiri, Olu Jacobs, Pete Odochie, Brew Riverson Jnr., Victor Lutteriodt, David Dontoh (Kofi Abrantie), Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Stella Demasus, Ramsey Noah Jnr. Jim Iyke, Mike Ezurounye, Chidi Mokeme, Yemi Blaq, Jennifer Oliogu, Patience Ozorkwor, Bob Manuel, Kate Hanshaw Nuttal, Uche Jumbo, Dakore Egbuson, Muna Obikwie, Nana Ama Mcbrown, Adjetey Anang, Kalsum Sinare Baffour —————These are the most versatile actors I’ve ever seen on television. They make you forget you are watching a movie. These actors are simply the BEST!
    New actors are Chris Attoh, Majid Michel, Nonso Diobi, Mercy Johnson, Tonto Dikeh, Lydia Forson, Prince David Osei, John Dumelo ————–these actors has proven that they can go for any given challenge. Newest actor Senanu Gbedawo is definetly one to watch out for. He was pheunominal in Checkmate.

  25. its Genevieve and Nana Ama mcBrown..none can be compared to them wen it cums to acting…dey r just true actresses not these fake and wannabe ones..luv u two..

    Reply
  26. honestly speaking i hate when people compare these actress and actors together. everyone has his or her talent with in different movies so there are no reasons why we should continued to compare and contrast.every actress and actors grows as times goes by. besides are we forgetting that changes are constantly a part of life. in other for everyone to grow, they need changes so therefore these people are all going to change, whether the changes are bad or good. also my personal view about African movies is that certain actress and actors need to play the roles that fit them. example i don’t think certain women or men should play campus movies, i believe there are many teenagers or young adults that could play those roles. but all in all they all have their own talents and there will be changes as they grow.
