Omotola Ekeinde Names Chidi Mokeme as Her Top Actor: A Legendary Stamp of Approval

Nollywood royalty has spoken! Screen icon Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, popularly known as OmoSexy, has officially crowned Chidi Mokeme as her favorite actor, sending social media into a frenzy of “intentional” love.

In a sit-down with Pulse TV, the legendary actress was asked to name her top performer in the industry. Without missing a beat, she pointed to the Shanty Town star, sparking an immediate wave of celebration among fans of both veterans.

Reacting to the viral clip on his Instagram page, Chidi Mokeme—or Eze Nnunu, as he is fondly called—revealed that his DMs have been “flooded” by OmoSexy’s massive fanbase. The actor didn’t hold back his appreciation for the shout-out from one of the greatest to ever do it.

“All my O’Sexy fam have been flooding my DM with this clip. Thanks, fam. Love You @realomosexy. We Stay Intentional,” Mokeme shared.

This high praise from Omotola comes at a pivotal moment in Mokeme’s career. Many fans remember his emotional revelation about his battle with Bell’s Palsy, a condition that paralyzed a side of his face and forced him into a long hiatus. Doctors told him it was incurable, yet he defied the odds.

His 2022 return in Shanty Town wasn’t just a comeback; it was a takeover. By naming him her favorite, Omotola has validated his status as a “Game Changer” who can still out-perform the Gen Z era despite the hurdles he faced.

Gistlife notes that when a queen like Omotola speaks, the industry takes notes. Chidi Mokeme’s journey from a debilitating health crisis to being the “favorite” of a global icon is the ultimate Nollywood success story. It’s not just about acting; it’s about the “intentional” spirit of a survivor.
