ATLANTA - April 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Nollywood superstar actress, musician and philanthropist, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde gains the coveted position in the most respected and anticipated list of the year, the 2013 TIME 100 Most Influential People In The World. Previous honorees have included Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Angelina Jolie.

As Africa’s leading lady of showbiz, Omotola joins the select few elite from around the world who TIME Magazine honors as the globes’ most distinguished individuals and who have amassed global achievements in their respective industries. After nearly two decades of consistent on screen success, the African Jewel’s accomplishments have been recognized as a pioneering force of the Nollywood film industry.
