Who made the list? Charles Novia names the 5 BEST Nollywood actresses of 2013

I watched a number of films this year and as many as were being churned out in all the zones, I had to pin-point my search to specifics. As a filmmaker, with many years of experience to my credit, I know good acting when I see it. Acting is inborn while talent is general but depth in acting is few among actors. And so, my blog has decided to award and possibly reward actors with citations and accolades for their art in a preceding and current year. I and my editorial staff think this will be a good and unbiased reward system. I drew up my conclusions about the names on this list after watching them in stand-out roles in some movies released in late 2012 to the last quarter of 2013. I consulted a few of my colleagues about my list; tested film directors and there was an unanimity on 70% of the criteria I used in arriving at my conclusion. They all agreed with me 100% on the choice for the Number One Actress in 2013.

This list is wholly based on my perception , criteria and experience. I consulted as much as possible and decided too to add my blogazine as part of the award process. In essence, this means that these actresses

mentioned here would be given special award plaques in the first quarter of 2014 by charlesnoviadaily.com for being part of this list. I do not seek to compete with the numerous awards strewn all over the place but to add a sane and credible voice to a general reward system for talent. Ours will be different because it is a critics award, not lobbied for nor coveted. It is just a plain and honest award for

WATCH: Nigerian man survives 3 days at bottom of Atlantic Ocean, Found by Divers

LAGOS, Nigeria — About 100 feet down, on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, divers had already pulled four bodies out of the sunken tugboat. Then a hand appeared on a TV screen monitoring the recovery.
Everyone assumed it was another corpse, and the diver moved toward it.
  “But when he went to grab the hand, the hand grabbed him!” Tony Walker, project manager for the Dutch company DCN Diving, said of the rescue in May.

Harrison Odjegba Okene, the tug’s Nigerian cook, had survived for three days by breathing an ever-dwindling supply of oxygen in an air pocket. A video of Okene’s dramatic rescue — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArWGILmKCqE — was posted on the Internet more than six months after the rescue and has gone viral this week.


As the temperature dropped to freezing, Okene, dressed only in boxer shorts, recited a psalm his wife had

Woman found stabbed to death days after posting FB warning about her ex
