If you have been following Nollywood gist since the early 2000s, I am certain you would have heard of the famous G8, which comprises of 8 popular Nollywood actors and actresses, who were banned from Nollywood for a year.

Reports had it that they usually demanded huge fees from producers because they were some of the choicest Nollywood stars. And as a result, they were banned from starring in Nollywood movies for a period of one year.

Following the temporary suspension, actresses like Stella Damasus, Omotola Jalade and Genevieve Nnaji tried a shot at music, but their music career wasn’t really a hit. And when the ban was lifted, they all returned back to acting.

Speaking in an interview years later, Ramsey Nouah said the ban had a huge impact in the Nigerian movie industry and paved way for a new era. In 2011, Omotola Jalade said the ban was a kind of a revolutionary stage in Nollywood, and as a result of that, actors are now well paid.
