Dear Readers,
You are welcome to the Abovewhispers Hall of Fame. This part is dedicated to celebrating everything that inspires you. From art, technology, graphics, locations etc. It is a session that is open, it is flexible which means it is not subjective to anything, this is what we collated from our end just to celebrate the industry involved.
It is important to note that, we celebrate more of our females but something about the males would definitely come up. The Second largest movie industry in the world is on the platform this time to celebrate our Popular New generation actresses.
Let me say they are the NEW FACES IN NOLLYWOOD. They are not quite ‘New’ but you can admit that recently, these are the faces of the New Generation of Nollywood. This is something away from the regular.
Remember, this is not a subjective collation, it is Flexible. You can send your list if you think someone who is worth it has not been added to the HALL OF Fame.
Enjoy!
