The final verdict: Behold the 25 women to go the distance!

It has been a gruelling six weeks of twists and turns, intrigues and suspense, and finally the people have spoken and we have our women selected to stand the test for this year’s Sexiest in Nollywood ‘Quest’.

Vanguard has had no hands in the selection process except in compilation of votes which have been sent in. If truly beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, then the readers who have come up with these 25 remarkable women in Nollywood have got their task spot on.

Behold the twenty five that will go to the distance are Colette Orji, Uche Jombo, Ebube Nwagbo, Anita Joseph, Queeneth Hilbert, Queen Nwokoye, Rita Dominic, Biodun Okewo, Stephanie Okereke, Jackie Appiah, Tonto Dikeh, Nadia Buari, Yvonne Nelson, Uche Iwuji, Maureen Cyril, Cynthia Agholor, Yvonne Okoro, Nuella Njubigbo, Amanda Ebeye
Ejiro Okurame, Chika Agatha, Angela Okorie, Chitta Agwu, Damilola Adegbite and Tope Osoba

As it was made clear from the beginning of the ‘quest’: every man and woman who acts in Nollywood has eligibility to be voted, with exception of only those stars who have been past winners of the quest.

It would be recalled that Genevieve Nnaji and Jim Iyke won the maiden edition in 2009 as the Sexiest Woman and Sexiest Man respectively. In 2010, the stakes got higher and we had several categories included in the ‘Quest’. Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Desmond Elliot emerged the Sexiest man and woman respectively for 2010.

Other winners who emerged from the categories include Mercy Johnson, Chioma Chukwuka- Akpotha, Chidi Mokeme, Yemi Blaq, Nonso Diobi, RMD, Ini Edo, Emeka Ike and Chike Ike. All these people are not eligible to participate in this year’s edition.

Now the die is cast for 2013. Only your votes can decided who emerges as the Sexiest Man and Sexiest Woman in Nollywood 2013. From next Saturday the star that gets the list number of votes will be eliminated from the ‘Quest’. Keep voting!
