As the stakes rise, these Nollywood queens are preparing to release their most ambitious projects yet, all slated for cinema debuts this December.
Social media has become their battlefield, showcasing carefully crafted posts, intense promotional strategies, and glamorous premieres, all in a fierce race for the spotlight.
