Our Nollywood stars are amazing entertainers.\n
For some of them, they keep us confused when we see ads because we\u2019re not sure exactly what they\u2019ll be up to. But for some others, we can guess the path they\u2019ll be playing and we\u2019re mostly right in most cases.\n
Here are a few Nollywood stars who have been stereotyped regularly and the roles they\u2019re stereotyped into:\n
1. Patience Ozokwor \u2013 Wicked Mother\n
Once you see Patience Ozokwor\u2019s name in a movie, she\u2019s the wicked mother whose children are forever getting in trouble with other people in the community or she\u2019s the wicked stepmother who\u2019s pressurizing her child not to marry from a family for whatever reasons she has.\n
She\u2019s almost always ready to do anything to pursue her mission, including going diabolical.\n
2. Jim Iyke \u2013 IJGB brother\n
Jim Iyke is that brother of yours who just got back from America and won\u2019t let Lagos get to him. He\u2019s always clubbing like he\u2019s still abroad, leaving his shirt open and blasting music when he\u2019s driving.\n
He also has his way with girls because well, he\u2019s normally loaded and doesn\u2019t know how to spend the money wisely.\n

3. John Okafor \u2013 Mumu\n
When you see John Okafor or Mr Ibu in an advert, there are two things you should know! First, the movie is going to be a comedy.\n
Secondly, he\u2019s the one they\u2019re playing pranks on always. It\u2019s safe to say his stupidity knows no bounds. He\u2019s the village clown, the one everybody knows but do not want to associate with.\n
4. Olu Jacob \u2013 Igwe\n
For someone who\u2019s Yoruba, Olu Jacob sure makes the perfect Igwe whenever. Proof that he\u2019s an amazing actor.\n
Most times, he\u2019s the king with ruthless kids and has to be calm when addressing them or most times, the king whose kingdom is on fire.\n
\n
5. Gentle Jack \u2013 Bodyguard or Armed Robber\n
Looking for the perfect gangster or bodyguard in a movie? Gentle Jack is your guy. His name in short is enough for you to believe that he\u2019s the right man for the job.\n
When he\u2019s not obeying instructions to kill people in movies, he\u2019s jealously guarding his bosses.\n
6. Ngozi Ezeonu \u2013 Queen Mother\n
Talk about Ngozi Ezeonu and you think of the yellow beautiful woman who is normally the queen mother in the movies she plays.\n
She probably has ruthless children too and is working on keeping their bad behavior to the royal courtyard.\n
\n
7. Hanks Anuku \u2013 American returnee bad boy\n
Hanks Anuku is another amazing returnee bad boy. He does everything. He looks like Snoop Dogg on a regular so extra bonus points for that.\n
Apart from that, he\u2019s painting the town red upon arrival and mispronouncing all the local words he knows.\n
8. Kanayo O. Kanayo \u2013 Ritualist\n
Kanayo O. Kanayo is that uncle who started from the bottom but all of a sudden has money and you don\u2019t know where it came from.\n
From there, people start to die in the family and then it becomes fishy. His bulgy eyes will even scare you from collecting his money.\n
\n\n
9. Chinedu Ikedieze and Osita Iheme \u2013 Village nuisances\n
\u201cAki eh and pawpaw\u201d. These two are the village trouble makers. Right from the first movie they acted in, they\u2019ve been like that.\n
Sometimes they\u2019re not paired together but still, they go around the one thing they know how to do best \u2013 look for trouble.\n
10. Pete Edochie \u2013 Igwe\n
Calm words, constant thinking laced with stubborn children? Their father obviously has to be Pete Edochie.\n
Pete Edochie is known for his deep quotes that will have you thinking about what you\u2019ve done and how it resulted to something like this.\n
Nevertheless, he\u2019s a great man for Igwe and he\u2019s the calm type regularly.\n
\n\n
11. Chinwetalu Agu \u2013 Evil uncle with the most hilarious slangs\n
Chinwetalu Agu is the adult version of \u201cAki and pawpaw\u201d. He\u2019s looking for trouble wherever he is: whether he\u2019s in the Igwe in council meeting, or the brother\u2019s wife house or the village square.\n
He\u2019s looking for what to covet and who to destroy. What makes him the most fun? He has his hilarious slangs and we hear he never repeats any. Impressive!\n
12. Tony Umez \u2013 The man controlled by women\n
Tony Umez is that uncle of yours who used to come visit you and buy you things when coming but got married and stopped bringing anything.\n
In short, he stops coming frequently. Because he\u2019s obeying his new wife and he doesn\u2019t want to cause wahala.\n
\n\n
13. Camilla Mberekpe \u2013 Witch and marine spirit\n
If you have seen Nwanyi Asaba, then auntie Camilla Mberekpe doesn\u2019t need any introduction. She is the queen of the marine spirits, forever appearing and disappearing in the movie.\n
14. Chioma Akpotha \u2013 Good girl\n
Chioma Akpotha is the good girl who\u2019s oppressed by her wicked step mother or mother in law but still has faith that someday, they will like her eventually.\n
\n\n
15. Nkiru Sylvanus \u2013 Cry baby\n
Nkiru Sylvanus is the advanced stage of Chioma Akpotha. Nkiru will cry and release mix-tapes on her sufferings and trials and all what not. She is like the Cinderella without a fairy godmother (and there are no balls \u2013 just work and tears)\n
