2. Emeka Ike: One word sums this actor up: insipid. I am simply baffled by his popularity. He is a weak, dull, uninteresting man. You can be sure that if he were out with a lady and got mugged, he would hide behind her.


3: Omotola: is a woman of extremes. she is extremely popular when it comes to looks, and extremely bad when it comes to acting. Having said that - I do feel a little sorry for her - it must have been hard on her to be upstaged by Genevieve.

4. Mike Ozuronye: has been on our screens far too many times. Not only is he a bad actor, he manages to be so bad that potentially good films wilt at his feet. He is like the reverse of King Midas - everything he touches turns to… erm, well - poo.

5. Saint Obi: This is a tricky one - when he comes on screen he seems like he might be okay - but then he opens his mouth. They must spend millions on his films editing out the drool! How on earth has he ended up in so many films?

Emeka is the exact OPPOSITE of that.

so i find it bizarre that he is often cast as a hero... it confuses me: i'm often like "am I actually supposed to LIKE this character and sympathize with him?"

i can't do it.

Emeka is the exact OPPOSITE of that.

in every single role, he appears shrill, condescending, arrogant, weak, opportunistic and ignorant. and it has nothing to do with the scripts... it's an aura that he radiates as an individual. so i find it bizarre that he is often cast as a hero... it confuses me: i'm often like "am I actually supposed to LIKE this character and sympathize with him?"

i don't find him attractive at all. even his eyes and his... carriage bother me.

he doesn't exude... strength. or compassion. or wit. or any other quality i appreciate in a man.

he seems sleazy.

i'm not trying to dis him, mind you... i just think he's miscast in "hero" roles. he would be better off playing roles like the morally dubious asshole and stuff like that.

"Bullshit!! I hate when guy do that stupid shit. Like you don't know who is good looking! If I told you that you looked like Denzel Washington or Danny Glover, which one would you think was a compliment?!"

I was weak.... Of course man would feel much better to be compared to Denzel... Ergo, I can tell if a guy is good looking...

It is not a gay thing, it is just a matter of being honest and not allow homophobia to make you a liar... You don't have to be gay to think another man is good looking...
