Nollywood is probably the entertainment industry in Nigeria with the most handsome men. It has been said that besides the talent and dexterity with which they deliver, the aura and charisma they have in terms of looks and style and indeed all things physical is an added bonus.

You should see them outside the screen especially when they on the red carpet. That is when you realise they are handsome (in capitals!).  We all have choices as to who our top 20 most handsome should be. We however present them to you. Feel free to agree or disagree:

Blossom Chukwujekwu: If you are familiar with Iroko TV then you know this dashing young man. He made his debut in 2009 and since then, has gone on to be a household name in the industry.

Thanks to his ravishing looks, you cannot forget his face. He has starred in movies such as “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” etc. However before all these, he was starred in a yet to be released soap opera titled “Portrait of Passion”. That same year, he was cast in “Private Storm”  alongside Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Ramsey Nouah etc.

His acting career began in 2001 proper when he starred in the “7 Books of Moses”. He has acted in over a hundred movies and is definitely worthy of our mention. He is from Imo state.

Bryan Okwara: Would it not be unpardonable if the former Mr Nigeria and Mr World’s semi finalist does not appear on this list? Standing at an impressive 6ft 3in with a body to kill for, you cannot fault him.

Although he has starred in quite a lot of movies, such as “Heart to Heart”, he is more focused on his modeling career and has been ambassadors for a number of prominent brands. Some of them include, Globacom, Martini, Guinness and Audi. He hails from Imo state.

Ramsey Nouah Jr.: We all love our golden boy (or should I say man) Ramsey Tokunbo Nouah Jr. He was born on 19 December 1970, to an Israeli father and a Yoruba mother.

What we find alluring about him is his well toned muscles and his brows which he is forever arching up.

IK Ogbonna: Bad boy gone bad, we may have had to tender an apology if our very own IK is not on this list. Have you seen his biceps, his clean shaven head (which is his signature) and of course his dapper look?.

There is no doubt he is a ladies man and has been involved with quite a lot of them including Juliet Ibrahim. He is married to a Columbian, Sonia Morales. He hails from Abia state.

Jim Iyke: And we wrap up the list with Nollywood’s very own bad boy. We can’t possibly see Jim Iyke fitting into any other role but that. His delivery makes us wonder if he was born to do this.
