However the evolution of theater into Nollywood has not deterred these women, they have evolved brilliantly with the time and can still hold their own in the new age of acting.
The most prominent role they can play now though is the role of a mother; sometimes they are bad mothers, sometimes they are good mothers, sometimes they are even witches or rascals! Yet, they play the role if mothers.
Some of the mist prominent of these women are Fausat Balogun popularly known as Madam Saje and Lanre Hassan: Iya Awero.
These two women are Yoruba Nollywood actresses who have come a long way in acting. They are both excellent role interpreters who play the motherly roles as convincingly as possible.
Madam Saje and Iya Awero even have their comic sides which has endeared them to producers and audiences.
If you had the opportunity to be a movie producer today, and you need to cast a woman as a perfect mother for an actor in a movie, which of these women would be your choice.
Note that all sides of motherhood must be put into consideration.... Madam Saje or Iya Awero, who plays the good, the bad and the ugly side of motherhood perfectly?
