Nollytainment Inc. USA, an entertainment company based in America, says its plan to immortalise Nollywood stars like Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD), Kate Henshaw and Odunlade Adekola with the release of an NFT collection is attracting interest.
The immortalisation project, according to the company, is a tribute in recognition of the enviable achievements of icons of the Nigerian film industry.
RMD, Henshaw and Adekola will be immortalised under the banner “Nollywood Superstars NFT Collection”.
Nollytainment Inc. USA’s director of media Jacob Odedekuma said the Nollywood Superstars NFT Collection is an unprecedented, groundbreaking project that promises to transcend the boundaries of fan engagement and digital collectibles for Nollywood.
Set to be unveiled on Nigeria’s Independence Day, October 1, the collectible is said to be the first in a series of collections to honour the icons of the big screen in Nollywood, marking the beginning of a grand journey to celebrate and immortalize other illustrious Nollywood superstars.

According to Mr Odedekuma, each NFT in this inaugural collection represents a unique piece of Nollywood’s finest, meticulously crafted and designed to encapsulate the essence of the cinematic legends.
He remarked that the Nollywood Superstars NFT Collection offers fans and collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a unique and interactive piece of Nollywood history.
“On the launch day, 1,000 of these exquisite Nollywood Super digital NFTs will be distributed for free to fans who would be chosen at random from our Nolly.club, a gesture of appreciation to the dedicated supporters who have stood by these superstars throughout their awe-inspiring careers.
“What sets this Nollywood Superstar NFT collection apart is its exclusivity, uniqueness, and novelty in the third largest movie industry in the world.
“Despite the global reach of these Nollywood icons that included 100s of millions of fans, only 10,000 exceptional collectors will ever have the privilege to own these iconic pieces of cinematic history. The number of NFTS to be minded for each of these stars has been kept exceptionally small to create scarcity and future value in the hands of the ultimate holders
“To partake in this historic moment, fans are invited to join and preregister for the free drawings for the first 1,000 unique NFT giveaways on the Nolly Club discord server at www.Nolly.club, where all distributions and giveaways to the fans to be chosen at random will take place.
“By securing their giveaway spots now, enthusiasts can ensure their place in the annals of Nollywood history,” he said.
Odedekuma further noted that anyone who misses out on this special NFT Superstar collection for the icons will be able to go to the NFT secondary market to trade or buy their unique piece of their Nollywood hero.
“As Nollytainment Inc USA continues to pioneer innovation in the entertainment industry, this initiative not only celebrates the enduring impact of Nollywood’s finest but also heralds a forthcoming series of collections. These future releases will offer fans the opportunity to celebrate and immortalize more Nollywood superstars, giving them a piece of their digital legacy as collectible NFTs,” Odedekuma concluded.
