In the history of Nollywood, very few actresses can effortlessly cry at any given whim when they are in front of the camera. The way these ladies burst into tears easily is the stuff of legends. Even though some of them no longer appear in movies as frequently as one would like anymore, lovers of Nigerian movies all over the world will never forget them, and their tears.

The mummy of all crying actresses, Nkiru’s talent as a crier was so well known that more than half of the movies she has appeared in features at least one scene of her shedding tears.
