5 Hottest Nigerian Onscreen Couples Ever

Yes, great onscreen pairings are about as essential to a movie as oil is to an engine which is why we recount a few of such Nigerian onscreen pairings that had us wishing more than a few times that life could imitate art.

Here's 5 of our hottest onscreen couples ever.

1. Genevieve Nnaji and Ramsey Nouah: In Nigerian movie coupledom, this pair reigned supreme. With their abundance of good looks and natural chemistry, Genevieve and Ramsey kept us thoroughly entertained and had us believing in the 'Power of Love' for as many times as they were paired on screen. Although the pair never dated off screen, Genevieve and Ramsey had such great chemistry that they had us wishing they might as well have.

2. Rita Dominic and Jim Iyke: She was the light-skinned beauty that spoke with an 'accent' and he was the dark-skinned bad boy who also spoke with an 'accent', it was a match made in movie heaven. Often cast opposite each other in campus-type movies, Rita and Jim made such a great onscreen  couple that the rumours quickly began to swirl that they were infact dating off-screen, a rumour they've had to keep denying till date. If only...

3. Stella Damasus and Richard Mofe-Damijo: Before Richard answered the irresistible call to serve in his home state and before Stella decided to go AWOL on Nollywood, this pair had us believing in the institution of marriage according to the gospel of Nollywood with their undeniable chemistry on-screen. Often playing the role of a married couple, it wasn't long before rumours of an off-screen affair began, but they both vehemently denied the allegation attributing their easy chemistry to the friendship they had even before their arrival in Nollywood.

4. Nse Ikpe-Etim and Joseph Benjamin: Cast as an increasingly estranged couple in the movie 'Mr & Mrs', Nse and Joseph played the role to the hilt such that they had us believing in the power of second chances and all the wonderful goodness that comes with it.

5. Yvonne Nelson and John Dumelo: Any average follower of the movie industry in these parts can attest to the fact that Ghanaian actors are anything but shy when it comes to their love scenes. Said love scenes could make even the most unflinching individuals squirm in their seats. It is exactly this kind of heat Yvonne and John bring onto the screen whenever they're cast opposite each other as a couple or love interests which happens fairly often.
