How time flies!

Looking through old pictures is always just such a huge reminder and wakeup call of how fast time goes. To think, not too long ago, all the women on today's list were just entering secondary school for the first time unsure of what the future would hold.

Now these women are one of Nigeria's top leading actresses today. In the past, I did a post titled 13 Adorable Throwback Pictures of Nollywood's Older Actresses and you guys really seemed to like that post.

So, I thought to myself: why not do something for the newer actresses. I mean, these are the new age of women gracing our screens and even though a lot of these women are still very young, in their 20s, 30s - it doesn't mean we still can't throw it back for them as well.

Are you ready to get into this list? Then let's go!
