Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
dragged for many years, before they played
alongside each other in the award winning movie,
Ije, a development that made people to conclude
that both parties have let the sleeping dog lie.
It was believed that the two movie stars have
become friends when the National President of
Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo Fiberesima
stepped into all the grievances between the
actresses shortly after her inauguration.
However, investigations show that the beautiful
Nollywood actresses are still not friends.
Recall that Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde was named
Most Influential Nigerian by Time Magazine early
this year. As it could be, Actors’ Guild of Nigeria
(AGN), the guild where the actress has remained
loyal to for many years decided to celebrate and
honour her.
Guess what? Genevieve Nnaji was not only absent
from the event but also close friends disclosed that
she was angry for the accolades showered on
Omotola. Sources say the Imo born screen diva is
still angry with the organisers of the event till
today.
Again, the talented actress, Ms. Genevieve was
among the lucky Nollywood practitioners who were
honored on Wednesday November 27, 2013 at
Grand Awards of Nollywood @20, a situation that
has been questioned by many people from
Omotola’s camp. According to them, Genevieve is
not supposed to be honored for her contributions
in movie industry without Omotola’s name
appearing on the same list. “Omotola’s name was
omitted.” They say.
Simply because Omotola’s name was not in the list,
she was nowhere near the venue of this grand
event, as an invitation must have been sent to her
weeks before yesterday.
There are strong speculations that Omotola’s name
was intentionally omitted from the event to bring
Genevieve Nnaji back.
“The two ladies are putting guild heads into serious
problems, because if you are honoring one of them,
the other will want same or there will be issues.
Most times, you cannot carry two of them along at
the same time. Omotola was named Times
Magazine’s Most Influential Nigerian not Genevieve
and AGN did the right thing by honoring her. So,
was the idea anyway close to telling the AGN head
not to honor such positive development? They
should help others to help themselves,” a source
who begged anonymity said.
Please, let us beg them to come down from their
high horses and do the right thing
