  1. Do you know that Genevieve beat all her contemporaries in all ramifications. Someone said to me sometime that she can't speak English. her sentence construction says it all, she's damn intelligent

  2. Genevieve Nnaji just say it the way it is and stop washing your dirty linen in the public, what is the meaning of Nollywood, hiss. I was born and raised in Nigeria until I quit when some bastards made a mess of it and all these time I did not hear anything called Nollywood. What brought about Nollywood is that Nigeria film industry want to sound American that Hollywood is their film industry headquarters and for those that does not know Hollywood is a place in California America, it is not just a name it is a location and that is where Nigeria movie industry coiled the name Nollywood from. Till this present time so many Nigerians did not know how that name Nollywood came to being. It is always very shameful that Nigeria will never be original, this is one of the reasons why I like Yomi Fash Lanso, I still remember some years back when he was interviewed when he said he doesn't know what they mean by Nollywood. There was even a time that a moron among them said that Nollywood has been in existence for long and I said liar liar pants on fire, that is not true it was a name that was formed by getting the name Hollywood which is the name of the movie industry headquarters in America twisted. It is a big shame, in this 21st century Nigeria as a country can not come up with a name for it's movie industry without having anything to do with that of America, it is a shame and a disgrace. You should all cover your face in shame.

  3. I love the contribution of that young lady. I am Jamaican and I share the very same belief. I am loving all of Genevieve and other actors and directors from Nigeria and Nollywood. I will sit and watch these production because I feel at home with what I am watching.

  4. Thank you for a brilliant interview. Hollywood has really come a Long way. I absolutely enjoyed this talk.CONGRATULATIONS to Mr Kunle A. and Genevieve Nnaji. Doing your generation proud👍

  5. I must salute Kunie he’s a father of filming I remember he was in Japan 🇯🇵 years back invited by the industry here and he was in the making of expanding Nigeria and Japan cinema…

  6. Genevieve looking dashly with her evening outfit &gorgous….she is too much……just take a look @ her Africa queen .Looking brightly and & smart with her outfit love it

  7. Genevieve I love you so much baby you don't know how much I love and I will be always loving you forever you are my best even l don't want to close my eyes when am watching yo movies am proud of you and I want to see you with my own eyes

  8. My hat off to the two of you, you have both done very well in your respective areas. Especially Kunle Afolayon! What I do is buy Kunle's movie even if I have watched it for free, the reason been that I just want them to do very well. But there are too many bad Nigerians movies and this is one of the reasons for poor marketing. People with money don't want to spend it on rubbish!' And a larger percentage of the nollywood movies are really bad.

  9. Nigeria is the only country in the world where the population figure is always estimated. After more than fifty years of being and independent country, we still don't know what the exact population figure is?
