Oops! Movie Director lashes out at Geneveive Nnaji

Over the weeken, Geneveive had a quick chat
with Punch where she disclosed why her face
has been rare in movies in recent times.

The Super star and single mum of one, Geneveive Nnaji has said “I guess I haven’t found the right script yet. Creativity and
depth are the qualities that I look out for in a
script. In the beginning, the movie industry emphasized quantity but things are changing and there is an improvement in trend. I am
among the people who advocate for the improvement of the industry. So said, I am
constantly watching out for the kind of
stories I take part in. I am in support of
movies that show a great deal of
professionalism and creativity.
Having practised my art in international and
professionally produced stories like ‘Ije’;
‘Mirror boy;’ and ‘Tango with me’, I don’t
think I can return to the blandness and
mediocrity that characterised Nollywood in
the past"

Well, that response did not go down well with
a movie director, Mac Collins Chidebe.

In a statement sent out to the media, the
director lashed out at Geneveive. Read
statement below:

"Genevieve has just insulted the industry that
made her who she is today and what effort
has she made to help improve Nollywood?

Those days in Enugu when Genevieve was
growing in Nollywood, our movies were not
rubbish; she has grown now, made money,
fame, popularity e.t.c, how much has she
invested in this Industry that made her?

All the while she was busy waiting for Titanic
scripts, Nollywood was trying their best to
keep the flag flying waiting for her to come
back and take the industry to the next level.

Artistes should stop biting the fingers that fed
them. We are watching and waiting for them
to bring down heaven. We made them stars;

we are waiting for them to come back and
take the industry to the next level. Instead of
blasting Nollywood, come and improve
Nollywood.” Chidebe said.
