The battle of supremacy between top actresses Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde dragged on 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 had let the sleeping dogs lie. It was believed that the two movie stars had become friends when the National President of Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo Fiberesima stepped into all the grievances between the top 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 expected, the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), the guild the actress has remained loyal to for many years, decided to celebrate and honor her.
Guess what? Genevieve Nnaji was not only absent from the event, but close friends disclosed that she was also angry about 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 to the movie industry without Omotola’s name appearing on the same list. “Omotola’s name was omitted,” they say.
Omotola’s name was not on the list and she was nowhere near the venue of this grand event, though an invitation must have been sent to her weeks before yesterday. Yours truly is noticing that a strong supremacy battle is still brewing between the two actresses.
Please, let us beg them to get off their high horses and do the right thing.
Others who were honored at last night’s award include: Larry Williams, Zeb Ejiro, Adebayo Salami, Sadik Balewa, Idowu Phillips, Eddie Ugbomma, Tunji Bamishigbin, RMD, Tunde Kelani, Ken Nnebue, Fidelis Duker, Bukky Ajayi, Abbey Lanre, Jide Kosoko, Andy Amenechi, Sani Muazu, Emem Isong, Mike Nliam, Pete Edochie, Taiwo Hassan, Fred Amata, Yinka Quadri, Umar Faruk, Lanre Hanssan, Kareem Adepoju, Tunde Alabi Hundeyin and many others.
