Genevieve Nnaji & Omotola Jalade Still In Supremacy Battle?

The battle of supremacy between top actresses
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 top actresses shortly after
her inauguration.
However, investigations showing 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 honor 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 and she was nowhere near the venue of
this grand event, as 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. This
is because; 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 stated.
Please, let us beg them to come down from
their high horses and do the right thing.
