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 from Julia Blaise Blog (JBB) are 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.
Others who were honored at last night 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.
