| Genevieve denies insult,"i didn't call Nollywood bland or mediocre". |
why she has not been appearing in films lately, Punch then quoted her as saying:
“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 emphasised 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 practiced my art in international & professionally produced stories like ‘Ije’;
‘Mirror boy;’ and ‘Tango with me’,
I don’t think I can return to the blandness and mediocrity that characterized Nollywood in
the past.”

| Genevieve's denial about insulting Nollywood. |
Nollywood Director ,Mac Collins was enraged by what Genevieve supposedly said and gave
her some harsh words..Mac Collins said Genevieve had bitten the fingers that fed her by
insulting Nollywood that made her into a superstar..here is what he said:
"Genevieve has just insulted the industry (Nollywood)that made her who she is today
and
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.”
I think this needs to be clarified,the Punch is a credible paper.One of the top papaers in Nigeria,if she has really said so,they should release the audio if need be,cos their credibility is being questioned by Genevieve.On the other hand if Genevieve did not insult Nollywood as reported,she should sue their ass for them tarnishing her image and reputation.They can't both be right,The Punch or Genevieve is lying..Who do you believe? I know who i believe.
