Genevieve in Uganda

Nollywood’s hottest property, Genevieve Nnaji will be travelling to Kampala next month for the Ugandan film awards. On November 21st, she will be taking part in a ‘Meet the Stars’ event with Ramsey Nuoah at the Ggaba Beach on the shores of Lake Victoria. This is a great coup for the organisers because Genevieve is known to hate publicity. “That wasn’t what I set out for,” she says, “I set out to act because it’s something I enjoy doing. But the fame came with it. I’m not here for the fame. I really do love my work,”

Genevieve has starred in over 100 movies including the Sharon Stone series, Honey, Agony and Private Sin.

Genevieve believes in paying active attention to her website and has some excellent ideas for it: “What I’m doing is I’m planning to make the best use of it, since I have so many people on my site. I’m trying to make it more interesting, more like a TV show on the Internet. I’m going to be running games on my show. I’m going to be asking questions to find out how well they know me. There’s going to be gifts. There’s going to be prizes.”

Ijeoma Imoh - Rising Star

Ijeoma Imoh – Brains and Beauty



As a graduate in Business Administration, Ijeoma Imoh is not your typical Nollywood Babe. She has clear views on the way the industry should be developing: “Firstly, they should try to have better story lines, do more research before coming up with a story. Secondly, they should learn not to stereotype people to a particular character. Finally, they should also be able to give different roles to people in different movies so that people do not start thinking it’s the persons natural right.”
Ijeoma has appeared in about fifteen movies so far including Emotional Risk, Untapped Gold, Desperate Need, Daytime Lover, End of Discussion.
Ijeoma speaks with approval of the Sexiest Actress competition recently organised by Vanguard newspapers – her only disappointment being that she didn’t win it herself – but the honour went to Genevieve Nnaji. “Personally I think she deserves it,” Ijeoma says charmingly, “She merits it because she's put in so much into Nollywood.”
