The 31-year-old Nigerian born Nnaji is the fourth of eight children and had the opportunity to attend the University of Lagos where she acted in a number of Nollywood productions.
Nigeria has one of the world's biggest film industries and produces even more movies each year than the United States.
The industry outputs more than 200 movies each month and is estimated to be worth more than $250 million.
Nnaji started acting at the age of eight and had her first stint in the spotlight in the television soap opera "Ripples."
One of her first big Nollywood films was the movie "Most Wanted" and the rest is history. Nnaji went on to star in a number of highly successful movies and is generally considered to be one of the best paid actresses in Africa.
Here's your chance to ask one of the biggest stars in Africa your questions.
Do you want to know what it is like working in the Nollywood film industry? Interested to know what films or actors she admires in Hollywood?
Please leave your questions for Nnaji below and be sure to include where you're writing from.

Hello Nnaji

Genevieve, being an actress/ model in Africa, (especially sub Saharan) for sure is one of major risk factors for HIV/AIDS transmission (to the mentioned group), because you become popular (and usually beautiful) so every one wants to be with you. What measures you take personally to avoid those challenges and what is your advice to other female celebrities in Africa.
I am from Tanzania.
Hello Genevieve,
1). About 8 years ago when I lived in Cameroon, rumour had it that you have Cameroonian roots. Is that true?
2. Do you think you could do something as a leading Nigerian actress to create relations between Nollywood and the Cameroonian film industry?
Thank you.
What are the challenges of working in the Nigerian film industry.
How can potential artist get a place in the competitive industry like Nigerian film industry.
What advice do you have for the young ones who may see you as a model based on your life experience.
Thank you.

hi. i have always been a big fan of yours and am proud that Nigeria can produce talents such as you. my question is this, we produce and release a lot of films, but a while lot of them seem to be too fetish, diabolical or really do not distinguish between child and adult viewers. how do you hope to help to sanitize this industry and correct these points?

Hello Genevieve,
First of all I would like to congratulate you on your success thus far, as I know how difficult it for women to maintain dignity in a male dominated industry.
We hear and see loads of negative things about Nigeria in the media, and while we know there are many positive attributes; they're usually overshadowed by the negative.
When you look at Nigeria, what do you see?
What must Nigerians do to change international perception of its image?
How can Nollywood do that?
Hi pretty tanxs for making 9ja proud i luv u. But i wil like to have ur number becus i want to be like u.
my role model,
What has been your greatest failure/regret in the nollywood industry?, God bless u

How can Nollywood be instrumental in changing the paradigm of brand Nigeria?
Hi Geny
Since I started being your fan, I have been looking for the opportunity to see you face to face like the other Nollywood actors and actresses that come over to Cameroon to no avail, now I am in Nigeria (Abuja) with the same anxiety, How is this dream going to become a reality?

you are my best actress and there is no movie you have acted in that i havent seen apart from the recent releases in nigeria that i'll see when i go home for the christmas holidays.

your sense of style is usually simple and cute. how do you always make that work?

May i also add... WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE TO ASK QUESTIONS THEY
KNOW THEY WILL NOT GET ANSWERS TO? E.G why are you asking
about D'banj? What do you want Genevieve to say? Is she D'banj? Is
she his Mom? His sister maybe? Just leave it as it is.
Whether she wants to tell everyone who she is BANGING is her
business alright! This question has been asked toooo many times.
Hi Genevieve, you are my aspiration. You are an icon to me, and I will never forget about you. My question are the following:
-what is your favourite colour?
-what type of music do you like?
-Can i see you?
I am not nigerian, and I have never been in Nigeria, however i am coming to Nigeria next summer just to look for you although my parents and family think that it would be very stupid for to do so. yes I do intend to come with my mum as she is the only one supporting me about this. She knows how crazy i am about you.

GENNY...PLS WHEN R U GETTING MARRIED?
Hello Genevieve, I am a very good fan of yours and proudly a fellow Nigerian. You have this way of acting as if you are just living your normal life and I guess that's what stands you out of the lots. But I just wander how you are able to do this. Please don't tell me it's skill, it's much more than skill. I pray God to take you to the very top the industry can offer. Emmanuel Olutimehin (Kaduna Nigeria)

From Nigeria. Greetings to everyone. Genevive nnaji laudable acheivement in Nollywood and her fame all over the world has made me more even proud of Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Q. With her rising fame and fortune in Africa and the whole world at large,how did she intend using her current status to change election trend in Nigeria come year 2011?
wat where ur challenges in d beginin???
Hi star how can you improve our kenyan films give as ideas of what we can do to improve ourselves
Hello Miss Nnaji, 1 have just a little Q for u. And my Q is ; What was yr source of inspiration?
Truely speaking i love this woman that is all
Nigeria movie industry is not worth $250,000,000, the Nigeria moves are medioca at best, some Nigeria movies can be acted in 3 days at most and they actors are poorly paid, they are paid $500 tops for the best actors and the word maybe $20, i dont know why an international link like CNN cant do its own research and expose the Nigeria movies for what they are.
The Nigeria music industry is world standard, please lets get our fact right, nollywood is rubbish.
hi my name is wale am ritin frm lagos nigeria. i wud like to no if u will marry me? i presently datin three girls that i will gladly leave jus for u! since i dont even no hw to choose for i dont want to be partial! lol
Hi braveheart, i'm so proud to be a nigerian due to the success of my icon or should i say icons such as yourself, Tonto Dike, Oge Okoye, D'banj and so many others, a lot of times i get jelous of u guyz but i always remember that i have to be myself and pray to be better than my icon or role models, i'm a superstar yet to be discovered in both entertainment industries. But what is still drilling a hole in my heart is that i realy want to see you guyz do it alongside those in holyhood such as, Angelima Jollie, Queen Latifah, Nicole Kidman, Will Smith, Chris Rock and so many others. I apriciate your courage in covering Africa but i hope and pray we rule the world. I'm hoping to get reply, thanx.
Hello Gene how r u? My question for u is as a strong nollywood actor that has been in the industry for long I know u have a sound voice now when it comes to the content in the movies. I notice that nollywood is pushing the envelopes but I think its get outrageously too much. Its SEXUAL content is wayyyyy over the top and we r watching these movies with children, would u pls voice it out that they slow down with the nudity. Thank u have a blessed day and life. (Atlanta, GA. USA)
Am curious to know if u attended any higher institution,university??from nigeria
oops ...forgot........ I'M WRITING from London..... xoxo
At ur first show, were u called or u applied for it.
You were referred to as the Julia Roberts of Africa by Oprah Winfrey ..but what celebrity do you relate to most?..who have you been mostly inspired by..and who would you compare yourself to, from the biographical, (& obstacles faced, "climbing the ladder" "rise to fame" ) perspective..?
Tell me and every 9ja youth, on have to develop our talent in the 9ja movie industries.
Hi,what is ur plan about marriage.Bicos i wil luv 2 see ur children been as great as u are
Genevieve, how come you are so so beatiful...What is your beauty routine..I think that i really would like to know. Thanks. You really are one of the best.
Hi Jenny, you are one person I would always like to watch out for in nollywood. You still remain my best. Meanwhile, Ije was a bomb and you made me laugh all through. Are you married? If no, are you planning to very soon or are you enjoying being a single parent?
I appreciate & emulate u....but what have you done for charity/humanity....i mean your contribution to nation building?
First of all I love you.
Second hey girl.
Third you rock!!!
I'm amazed by you, you are one of the few but very special women that I look up to. You, Oprah, Maya Angelou and Tyra Banks are women I want to be someday. I CAN tell you are very hard working by watching you act in movies, you truly are great at your work.
What is your advice to young Africans living in the United States, working hard to become doctors but I not sure If they should go home after graduating Medical School to serve the people or to stay in the United States to make money?
Thank you & may God keep blessing you.
hi nnaji,hw do u cope wid competition posed by other nollyhood actresses?wat r sa challenges dat u face as an actress,n hw does it feel lyk being a star?thanx
TALENT is something bestowed upon many, Unknown to many, Revealed to few, A parcel from the supernatural being to hew. Thrills the world with histories untold, Lifts thee to the top if well used. Comes to stay. Hidden in the souls of many. Jenny u re talented. My question goes like this.(1) How is talent classified? (2) How can one join nollywood? Am interested i want to join cos i hav always wanted to be an actress. (3) What is the secret of your acme?. I will much happy to read your reply soon. Thanks.

Heyyyyyy Ladie!
Do you foresee any star hitting your position in the acting field and going higher? If so, what are your recommendations? What would you advice them to do?
How do u balance being a mum and keeping up with the attention? Shed more light on your 'self-discipline' and how it has helped.
-Kudzai

I'm proud of u Geni Q what makes u tick? Q what is ur favouriate food? Q how do u relax and who is ur role model?
Hi Genevieve,
I am Blaise Buma, a Cameroonian studying here in the United States.
I appreciate your talents and the skills coming from Nollywood. Nollywood is indeed doing a great job for Africa and promoting our culture.
When I was a child, Nigerian movies had a great appeal to me and most of my friends. However, when I came of age, I notice they didn't have as much appeal to me anymore because there is hardly any sophistication and the movies revolve around the same themes over the years; love and relationships, sex, money and power.
I have two questions for you:
1 – Are there any plans to move beyond these mundane story lines and produce sophisticated and compelling movies that do not only appeal to kids and less educated people but also to well educated people?
2 – Why has Nollywood and actors and actresses like you not stepped up efforts to use movies to raise awareness on issues plaguing Africa such as AIDS, human rights abuses, corruption, bad governance, wars, etc.? For example, a movie or documentary on the crises in parts of Africa, such as Darfur, Somalia, Zimbabwe or even the Niger Delta can help people, especially the western audience to better understand these conflicts, why they happen, and what can be done.
Thanks.
Dear genny, I am a nigerian, residing in abuja fct. And I am one of your biggest fans. I just want to ask this: what one quality or atribute do you think has made you stand out from the rest of your peers? In other words what are you doing differently and what do you advice young upcoming individuals who look up to you to do to make dem excel in whatever profession they choose to pursue? Thanks.
Waiting......

You are certainingly one of the greatest actress ever, your acting prowess knows no boundary. I believe a creative director will be unable to tap into your depth of acting. Keep it up Genny! And here are my questions:
1. Whats your dream role?
2. Starting out was at grassroot yet have achieved great heights, that which even the few you admire in Nollywood haven't, do you feel accomplished already?
3. If you are cast in the remake of a role of your choice- one of your favourite ever- which would it be?
4. Which would you most likely be driven by: the Oscar dream or Hollywood dream?
Genny I will be obliged to see you in the hollywood industry, pls make sure you show them the stuff you are made of. Diamond Gold Nnaji

Hello Genny,
I must first start by saying that I love your skills. YIu gave me the inspiration to want to be an actress and be good at. But, I have a couple of questions I will like to ask you;
1) Do you think that the new trend in African movies where women bear their bodies all in the name of being on t.v. is appropriate?
2) As a household name in the industry, do you think there is anything you can do to pass on the message to the script wrights and producers out there that we still love being African and will very much appreciate it if our African movies stop being westernized?
3) What advice do you have to give to young aspiring actresses who have the talent but are not given the opportunity to showcase it because they are not beautiful or attractive enough to be leading lady on screen?
4) Genny what are your interest as an individual, aside from being an actress?
Love you Genevieve Nnaji,
Favour.

Genevieve l want to know if you have marry ,if not why?
Hi Genevieve. You are indeed a star. I want to commend you and the other African actors who have tried to raise the standard of the acting business. Though we still have some very poor productions still coming out of Africa (actually the same every where in the world), but it is indeed pleasing that very few like are are from Africa. I cant wait to see some of you on the small screen in Hollywood. Please, I want to ask if your clothing line is available everywhere in Nigeria. Thank you
Hi genny I'm stachelle your biggest trinidadian fan well I'm 18 and I know that around your age you were pregnant what is the best advice you would give to a teenager like myself and other young girls?

Hello ..Genevive ..who was or rather your mentor in the movie industry?who was your role model ?
Hello Gene!
I"am really proud of you being an African. God bless you.
First of all I will like to know one of your greatest challenges in the movie industry.
Secondly, do you have a man in your life? who is he?
Genevive,a destined child. You are my shining star and I love you no matter what. But,seriously, when are we hearing wedding bells? I'd really love to see little baby Genevive-Diva, though, I heard the story of your grown daughter. I love you Genny. CAN WE MEET? I'm getting my self to use my acting talents.08033742923.
this is from your me emeka onyeka congrats dear
From a crazy fan,can i marry you in ten years from now.
what advice can u give to the youngones who wants to move to the movie industrial.Are u married?
Hi Genevive, which of your movies you classify the best? Has there been any time in your life as an actress, you had felt you should quit the profession. What does it take to be a movie star in Nollywood? And finally who are those other Nollywood stars that inspire you greatly. One more question, in the Cameroonian parlance, we say: one for the road: Have you ever lived or visited Cameroon before your acting career?
Stay blessed.
Mbock, Buea. Cameroon
i want to know if she,s a cordial person ,if she is a christian and keenly believes in god and if she impact to fans outside the industry if yes in what way because i heard she is not altruistic that she snobs,i want to be very sure because i love her.
Gene my darl, im really proud of you. You've come so far and I am amazed by ur success. Uve inspired lots of young girls to go after their dreams and not give up because of all the pitfalls they encounter. Just wanted 2 know w@ motto do u live by?
Ps- from ur no 1 fan. Luv ya.
Hello Genevive What is your advice to every lady out there who want to be like you.

Thanks,

I AM VERY PROUD ABOUT YOUR JOB AS AN INTL. ACTRESS / MODEL IN YOUR COUNTRY HOME NIGERIA, Q1, AS A PUBLIC FIGURE WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED, Q2, YOU WERE A CLOSE ASSOCIATE TO MR. ATIKU THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT,WERE YOU LOOKING FOR A MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENT OR WAS ATIKU A LINKUP TO NOLLYWOOD, thank you, ( genevian- MADRID SPAIN )
Go gal,b u......we all deserve our chances at life.
I some times dream about being an actress. somebody even told me one day that I look like you(laugh).
but at the same time, I want to be a wife and mom. I see actresses taking off their clothes and kissing others men onstage.
In your real live, a man had never made u feel like: you don't have anything else to show me or to hide from me. I already saw your boobs in the movie. ( I know in the movie, it is just kisses and nothing serious).
Thank you, Vanessa, Washington DC
Hi Genevieve,
As a Nigerian, I have watched since I was a child, literally and have continued to do so for the past seven years that I have been in the U.S. I admire you a lot. My questions to you is: what is your stand on the infiltration of other movies industries and actors (specifically Ghana) to the Nigerian movie industry. Do you feel that they're taking over the roles and jobs needed by very qualified Nigerians being that we are the most populous nation in African.
Secondly, what do you see as your role as a Nigerian actress in being a mentor and role model for young girls in Nigeria. Do you think actresses have a huge role, and what's your take on the constant conflict between celebrities in Nigeria. yay or nay? Thanks girl, and you are gorgeous.
Hello Nnaji. is it true that your involvement(girlfriending) with the former vice president Atiku Abubakar helped to boost your carrer.
if this is true tell us the positive and negative effects it had on your personal and professional life. keep on shining!!! up naija.

hi genny,there has been a recent lull in the production of high quality nollywood movies in nigeria.this can be attributed mainly to a glut in the market as producers churn out film after film. you wonder how many movies viewers can watch!i wanna ask why nollywood producers make so many movies most of which are of the same story lines and what stars like you are doing about the quality of films that nollywood brings out
Shehu from Nigeris
Genny, you are one person I respect and cherish so much in Nollywood, I just have one question to ask.Wat do you say to those producers who produce a movie which has no ending. I don't see any sense in producing a movie with part 1,2,3,4 and most times 5. Joy Uche, from Imo State, Nigeria.

Hi Gevevieve,
1. Some of us believe that the quality of movies produced in Nollywood is mediocre compared to Hollywood and Bollywood. What's your take on this? And in what ways do you believe the industry could improve?
2. What movies would you classify as the best to come out of Nollywood in particular and Africa in general?
3. The music videos being produced in Nigeria have attained a high degree of quality both in directing, recording media and all? Why haven't we affected the quality of Nollywood productions?
Thank you and I wish the best in your career and personal life.
How do you remain true to whom you are Ms Nnaji?
I'm writing from Seattle Washington, and u may know me as Nanie. Just like many African & African-American kids, I watched you transform and grow from Grass to Grace when it comes to your work, and popularity.
Now that you are in a position to make a difference, Ms Nnaji, how are u trying to positively, and humbly affect the lives of the children of Nigeria. I say children because I have checked and seen that millions of them love and look up to you.
Thank you very much for your time, and thank you for continuing to represent, I know I don't need to tell you or remind you, but " I wu Ezibo Nwa. Otwo i wey eme o we gi, gae mea ha mara na ndi anyi, bu ezigbo mmadu. And chukwu na gozi anyi. "
Take care Ms. Nnaji. As many have said she is an international, especially our African star. I have learnt that the Liberians & Nigerians can argue about eating Garri with soup or Rice with soup, but the will Always unite, appreciate and agree with Genevieve Nnaji 🙂
Gene,
U sound and look very arrogant,thou I am one of your fans,I sincerely love the way and manner u act. Rumour has it that u are arrogant ,pls I hope u are not.God protect and guild u in your career. Amen

Hello Genevieve do you have any plans of starring in Hollywood movies, because i think it would be so cool.
1.What are the challenges you face as an actress and a model.
Do people still go for auditions before they start acting? Because these days we see alot of unprofessionals in the movie industry, which makes the movie less interesting.
Is it true that you once dated former VP, Atiku?
Marie (Nigeria)
hi genevieve
1.Am in kenya am just wondering how does it feel

she should use here good reputation to change the image of Nigerians that has been damaged with corruption, militancy etc. she should be part of people that are putting smile on faces of the less privilege(orphans) in the society. also try and break into Hollywood. i admire two people on screen :
1.Jennifer Dalgado (cnn weather presenter) she is beautiful, she dresses very well, here color of dress also is good. please tell here she should carry on the good work.
2.. Genevieve Nnaji.
I write from Nigerian.
hey gene my question is Did u know u were gonna make it this big and how did the career start?
Hello, I'm from New York and have been following the Nigerian/Ghana movie industry since my husband and I married almost 10 years ago (he's Ghanaian). I love it. Our daughter and I first watched Butterfly and that movie started us as avid Nollywood movie watchers. We still watch it every now and again. My question is what type of movies are you looking to act in here in the U.S.? Best wishes!
what was your motivation in a country where 70% of the population are unemployed?
I'd like to say welldone for coming this far...my question is, have you ever attempted giving back to society – considering that its the society (your zillion fans) that have made you from their unflinching support and love?
pls try and help the poor pls,thanks
What strategies are you employing to fully break into Hollywood (and trully be amongst the great).
With your talent, intellect and classic good looks (you remind me of those screen goddesses from the 50's and 60's).
Breaking into Hollywood as an actress is the least i think you deserve.
perhaps seeking out alliances may be the way...
good luck
Genny I'm sooo proud of u,God bless you.
you are my idol,i must confess,your talents has elevated you , what are your next challenges,because i have not being seeing you in most of the newly released films, also as an african woman, personally i will like you to come to my country . we are proud of you.
extend your talents to order

Do you have any plan as part of your social responsibility to encourage ladies and women to rise up to challenges of life and become what they really want to be?
I hope you love GOD as much as you love your career 'cos Heaven is real.

Hello, I'm sending this mail from Port Harcourt Nigeria. Some tabloids in the conutry here, captions so many implicit messages to their readers and they fail to disclose who and who are involved in those obnoxious acts. But they go ahead to incite curiosity in the mind of their readers by saying the actresses are from your local government! I mean, I'm not a TV star but I can only imagine how troubling this news will sound in your ears but personally, if I were in your shoes, I'd feel bad! How do you react to these kind of captions? Especially when they are now in national tabloids?

Becoz we use to watch movies with great scripts without it but now it seems all da movies are having these scenes dat is against our culture. Is it been done bcoz sex sells? Pls post me back da reply.

Hello Genevieve,
Rumours have it that, given your video performance with D'Banj, you're off to a sizzling romance which could lead to marriage. Is this true?
Aside from being modestly described as the Julia Roberts of Africa, do you think there's another title that fits you?
You were once linked to Atiku Abubakar. In what capacity please?
Adult themes are suffocating the Nigerian movie industry. What can you do for the average Nigerian child's movie entertainment?

Hello Genevieve
1. My 2questions are very simple and straight forward:
Can you picture a possible link between Hollywood and Nollywood.. Any time soon?
2. Why is the quality of Nollywood movies not as Hollywood movies???
i have watched
since I was a child, literally and
have continued to do so for the
past 3years.
I admire you a lot. My
questions : what is your
stand on the infiltration of other
movies industries and actors
in Nigerian
movie industry. Do you feel that
they ’re taking over the roles and
jobs needed by very qualified
Nigerians being that we are the
most populous nation in African.
Secondly, what do you see as your
role as a Nigerian actress in being
a MENTOR and ROLE MODEL for
young girls in Nigeria. Do you
think actresses have a huge role,
and what ’s your take on the
constant conflict between
celebrities in Nigeria.How many LIVES have you CHANGED POSITIVELY? how can we stop child tracfficking & prostitution in nigeria? what will u give back to NIGERIA for the LOVE & SUPPORT they gave u?most cele talks about their children are u ashamed of ur daughter? how u intend to create job opportunity for the jobless? try to make ur fans happy.
Thanks girl, and you are gorgeous.
hi viv, i lov all ur wor ks, jst keep it up...
dear...what is your biggest fear, desire and wish
Dear Geny,
am so proud of you, and you are truly blessed.
I will love to know, your biggest challenge as an actress? and do you have any plans of visiting Tanzania? can you advise on single vs Marriage life, which do you think is better?
your fun- from Tanzania.
What is your greatest happiness in the film industry? That what i want to know
Hi Genny, hope cool. My question is dis 1. Is it true dat you are going out wit D'bang 2. Who is the father of your son.

Hi Genny
U are realy a screen diva, keep it up and I pray that God will grant u ur heart desire. just keep the good works going and dont forget that the sky is ur limit.
I admire u so much
i just love ur style! keep it up
Hi Genevieve,
I admire the way you carry yourself while on screen. You have shown that you are different from other nollywood female actresses who seek attention by being nude or vulgar. I commend you to keep it up, as alot of people are looking up to you (role model).
However, it is a bit worrying that your are not married. As you know our culture frowns upon single parent and single female etc.... It is not the lifestyle in Africa. Alot of the Nigerian celebraties seems to be embracing the western culture of divorce and leading seperate lives, but that is not ideal. Our culture is very precious and must be preserved. I will advice you to find a man and get married. Marriage will not take away from your tenacity and resillient to achieve more in your career. Rather it will even boost you up to higher heights. Please do not encourage this independent woman slogan by your life style, as it is only the thinking of small minded woman. An independent woman, should work hard and yet still cleave onto her man for comfort. As a highly successful career woman living in the UK, I am happily married to a highly successful man, and as they saying goes "two good heads are better than one".
Do you do personal appearances? As my hubby and I are planning a party back home in Nigeria (Imo state), and we would like to have you at this party.
Take care and keep the flag flying.
HI, Gennie, Am one of ur fan. Keep the good work going. God will be ur strength.
Laura,sweeden
you are my African role model...Ive met you a couple of times during my visit to Naija"my sugestion is try all your possible best to have a reality show...like Oprah Winfrey"I think we need to expose a lot in the nollywood industry,like talents and erase the critical view as actors and producers extorting..you can make a difference...especially with piracy"keep being my besti"
Hello diva,
Love u, love ur movies, ur courage, ur style, ur new look. Keep it going girl! Is it true that u have a baby?
First I must say we are very proud of you and my question is what do you think of the future of african film industry and do see further intigration with hollywood.
Genny as a bussy woman, did you have time for child at all? Pls dont allow her to miss you too much ok. You are the best. Hope you are recognise by your village peaple.
Hey Genny,I want you to know that,you have been blessed by God and favored by God so know one can bring you down.I want you to know that i am one of your greatest fan.And I will always Love and Support you.
I wanna know if you 're still planning to re-marry?

Hello Geny,
I must say Nigeria is proud to have a model like you and africa as a whole.
But i have this one question" how do you account for the life in the movie world and life outsite". some times i just believe there certain things you do as an actress or actor which is actually your character.
can you expanciate on that please.

Hello Genevieve
I'm from the Caribbean and around 2005, I was introduced to Nigerian movies, and you were 1 of the actresses in the first Naija movie I saw....Blood Sister. Since then you and Stella Damasus have been my favourite actresses in the industry. I loved you especially in Games Women Play. I wish you all the best and continue to promote yourself and your craft because you actually have talent. Luv U and God Bless.
Question
If you ever had a chance to shoot in any countryregion of the world, where would you go and who would you choose to be a male leading man.....please say Liam Neeson (LOL)!!!
1.Your decision to keep your child is for me your greatest achievement,thanks for not opting for an abortion.
2.Girl stay with your area of competence skip the music.
3.Am proud that you are a nigerian,continue to fly high.
Hi Genevieve i love your movies but can u talk to the writer of Emerald and Silent Scandal because good or bad we need ending. Ending we all can understand thank you.

Hi Genevieve,
I am Chidi from Lagos.
Please what is or was your relationship with former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
This is an opportunity for you to clear the air once and for all.
Best regards!
JV,

will we one day see you or any of the top Nigerian actors/actresses in a major holywood feature or better still, to see a major holy wood act in a Nollywood movie? we have seen collaboration between Bollywood(india) and Hollywood, will this one day become a reality with Nollywood?

As a role model in your career, it's not doubtful that you are on top of your world. You career impacts directly on people and people too are the benefactors of your career's growth.
1. What are the people oriented projects or foundations did you or intend to put in place aiming at changing the world of some particular people? Because to whom much is given much is expected, hence it's expect that you give back to them that have so much supported and encouraged your uprising.
2. Most of you the present celebrities who are the early entrants into the Nollywood had easy entry. It is now quit difficulty for potentially talented younger ones to get into the industry. What are the measures do you intend to put in place towards simplifying the entry processes (i.e. career development) for the Nigerian youths?.
I am a strong fan of Genevieve Nnaji writing from Nigeria.

As a fellow Nigerian and film producer when I watch Tyler Perry movies, his storyline and delivery is reminiscent of Nollywood movies. Do you see yourself working with Tyler Perry in the future?

Nollywood apart from being the indisputable initiative of the local people is also an “idea” and that “idea” is one of the best things that have ever came out from Nigeria since 1960… Read more from the article “Nollywood, An Example Of Feasible Local Initiatives And Self-Reliability Among Africans” http://www.modernghana.com/news/305266/1/nollywood-an-example-of-feasible-local-initiatives.html
