Nollywood screen goddess, Genevieve Nnaji in a recent interview revealed that her face has been scarce in many Nollywood films as a result of her not finding the right script yet.
Now we know that Creativity and Depth are the qualities the star looks out for in a script.
For those of you that missed the interview, here is what she said ;
"In the beginning, the movie industry
emphasized 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".

Well, a popular Nollywood movie director, Mac Collins Chidebe has replied Genny in a statement released today. Mac Collins blatantly replied saying Genevieve should come and improve Nollywood instead of blasting the industry that brought her fame and fortune.
"Genevieve has just insulted the industry that made her who she is today and what effort has she made to help improve Nollywood? Those days in Enugu when Genevieve was growing in Nollywood, our movies were not rubbish; she has grown now, made money, fame, popularity etc., 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," Chidebe said.
