Stars and story lines are the
major drivers of box-office figure. So far Genevieve has delivered over N138 million in a number of movies.
While a lot of people consider Chiwetel as home boy, Genevieve is Naija's own superstar. The big question is will Genevieve deliver huge Box Office return for ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’ along with other Nigerian stars? Continue...

ReplyDeleteHmmm no shame
DeleteHmmm, see your life...
What Genny putting on here
We hav seen u. Next pls
Deleteeleyii gidii gaan
DeleteCrazy Nigerian celebrities dresses, you won't believe
So this Chinwetel can have Nigerian accent ehh! Lol
DeleteSure she will. Genevieve is good
ReplyDelete$$k@y$$
No I don't think Genny is that good.joke Silva,,mercy,omotola,.these artistes interprete their rolls so well.is Zack that beared man who speaks eloquently?if so then he's damn good.a mistake was made here,like its the practice in Hollywood,they could have looked for a fresh artist with no expectations but very raw talent.
DeleteI like Genny a lot.i think she has poise but I have never been wowed by her movies.i don't think she's deep enough.as producers and directors say "she doesn't get into character nor reach deep".
tomy watever u are called u are obviously biased,non of dose u mention can match genny's acting skill,her good works is paying off deal wit it,i guess d producers and directors knw beta thats why dey prefer to use her when it comes to bluckbusters like dis,u are just paind that it is not ur fake omotola,smell out already
Deleteanon 7:25am u have not bern wowed by her movies bcos u are biased
DeleteWhatever u say, u not close to her. So shove it down.
DeleteTomi u make me laf, she does nt interpret her roles bt she is recognised home n abroad, if Omotola ws better, I bet u she wld av been called, remember dy did "Ije" together n she pulled it off, when we speak, let's try not to b biased,
DeleteDm c Mercy johnson b4 dm call her, abi u tink say na "baby Uku in America" dm wnt act?
@tomi Joke silva- yes, omotola- No no, mercy J- Hell No. U r obviously too biased. Genevieve is one of the very best female actress we have and I'm sure she will deliver.
DeleteOk #bright bravo#
ReplyDeleteSee how hard work pays off.. Genevieve was barely in dat movie yet she's d most talked about in it lyk she was d lead... *tapping into her blessings *
ReplyDeleteOde! U hav seen d movie? U tink u knw all by watching trailer? Read d book pls.

Gene sure is!!! Ina aju aju? Da diva! Dnt care abt chiwetel since he said he aint nigerian but british! Kpujuo eze onu! (Not interested in him)
ReplyDeleteC dis fool, so bcos his parents r nigerians he shd say he is nigerian abi? He ws born in england and raised there, wt d bad publicity in naija, who wnts to b proud of naija outside, ppl lik u wd deny naija outside if given d chance, he is free to choose cos he is nigerian and british..by d way wat is d pride of been called a nigerian? Dis hopeless and disgrace of a country..c ur smelling fish mouth , does he care abt u? No..he dsnt even read our comments
DeleteI agree with you dear but that name is spelt WILHELMINA, u can thank me later.
DeleteYou, anon 7:44 are the fool and self-proclaimed bastard. Italy is renowned for gangsterism (forget what Hollywood paints, it is UGLY), but an Italian will NOT deny his nationality. What is so terrible about Nigeria are identity-dislocated vagabonds like you, neither fish nor meat. You denounce Nigeria but the west shut their gates in your self-hating face. The problem of the Nigerian is his self-disdain. If we look at your life any closer, one will see you and or your parents contributed to the rot that Nigeria currently is. Onye iberibe.
DeleteThey will deliver!
ReplyDeleteI BELIEVE THEY DID. THIS IS MAJOR.
ReplyDeleteNice to know. More grease to their elbows.
ReplyDeleteI hope the movie is a hit in the theaters and not just in Nigeria, but abroad also.
ReplyDeleteHow quick we are to run down our own stars...hian!
ReplyDeleteLinda you are becoming too biased these days...because Genny acted alongside Hollywood stars then that makes her less human or professional?
How is Linda running Genny down ?! That is a damn Teaser, you pathetic dumb, untelligent idiot ! Don't you get it ?! IT IS A TEASER ooooo. A lot of retards hanging around this Blog ! SMH !

ReplyDeleteanon 1:12am ur opinion is so lame,how can u compare genny wit lupita,stars are born not made,if genny is given d opportunity and exposure lupita have she will be a zlister were miss nnaji,for ur info genny is d future of nollywood she has gone far beyond any other actor in nollywood ,her acting skill is not acquired is inborn so deal with it,she is heading to d us box office watch out haters
Deleteu are biased im sure u are one of those haters kill urself naija is going higher movie wise and queen genny is better thsn lupita forget d hype lupita was given
Deletegenny will always be nigeria no 1 actress bcos she posseses what others dont have i cant wait to watch dis movie

DeleteLinda post my comment ooo..Nigerians don't like to hear d truth
ReplyDeleteIts a must watch!!!I can't wait
ReplyDeleteI trust her to deliver. She alwys does anyways
ReplyDeleteIsn't that d movie D banj used for his "Bother u" track?, so love that song. The video looks cool let's pray fr dem to break record and it's a nice move from chiwetel to involve naija artistes. Let's be recognised fr sthg better than stealing n killing abroad, Oh Lord hear our prayer! Amen. But then again Genny is classy Buh Mercy J is naijas best actress tho, jus saying.
ReplyDeleteExcusé moi mais, quelle est catégorie Chiwtel?

She puts herslf into d movie. Her diction her acts are clear. Queen ov box office she is. Am waitin in anticipation for d movie.
ReplyDeleteFLONIGA
Whether they deliver or not, it's not their problem. There's something called market research; I'm sure the producers did their homework in that regard.
ReplyDeleteThey should just be worried about PIRACY.
* My R1.50c comment *
Of cos they will deliver well
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to watch that movie.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the movie,oc ikeji appeared just in only one short screen,the three scenes Genevieve appeared in she did d same thing,sitting and smoking,onyeka onwenu was the person that tried a whole lot,Gloria young too did well,Tina MBA appeared in only two or three scenes,zack orji and wole ojo,only one eating scene.the movie is not all that,but a little different from what we have been seeing,that is all I can say
ReplyDeleteMy O.C is sure goin to.deliver
ReplyDeleteYou will be dissapointed ,cos she came out in only one scene,spoke ibo and left,and that was the part that they were trying to run away from the war,they used a biafran documentary to fill the movie,its only one scene that they used real soldiers led by hakeem kae kasim
DeleteHey!! my main man Chiwe will be in Niger this weekend... A dream come true...
ReplyDeletePls oooo I love lupita since she's making africa proud but I didn't see and still can't see the wonder she displayed in 12 years a slave ooooo except that she went naked! My opinion sha
ReplyDeleteWoh is really a must watch. Can't wait to see it .
ReplyDeleteShe's good @ what she does.... Kudos to them..

Sorry..you are wrong Chiwetel lived in Nigeria until the age of 11-12 years, when he left Nigeria after surviving an accident in a car with his father, unfortunately he lost his father in the accident. We should all try to write positive things about our country, this is the only way we can develop and make progress...Making assumptions does not help any one..Aunty Linda i rest my case..
She will not only deliver but prove that Nigeria has great talent. Genevieve is not known as the best actress for nothing. The girl is too good and has talent. She has never disappointed us in the past and will definitely not start now. Go Genny!!!
ReplyDeleteGenny all d wayyyy!!! Cnt miss 25th for anything oo, jus lil sad dere didn't give her d lead role or d oda savvy twin since its our history for I knw she wuld ve had a standing ovation cos I see her in dat character..but it's well sha she is recognised dats wat counts now..letgo silverbird!! Cnt wait hehehe
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I like the triller, it's different from what we have been seeing(that's one).
ReplyDeleteThough, it's just a triller Ms.Gennie's act is something o except iif we wan lie( did u get the reaction the other lady gets when she spoke....)
Mama Onyeka too, those are natural and fantastic delieverance ( have you noticed...)
I won't but mention Chiwatala's act too, afantastic actor he is no doubts but that's accent is an A+++ for him( it show's that he might be a british but he never forgot his origine, kudos to his parents and to every parent out there, our heritage is our future)
Personally, I think they will deliver, peace out!!!

Why do we Nigerians always have to fight to make a point. Forgive me for preaching but what's wrong with respecting each other's opinions without the cursing and personal abuse/attack. Nigeria is a beautiful country and we are the only ones that can bring that to light. Let's think about celebrating us rather than always shining the light on our inadequacy as a nation. Just thought I should add my two penny or should I say two kobo???
