Just watched Genevieve Nnaji on CNN a few minutes ago talking about the missing Chibok girls, and she was very articulate. Some of what she said below...
"Everyone is involved .We are all mothers, we are all humans and these are young girls that have been taken to captivity. As celebrities, we thought it was our responsibility to shed light and bring to the forefront this inhumane act."
"For me I think it will be unfair to say they (the federal govt) were slow to react because nobody knew whether they reacted or not. The thing is we we weren't told, we didn't know if they were aware of the situation or not. The major problem we had was the lack of communication. We just wanted them to react to us. Now we can see things being put in place, now we can see effort being made and that will be credited to the noise that's been made, the campaigning that's been made around the world. We are grateful for all the attention." Continue...
CNN: Does she welcome foreign support?
"This has been going on way too long and there's no shame asking for help and in taking it. The truth is, terrorism is not only our problem, it's not a continent problem, it's a global issue and we all have to come together to help it because at the end of the day this is a breach of human rights and it should concern each and everyone of us.

My babe is always on point with her English!just love this girl.
On and on behalf of nollywood
Nicely said Gen
we welcome the external help
God pls let the girls be found intact
Watched the interview as well. However I believe that the words she spoke needed to be that way because As a celebrity, she needs to be 'politically correct'. Her thoughts though, in my opinion did not exactly echo that of the citizenry
You go fear how max Foster pronounced her surname..Linda bebe dis your tele dikwa very huge...
Genny in as much as I luv u to d moon and bak, I disagree wit u on dis one, wat do u mean it will be unfair to say de react to it on time and weren't told? Genny its beta u dnt evn utter a word on dis if u had known dis wat u'll say......u dnt want dem politicians to be angry abi! Den keep it shut. Luv u still.
Am still waiting for Lupita to lend her voice.. She is African.. And Nigerians hyped her for d oscars buh d gurl doesnt even care!!!
Great one from superstar
Hmmmmmmmmmm? Me I dnt understand dis babe oooo hw will she say communication was d problem.
My baby has spoken. ..
Beauty and brain. That was a beautiful response. Quiet but very influential . Chi
Watched the interview as well. However I believe that the words she spoke needed to be that way because As a celebrity, she needs to be 'politically correct'. Her thoughts though, as regards FG response, in my opinion, does not exactly echo that of the citizenry. Quite a good interview I must say.
Someone dat did her own #BringBackOurGirls Campaign today... Abegi make we hear word
Linda u prob'ly saw Labaran Maku nd CNN's Isha Sesay! Serzly did he actually go to school? He was outsmart by dat grl. Lol, telln d host of d show it ws nice having you!
Ok she just had to go all the way to cNN, she just enjoys being different... You've done noble, we see you.
Well said! 1st tym I'll agree wit Linda on Genny's issue..
I watched it.she tried in her response.in your haste to quickly post the news,you didn't do a spell check Linda.
You need to stop this.you forgot to turn off your flash.you took the tv screen.
Sgouls Linda? Common!
As for Genny, keep it up.
Hey Dedensin Dencia, take a cue. This iss what real celebs say, and not gibberish like you keep saying. I'd not blame you. You've bleached so badly that it's affecting your thought process.
Exactly there is no shame asking for help.
Also watched Wole Soyinka's own.
am with her in this. it not wrong to ask for help once in a while. terrorism is d world greatest enemy and I think everybody shd join hands to fight it and we shoyld stop blaming d government always. osama bin laden terrorised america and bombed it no american blamed their president for that. in this matter united we stand but divided we will not only fall but fade out. thanks genny nice and calculative statements
Spoke well
That was what she was told to write...yeye old woman. How can u say that....the only person that stood up for this was stella damascus.and now u say u dnt know if d gov were aware of the situation or not. You are such a dump head for allowing people manipulate u....fucking faggot.
Exactly wat she said.I watched the interview too.she was factual !
True dhat! We deff can't do it on our own
Watched it...She sounded very ATIKUlate.
Jenny please make this ppl find you come put bomb for our estate
Even when it is so clear to see! What a disgrace? What do you mean lack of communication? Ofcourse I forgot you get brown envelopes! Sick
nicely said ms nnaji.... welldone

Good one my icon, well spoken. People should be free to exercise their civic right. #BringBackOurGirls.
Linda at least edit the spelling before u post naa. Or u can hire me as ur editor jor so i can make ur blog 'queens standard'. For free, lol. Gene's PR or PA seems to be doing a good job. And this closeup handle nonsense, its making me not to click well. LINDAAAAA if u like dunt post mai comment bcos closeup has paid u fat money.
She spoke quite brilliantly,thought she would av gone there and start doubting the girls were kidnapped
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Lindi, edit edit edit! Its 'soul' and not 'sgoul'. Thank me later!
This is the most beautiful and sexy nollywood actress of all time. The rest na wannabes

Oh how warming that see and hear the face of Nigeria movies express her very correct and current security situtation of her beloved nation security situation, which I personally believe as one of the best voice lending that have gone a longer way of presenting her nation to the world as it should be noted that what her country is facing is a world problem and no need of be ashamed that her country ask for help as it will also benefit the world by dealing with her own problem(Boko Haram) which I say she has done well...Well done screen godness.
What do they mean no plans to send US troops to Nigeria??! Abi wetin them write for screen? I thot they said they already did? Plus news making d rounds dat dey have already caught 2 people? *bbmconfusedface*
Gbam,my superstar speaks, she said the truth,very intelligent response
My lady is always representing. Thanks for the support in the campaign of bringing our girls back.

Oh yeah. . .imagine the bloody hypocrite trying to be in the middle-neither supporting the govt nor the girls. To hell with you, another election is by the corner, she will be in the campaign train of the drunkard from otueke, so she is being carefull.

I LOVE GENEVIEVE!!
Trust ma girl Genie to always be articulate, tell em hun but next time don't cover up 4 our fucked up government...
...Well said, Geny
And what does Linda Ikeji have to say on this Chibok ish? We're yet to hear from you.
Linda how can you classify her garbage as articulate?
Genevieve is a FOOL and should shut up her rat infested mouth. When the girls where kidnapped, Genevieve and her so called raz celebrities where attending weddings around the world including the wedding of GEJ daughter where they all got the gold plated phones with our coat of arms on it.
The ordinary people in Nigeria has brought this atrosity to light.
The vast majority of the Nigerian celebrities jumped on the wagon this week. Afterall it took her (bff) the president 3 whole weeks to respond. Useless fool.
I tot they said d bh leader has been captured already by d U S. Army...yet I'm seeing a different thing on d CNNs screen...chi zobakwa anyi ooo
Beauty with brains... very well said, my love for u jst increased by 101%... # thumbsup#... # teamGenevieve#
Nice one genny girl.... Hopefully tins will b resolved soon.
Very dumb responses, devoid of any intellectual input. Mama peace would have sounded smarter.
Genny was a disappointment, she was trying too hard to be political correct
Genne is everywhere o
Shut the fuck up. Not everyday sleep with politicians. How can you say "It is unfair to say they were slow to react because we do not know whether they did.."???? Are you mad or just ignorant? Did the parents hear anything?? Why shouldn't we be informed?? Just shut the entire fuck up. To think I rated you.
I wasn't happy with her response, it wasn't honest and I feel it's because she didn't want to offend those in power so she can get juicy contracts or appointment in future.
Acting skills!
~D great anonymous!
Ok..Al dese must surely cum 2an end 1day..(Amen)#DereisGod#
Na your pman dey make noise, Genny.... You must be stupid to refer the protest as noise. How I wished your daughter was among those abducted. You wouldn't have called it noise. Stupid Genny, go trade your daughter....Afterone, Modafoka Assole.... You gave birth to her out of wedlock and I should have realized a long time ago that you lack all it takes to be a real God's approved mother before answering your damn self vocal. Single moda as Linda dey like call am.
Sin is a reproach no matter how small, yu that bribe ur way into the university or block lecturer or the policeman taking. #20 or the girl killing a baby in the womb or the pastor putting his wife away and marrying another woman or the leaders stealing nation's money these amongst others brought reproach repent and then pray for peace and thenn see wat happens, if u lik bring the whole. World's army they can only solve the. Present issue only christ can deal with all issues and bring everlasting peace. Righteousness exhorts a nation! thank yu
lindiway,lindodo,u dey fall my hand ooo,na phone u dey use capture from tv now,nice comments from miss genny
Articulate? No! Diplomatic? Yes!
Well said,Genny. Great wiisdom! I just like you!
You call this gibberish, articulate?
Genevieve should shut-up-her-cavity-infested- mouth.
When the girls were kidnapped, Genevieve and her so called celebrity friends where attending Jonathan's daughter's wedding where they all received gold-plated iPhones with the Nigerian Government Coat of Arms. They were attending celebrity weddings around the world.
Google will not lie.
When did she speak out against the kidnappings?
Her own good friend, the president only spoke about it 3 weeks after the event.
They just did not care period!!!
We may now have hundreds of gals pregnant, infected with HIV AND AIDS and so may other diseases and she can look into the Camera Lenses of CNN and LIE.
Genevive and the raz celebrities trying to minimise this atrosity should go and bury their head in SHAME. Useless Fools.
That's my girl. Beauty and brains. God bless you.
Well said Jenny... Facts coined out of wisdom
GOD BLESS OUR ANGEL
Genny I love ur sense of reasoning,nobdy is above askin 4 help,BH has bin lingering since 2009 n I think dis is der end becs daris god n he has bin watching.ur IQ differs 4rm oder celebs.God help nig.
Well said eve...
Miss Nnaji...kindly shut up and face your acting
Where is the minister for women affairs? What has she done so far? No one is even mentioning her name cos she's a northerner. Isn't she supposed to protect Nigerian women. She's in on the game. She's aware of her brothers plan. Northerners are idiots. Playing polititics with peoples life. And as usual women r always d victim. HAJIA ZAINAB MAINA and BUHARI PLS BRING BACK OUR GIRLS FROM WHEREVER U KEPT THEM. Mumu northern goats, Nigeria is for everyone and anyone could be a president. What we need is to come together as one and vote for the right person and I repeat the right person could be of any tribe. Northerners should get a life and understand that Nigeria belongs to all and that's high time they stop being a puppet for the British malice brain game of years back. VIVA
Terrorism is truely a global issue.
I just lost all respect for this woman, what is she trying to say....
Gene I love u bt I nor see anything wa u talk here o! Bt meanwhile #bringbackourgirls#
Thank u jare Gene, u talk better tin, not like stupid Dencia, that is saying they should stop the d protest on the missing girls. I no blame am sha
Nice 1 Genevieve "there's no shame asking 4 help and taking it"......very correct
9ja boi says so via Nokiatouchlight#
Dats my genny...on point
NELLY ABARE
Yes. I saw the interview. She talked like someone with brains.. Not like Our Minister of Information that was Smiling and Talking like a Comedian.. He was Even Scared.
This is how a sensible, reasonable fellow should talk.you can't hold her to any of her words. Hope you learnt a few thing Linda.
She actually nailed it right on the head. This issue is more than a nation's its more of the continents. Terrorism is everywhere but how the governments of the country handles it is what matters.
For the Nigerian government, its more about the size of their stomach than the lives of the innocents.
We really do need some real young educated people in there.
Right now its all full of illiterates with no idea whatsoever on how to govern. Illiteracy is a huge epidemical issue affecting all the members of the government in Nigeria right now. Phew only God knows when the cure will arrive.
No be ur fault na,shebi u dey chop PDP money,girls ar missing for 26 days now,u dey say rubbish.go sleep joor!fed.govt action too slow chai!
Very well said Genny. D protest helped. Alot,we will get there #bringbackourgirls
Quite diplomatic. . . . Hmmm
GENNEVIEVE YOUR ANSWERS IS TOTAL CRAP. HOW CAN YOU SAY WE DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY WERE AWARE OF THE SITUATION OR NOT..".. WHAT INHUMANE ANSWER TO A TIME LIKE THIS. If you are CLEARLY AVOIDING GETTING ON GOVERNMENT BAD BOOK THEN DON'T SHOW UP AT THE INTERVIEW LEAST OF ALL TALK RUBBISH.... JUST RESPECT YOUR 35 YEARS ON THIS EARTH BEFORE WE CALL YOU OUT. NOOOOOOOONSENSE
Genevive no wan talk true. Babe u r kissing politicians' ass. Babe don't piss me off, stop this rubbish. Say d truth as it is, no need to beat around d bush. That's why I like people like ecetera, he says whateva he wants to say and won't give a Damn.
Anonidiot! Is dat d only tin she said?????? Say d truth u ass licker!!!!!!! U musnt praise her evn if u luv her. Smh!
No mattar what am proud to be a Nigerian !
Well done the face of Africa movies, She has lend the most important voice needed by her nation after spending just two days in peace after America armys landed...I say well done screen godness you have done well among your pals.
Oga there was nothing wrong with her response. You don't wash your dirty linen outside. Did u think that d pple that were asking her d questions do not know what is happening ? Mumu somebodi, oforaeje..
Hazeez,welcome here with ur hatred in Genny, frustrated he goat like u
Will u shut that your dirty mouth. You expect her to be running mouth like a he goat that you are. You think it's easy to be a celebrity....mumu, gboloko
Lol! Lin is prolly angry @ d lie she told dere even wen she knows d truth! It happens to evrybody wen angry so chill chika!

U have done well.
All I can say to u I "JEALOUSY"
God bless Nigeria! #bringbackourgirls# gbam!!!
Very sickening!
Anony u no no book oh! Spoken! Not spoke! Dnt tnk me pls!!!!!!!!
Why are u cussing. Can't u just drop ur comment and move on? Genny is on CNN, who knows u? Go and jump into the lagoon if e dey pain u. Gosh! Haters gon hate mehn!
Simply admit u dnt know d spelling. Its articulate!
I totally agree with her, one of the reason the government could not overlook this incident was because of the media attention given to it. This just shows the power of the media and how effective it can be when properly used. I also like her response to the second question. I pray the girls are found.
She's tryna lie, get laid n paid! Genny is a bitch!
Genny let dem hate u let dem insult u as 4 me u r d best nd u will stil remain d best one sweet tin u did again I luv so much u did not say bad abt out president# if it were sum of our celeb dey will insult gej# go on baby I luv u screen goddess of african dat is will oprah wifery called u agelina jolie of african# u too much!
wow, if only she cares about what you think. you sound like a nobody
In your mind now articulate is the opposite of diplomatic abi?
Nice one anon 9:41pm. Atiku used product lool I gatchu
Read what u wrote! Total rubbish. M sure u don't understand urself. Read and correct #thankmeNow
Seriously, Genevieve said nothing. And she defended d federal govt so blindly and foolishly. Hw can u say that it seems they were nt aware of d situation. Which situation are u talking about?an ugly incident that happened in her country. Why won't they be aware? Again, u talked abt communication. Don't even understand dt ur point.
U would ve remained at d back campaigning than speakin up and talking trash. Silence is golden most times.
Nw, even d federal govt won't be happy with u though u tried covering them up cos u ended up exposing them cos it nw seems dt they care less of their citizens.
Anyway, which is true. Hence, u achieved ntin in ur interview. U contributed ntin too. U wanted to be noticed worldwide but u ended up disgracing urself.
Seriously, u need to learn hw to grant an interview.
You don't insult people ok! Why didn't yoou make urself available so that CNN will interview you? Hell is meant for sinners!
Why do people like this like creating fight where there is non, face the real issur here anonymous
Abi ooh. Some people will not like it cos she did not insult the president or abuse Bigerians.
I know u r a daft. Did d govt communicate to the citizens that they r reacting to it???
Nigeria is ur country it's rather wrong to wash ur dirty linen in public. At a point were we not informed that they ve been released?
Genevieve for the first time in her career released a press statement titled #BringBackOurGirls – Genevieve Nnaji: “Enough of these Setbacks” on May 1st. Pls be sure before u speculate.
You and I know it's a political war and we are obviously not dealing with humans. Give the lady some credit
Very objective and inspiring, a patriot citizen. Such is the kind we need in this nation...
R u sane?
Very objective and inspiring, a patriot citizen. Such is the kind we need in this nation...

genny has always been smart. love hjer response
Where does she stand? Wearing the #Bring back our girls then trying to be defensive of the government as well. Genny please go sit down, keep quite and keep taking your allowances from the same government.

Adaora or whatever u are d bigger fool here... so bcus those girls got missing GEJ shud cancel the weeding that has been fixed n enter bush to look for d girls shey? Some ppl can really not reason well.. see that name Adaora doesn't fit u... y ar our soldiers paid? If I may ask? If they can't find d missing girls.u all are just waiting for d day Gej will carry cutlass n declare himself looking for d girls den all of u will know he is trying n doing his best... adaora u ar a disgrace.
Ibu okpo cus ur next 20 generation can't even finish her money... mumu
Ibu okpo... for calling her a bitch cus she is way better dan ur ashole mother... fool
Babe I love u jorr... u just spoke my mind
Nice one my Lady, you are always on point. #Bringbackourgirls
Omotola should take several seats behind,Genevieve rules
these boko haram people have been doing this for long and its no longer funny, they graduated from bombing churches to bombing large gathering ad naw to kidnapping of girls and dats bad....the govt should really do something about it
I didn't watch the interview but Genevieve's response was too naive in my opinion. It's been over 3wks and enough time for anyone to make a clear assessment on the issue. Being objective doesn't mean she'd be slandering GEJ and his regime. The president didn't react well in this situation. He showed no immediate concern neither was he seen consoling the mothers, it took him almost 3wks to establish a "fact finding" committee which raises the question, what facts where they trying to find when the girls are still missing. Our government was slow to react as well as incompetence in such issues hence the help from the US and others. We don't need to use insults to be objective. But vague responses don't help anyone in the future. If GEJ and his wife are already blaming the principal of the school as well as the governor of Borno then in same approach people have the duty to ask about the government's own efforts.
God bless you. No It is not abt yabbin GEJ but it was jst too obvious she was tryin 2 play safe.
Watched it. She spoke intelligently.
This chick is an air head. They couldn't find Joke Silva or Kate henshaw or some intelligent Naija actress to speak about this topic. No good vocabulary, she couldn't even reason properly. No thoughts or idea. It just only demeans nigerian women even more.-
...because your lady and yourself are both unintelligent airhead. She is just a pretty face. No intelligence, listen to her responses- as I was embarrassed for her....to expose herself on such international platform without much deep thoughts.
Time most influential omotola has a better command of English and can reason better than this bimmmbo. This is the continuation of Nigerians celebrating mediocrity. Overrated genny.
lin LIn i no say libers no go show genny mercy dat interview as i see am e get as e be o wen i re watch am again miss nnaji was struggling with answers to the questions thrown at her i no say grammar no be our language o but she was also struggling with her diction any how we thank God say our genny enter cnn and not poko
Ok! Sometimes this comment ssection can be so interesting eh! =))˚˚°ÂºÐ½aĦaнaº°˚˚=))
Is our government not doing anything to return this girls to their respective parents.
Nigeria I hail thee...
this geneveve makes me sick. where has she been ann the while wen others were protesting? of course she cant blame the govt na. bloody ass licker
which yeye way?after fucking all the politicians? yeye runs girl. abeg go and marry jare
she only did her own campain today and she is making mouth. abeg make she commot road
whats wrong with this overrated runs girl?
thunder fire u for even attempting to compare this secondary school dropout with omotola. they are miles apart. she even lied on tv. bloody ass licking federal runs girl
idocy at its fullest. she couldnt speak against those that pay for her runs nau. yeye dey smell
And her speech, not articulate, as social-climber Linda Ikeji insists. Linda help your self-esteem and stop boot-licking; you really do not need to. #ha.
How can she bad mouth a govt she's gaining financially from via bedmatics?
Well GEJ gave her a national award,she'll definitely defend the govt. U guys wna bet dbanj wud b getting one soon?
Good one.
Thank God they did not use omotola for this interview!! She is so full of herself and arrogant!
May God bless her ...Amen
