Charles Novia compares Omotola and Genevieve's acting skills...
While congratulating Omotola for her National Award honour which she received yesterday, movie producer and opinionated writer Charles Novia compared Omotola and Genevieve's acting skills, saying Omotola has more depth in acting than Genevieve. Read below and see if you agree with him.
Omotola
Jalade-Ekeinde is known to many. Her acting prowess is arguably in a
class by itself and her being nominated as one of the world's 100 most
influential persons by TIME magazine a couple of years back must have
paved the way for her present national recognition by the Federal
Government. Frankly speaking, I personally think she has more depth in
acting than her 'rival' Genevieve Nnaji. I have worked with both of them
in the past and also studied their acting styles. Omotola has the gift
of role immersion. She gives everything into her characters. There is an
organic style of interpretation she is gifted with. Very few actors
have that. She Is not a Method Actor, mind you but she has delivered
roles which many method actors would give her a standing ovation for.
What he says about Genevieve after the cut...
Genevieve
Nnaji, on the other hand, is a fantastic actress and a trend - setting
one too who was first honoured by Mr President a couple of years ago.
But she lacks the intrinsic ability to evolve artistically beyond her
present heights in her career. That is my opinion. There is an
underlying stereotype in her interpretation of her roles in many of her
movies; a linear aloofness and veiled disdain at the thought of being
pushed further down the exploratory lane. Of course she has an uncanny
screen presence which generally veils her artistic shortcomings when it
comes to acting and between her and her rivals, she comes tops on the
fan base list. However, with an attitude which seems to say she has
nothing more to prove, even the fans would become restless if new
artistic exploits are not offered from her to which they can beat their
chests.
And for fans of both actresses, this is a professional
review of their acting abilities and not an attempt to rekindle old
rivalries. Somehow, this post on the National Honours dove tailed into
their artistry. All well and good.
Please who is this man.????? Am not a fan of nigerian film industry so probably I still don't know or heard of the movies he has produced. »»»»»»QUEENMAYA»»»»»

Mr Novia.....am not a fan of yours in any way but on this,i support your views 100%,what Genny has going for her is her screen presence and nothing but Omotola is in a world of her own
Charles novia busy body. who send you. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, stop throwing yours on our face. Both are great actors and if one is honored, its a thing of joy not a moment of comparison.
Genevieve is a lot better than omotola, so don't go about speaking big grammer. The fact she selects her movies its her choice, cause u producers re wack.
We all av rite to speech, he has stated his own view bt as 4 me, I don't agree wit him. Av watched a lot of omotola n genny's movie n both of dem r fantastic in deir own way, bringing deir characters to life... My own view is dat dey unique in deir own way..
Hmmmm i think i agree with him....yeah..but what about Mercy Johnson? she is my number 1 right now.....Omotola , cant forget my best movie of her " All My Life"
why drawing a parallel btwn the two?It's extremely childish. Both are good and have both excelled in their carriers. This is how they look for trouble Oh!
Yes yes yes! 100% correct about my boo Genevieve's acting abilities. He hit the nail on the head with the words "aloof", "veiled disdain" which seems to permeate every role she interprets.
I totally agree! I totally love Genevieve - anyday, any time. But Omotola beats her hands down when it comes to role interpretation. But who says you must be an excellent actor to be a superstar? hehehe. Case study...Kristen Stewart!
I don't understand what u re saying Mr. Charles Novia, but all I know is that they both re gifted...in their own ways.....Omotola is good i must confess bcos she puts in her best, Geny too is good her calmness is speaking for her too in acting...so they re both gifted in their own ways and it is God who has made it so..so no more comparison...
Charles Novia always thinks he knows it all.... Am not here to condemn or praise anyone but he Charles seems to enjoy seeing people quarrel over nothing. I have read his critics in the past among which is that he wrote on Dorogucci.....he is just a graduate without portfilio seeking to be noticed. SIMPLY said I rest my case
I totally agree with Charles Novia. not hating but Genevieve has "this" coldness and distain about her in practically all her films no matter the role she plays which makes it difficult watching any film she features in. she seems so haughty and yes fake. again not hating just stating a fact.
Well for me i just like Gene for who she is I love her stature more. Mr Novia make you go search the meaning of favour and grace. One might not be the best but when grace and favour locate you YO GO WHAO. one more thing there is always room for improvement
Charles novia abii na naval,,,ur rubbish saying is now taking another dimension...why bring two rivals to comparism??? U want dem to start using words on each other or what? U dey mad ni??? U jux want to stay rellevant we all know dat. But be very careful. Linda dnt use my comment to snap pix in dubai ooooo...
Charles Novia who send you work? It's obvious you are biased. Anyway, Genevieve is my lady nay day anytime. not hating on Omosexy though. she knows her onions.
These are two fantastic movie talents,I like the way they carry their selves and they are very humble Genevive I have seen so many times and she'nt proud. Kudos...Earl.
Genevieve was first honoured by Federal Govt before Omotola. However I will say congratulations to both Omosexy and Genny.
But to you, CHARLES NOVIA, you are just a spectator who should be ashamed of yourself of not being honoured by the federal govt and hence went further in writing story that nobody asked you to write, an undertaking that could cause enmity again between the two friends/actresses and their millions of fans. So try and face your business so that you also will be recognised for national honour like Omosexy and Genny. STOP CREATING PROBLEMS OUT OF YUR IDLENESS!
That's a fact , I know her fans will not accept but it's the truth oge okoye funke akindele queen nwokoye Rita Dominic monalisa chinda Chika Ike nse ikpim are better role and character interpreters than Genevieve but lets say Genevieve's had a lucky bright star more like her destiny is good
Exactly! This is always my exact point of view whenever my friends and I are arguing about these two talented women. This is exactly what i always say. Omotola possess the ability to enter the characters. She connects herself emotionally to the characters whereas Genevieve is lacking in this area. her acting can be rather bland. it's like there's a surface through which she doesn't want to penetrate or something.
I have jst 1 word 4 Charles Novia: Grow up! If u ve a beef wif Genevieve, man up n take it 2 her. Don't rely on d shoulders of d crowd 4 comfort. U've known dis 4 yrs u imply, y bring it up now? 2 d actresses, u both rock in ur own ways. No need in comparison.
Apparently, Charles Novia prefers Omotola's acting skills to Genevieve's'. Personally, I have nothing to say concerning the comparison, except for the fact that I hope Charles is not being segregative, because if he is, that would be the height of immaturity on his part as a High class Movie director that he is. Peaceoshoko@gmail.com
I never comment on your blog Linda! but Charles Novia needs to go and hide somewhere whats the point of this write-up??? really! Kmt..irrelevant man trying to stay famous with silly articles..
I prefer genny to omotola...buh who asked him to compare them. as their characters differs or varies so is their acting skills and productivity dnt see a ned 4 dis...abeg he shud go take up a script lets compare him sami loco.
whatever artistic evaluation you think you are making, if it doesnt sum up to fans feeling satisfied with the interpretation of a role, then u r talking jargon...
allthat english and grammar cannot confuse fans..sorry
Genevieve will always be a far better actress than omotala...
i always believe omotala got there becos shes beautiful too...simple
Even though he means well and his assertions bearing linings of truth, no good will come from this friendly critique. What it will succeed in doing is involving fans from both sides in a head lock which in turn might spill onto both actresses. this is playing with fire on his part.
Mehn Charles is so on point.... Very sad but true.. Genny is stereotyped and i honestly think she needs to take challenging roles. She needs to go out of her box... Genny true fans and in depth movie lovers knows this.
Omotola and Geneveive are two different individual with different acting skills, there is no way their acting could be thesame. They are both good at what they do and I see no reason for comparing them. pedrotoki80@yahoo.com
"However, with an attitude which seems to say she has nothing more to prove, even the fans would become restless if new artistic exploits are not offered from her to which they can beat their chests". Can genevieve's fans deny that line is not true? Genny's has failed to up her acting game, she is a star and remains one of the best actresses we have, but Omotola beats her in this.. I agree with Charles...
Charles Novia, you clearly praised Omotala while bringing Genevieve down! U didn't tell us Omotala's flaws but u detailed Genny. Why bring in Genevieve if u want to pay homage to Omotala? Is it necessary?
Couldn't have said it better. Not a big fan of either of them, although they're both great actresses, but I definitely agree that there's always a certain 'aloofness' about Genevieve's character in her movies.
I agree 100% I have not see Genevieve evolve as much as Omotala has. It would be nice to see Genevieve more as an actress and less as a "celebrity". Quite similar to Jim Iyke who never evolved from Mr bad guy rough campus boyfriend. Compare him to Yul Edochie or Tony Umez.....you can't stay a campus boyfriend forever ...grow, evolve!
I love Genevive and thinks she's such a great actress, but I can't relate to Mr Novia. I see her veiled disdain to b pushed further. On the other hand, congrats OmoSexy!! - the queen bubbles
Honestly i hate to see anyone compare these two women. Vote Linda Ikeji as the Most Active Blogger of the year. www.socialmediameritawards.com/vote.php
He is right he's not downgrading genny she iS a wonderful actor too but omotala is super I'm not a fan of both, ........ok go n watch queen of Aso rock, is a good film not an old film cos we have good n bad film to me, not old n new. .............omotala can act wella once again congrats to her. Genny u rock
I started reading but felt like slapping Charles Novia the moment I saw 'rivals' in that article. Bia, respect yourself Mr. Novia and don't create sh** where there's none. Judgmental chief judge.
Charles you're just an attention seeker, what's your claim to fame? I guess it's your job to cast aspersions on people who have achieved what you can only dream of. The other day it was Don Jazzy's dorobucci, now it's Genevive. Why don't you face your inept government and decry the decadent situation of things in the country, rather than hating on other people's achievements. Guess you're the best movie producer out there, yet I'm the only one who knows you. Since you're mr know it all how come you own a record label and yet none of your artists is known. Oh I get it, you ain't got no job as the Americans say. Hence you've taken it upon yourself to mind other people's business and sow discord between colleagues. I think you need to get a life mister.
They re both screen divas, i luv both of dem, but apart 4rm acting, i prefer Omotola, its rare to see a famous, beautiful celeb still in her marriage (guess she is lucky) but dis man dnt go nd start fire of rivalry btw dis too biko...all is well...#Nifemi#
Yes I agree! Totally agree! Though they are both at their best but OMOTOLA is better,GENEVIEVE is overrated,I still prefer MERCY JOHNSON & FUNKE AKINDELE acting 2 GENEVIEVE.
Hmmm!!! I like both actresses however I think Genievive has better diction than Omotola though Omotola is hotter looks-wise. However in terms of both good acting skills, delivery and good looks etc. Nse Ikpe Etim beats them hands down followed by Mercy Johnson (surprisingly).
Abeg shut up, who ask u? Why dis nonsense? No respect 4 u again, u talki 2 much n behave like a market woman. All ds ur grammar didn't get u award. Hiding ur face 4 not receiving award abi? Who no u sef. Mind ya bizness.

Well written. I had seen this long ago but, the ride or die genevieve fans will beg to differ. Such shortsightedness, really. Its not about rivalry. Genny is too stiff and is never spontaneous or flexible. They will be sure to ignore that his last paragraph anyway.
this charles novia of a man na big goat. you obviously have something against genny at the moment but this does not give you the right to put this write up on public media. it is uncalled for. if you want to praise omotola, do so and do not compare her with genny. they have different gifts
His Genevieve analysis is correct and I finally have in words why I get bored with her acting.
I have overdosed as a fan on her acting and can now predict her reaction on a number of circumstances. I still will watch her movie over any other actress because I just like her not because she's good - Same goes for Jennifer Aniston.
BTW just watched Omotola's excellence in "Ties that Bind" - film with american actress Kimberly Elise.
I cudnt Agree more, can remember a movie where Omotola was acting as an old lady, she did so well dat d image of the stunning young lady wud leave ur mind, but Genny has limits, she's classy and quite reserved nd if d role she's playing doesn't fit her natural personality, u ll hardly find dat passion or fire in her work
There was no reason for him to do this, he's just seeking for unnecessary attention. And he's definitely gonna get it (backlash and all). With that said, now the cat is out of the bag, I agree with him completely. I've said the same thing for yearssss.... Genny with her sweet sweet face, and style ain't a great actress! She just has a certain packaging. Omotola on the other hand is an ACTRESS after I watched "blood sisters", Genny was playing a blind girl and she looked directly at Tony Umez, that was the final straw for me. Then Ije, Genny was good in that movie, but omotola was SENSATIONAL!
Linda please whats is this man saying, Is he related to that Hon. Patrick ni, the man sha like to talk sha, all this talk talk never land am MON oh..call_me_zlatan@yahoo.com
This man is obviously disturbed. I am a movie fan, more hollywood than nollywood though, but I have seen many nollywood movies too, and I must say that Geneveive's acting prowess is matchless. Genevieve, nse, rita Dominic and mercy johnson are the best I have seen in Nollywood. Omotola is not so good an actress but I tink her beauty after four kids has created a huge fanbase for her. I amm not a fan of either actresses but mr. Novia's judgement is very shallow and unapparent.
Awards don't make an actor, It is acting that makes an actor. The top 3 natural actors in our movie industry to me are RMD, Ramsey, Genevive.
They bring acting to you naturally, Omotola is good, but is far less natural than Genevive. In terms of real acting, they should not be compared. Genny is far better.
Genny is my no 1. Ewu gambia n'acho soo okwu n'uka. How do you write like this and expect their fans not to come at each other? biko keep ur opinion to urself cus it won't add money to their bank accounts. How about writing on how Charles novia is doing in regards to improving his skill?? Lets read about you more n stop using others to shine.
Well said. I thought I was the only one with the same opinion. Genny is contained. You can't push her beyond a certain limit whereas Omotola is outstanding.
They are both good buh I think he is trying 2 help omotola... with all dese awards & PR most ppl still hold genevieve in higher esteem when it comes to acting... and I think dat proves him wrong.
Professional review indeed. I wonder why an old man like charles Novia won't find better things to do than instigate more rivalry between 2 Actresses that are minding their business. Oh, lest I forget, it's as a result of his joblessness. Rather than stay in the news by talking trash about people who are truly news worthy, you should work hard to earn the spotlight. Stop living on your expired past glory.
I totally agree with him. Though I am not a big fan of Nigeria home videos, I have watched both Omotola and Genevieve in action and i am drawn towards Omotola when it comes to interpreting roles. I like Genevieve as well but still see the same "thing" in her roles.
Charles Novia is talking like a stupid man? Why does he want to cause a serious war among us? I am ashamed of him....how can he be praising that yoruba woman? Genevieve has achieved more than Omotola that is why she is the Julia Roberts of Africa.
follow me on Twiter: @BornInBenin I will follow back if you mention me
He is a movie producer and has worked with two of them closely, so he may be right. But both artistes have their fans that can die for them anyday anytime. Me I'm neutral.
Mr. Charles Novia, Go and watch ije and listen to what the producer had to say about both actresses. You need help with this attention seeking disease that's eating you up.
My opinion, if I were u Mr charles, u would have just said that they are both good actresses, don't try to add salt to injuiry..ur just doing notice me[mtchwww]
Dats ur thots anyway an carried some weight but callin dem rivals a no no, there er colleagues, jus cos dere d bests among many doesn't make dem rivals an ve never, dey each ve deir fan bases, style etc so pls never use dat word to instigate a fire dat should never be in d 1st place..
genny is the best!! fuck charles novia and hos stupid movies. poor directing skills
said...
Charles novia is a bug fool. What's the comparison for tho? He likes to criticize people's work and yet Alan poza was a very bad movie, he ain't getin jobs so to him gennyyy is a way to limelight, Genevieve nnaji acts with so much class and realness that you don't see in most people in Nollywood, how can you compare the both. Comparing these two act is like comparing Nigeria to south Africa, dammit this guy is just as stupid as the word stupid is, Genevieve is so good, Charles novia thinks acting is all about shouting and all that shit, he should take several sits,well he is sitting already cos he ain't getin jobs. Stupid man, old fool. He should go and watch half of a yellow sun and see how gennyyy brought life to her character, u want to compare her to omotola, yes omotola is good but honestly there is nothing so special with her acting, genny is good and that's why he is great and Charles novia try and work first and be an A list director first b4 u start with your everyday madness, and lemme tell genny got more fans cos she is so good. go suck a dick. Washed out director. Olodo. U couldn't even maintain continuity in ur movie with oc ukejie's beards going on and off. That's how poor ur movie was... now go and die
Genny can't adequately play any character that is not aloof. She can't 'ugly' up. Omotola and Mercy are geniuses at conveying sorrow, dejection and fear.
Some things in life are unavoidable, like for instance: terrorism, unemployment,constant fuel increase, Kanye West narcist rants and Charles novia novice nosy gab.......... You can't act to save your life, neither does your mediocre movies have aNy significant impact to the gross domestic product of Nigeria. .... If you spend the considerable amount of time that you consume interfering on another persons issue, then maybe your movies and screen career would know better days... Can't stand this pos alwys feeling like the greatest thespian dt Nigeria have ever and can ever produce, someone gag me!! #cheEzyjayne
Please Linda post my comment biko. Charles jovial shod get a life after his failed career, leave genny and omo T alone please u are just jealousy or what honor or award have u got? Live ur life
i wonder why people see omoT and Genny as rivals, these two peeps started way long when Nollywood was Nollywood, in those days when OmoT acted in movies like Mortal inheritance, and Genny in a lot of movies with Pat attah, Emeka ike, Ramsay etc. they are both good actresses who have paid their dues in the industry, they worked so hard to get to where they are today, no two people are the same in everything, there has to be somes differences and some similarities, peopel see it as though there is competition, that OmoT was recognised as one of the most influential people in the world does not mean she is better than genny, and that genny was mentioned by Oprah Winfrey or recognised by GEJ does not make her better than omoT, people like Rita, Mercy J have all grown in the industry. i see no reason why people are quick to compare their acting prowess whenever any of them gets recognised. its no competition, they are not rivals.Charles Novia, don't even start now
a.k.a EDWIN CHINEDU AZUBUKO said... . Seriously this dude is a trouble maker and i dont think he needs to make up this write-up at first instance..... Eddreamzdreamer@gmail.com . . ***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
I concur. Inasmuch as I luv them both, omotola is very much more talented. I see the aloofness in genev roles, n hw sometimes she's quite unbelievable in some roles, if it's nt her usual hot, snubbish actor is dying for her roles, but of cos her charisma n hw did he put it...uncanny screen presence jst works for her, so big ups to her.
Absolutely right. Spot on! Omotola is more versatile and play different roles whereas genevieve even though good too is always aloof in her movies even if playing poor girl, rich girl, orphan, same emotion over and over again. Omotola gets my vote.
I have never posted a comment before on linda ikeji but as a Genevieve fan I have to say something. This is an insult, who is this stupid and crazy, idiot Charles. Does he have any degree in acting? or what? you trying to be relevant or what? Genevieve is a great actress with skills and whenever I watched her movies, she put me in a position where I feel the role she is portraying is so real. what kind of feeling is better than that??? please do us a favor, stupid and foolish Charles, shut the hell up. don't compare Genevieve to omotola!
Charles u have made quite a few valid points in d past but this is nonsense, u are just sitting on d sideline watching while they r in d game playing. This is totally OP (off point)
Person go think say he "charles novia" knows anything about acting. Instead of congratulating someone he must compare n mention names. "Worst" he hasn't done one thing that I can manage, let alone like!
What unprofessional display of character! What is the honest reason behind this write up? What international certifications allows U the luxury of doing this? Why should we not believe you are trying to pass a personal message with this very distastefully-faulted write up.
Take caution Mr. Novia and shut that proud trap of yours. your a Skill-analyzer professor now baa?
Genevieve and Omotola...my respect for you both remain equal...no further comments!

Your comment will be visible after approval
Yes yes yes! 100% correct about my boo Genevieve's acting abilities. He hit the nail on the head with the words "aloof", "veiled disdain" which seems to permeate every role she interprets.
I totally agree! I totally love Genevieve - anyday, any time. But Omotola beats her hands down when it comes to role interpretation. But who says you must be an excellent actor to be a superstar? hehehe. Case study...Kristen Stewart!
Like u said your opinion.. rachea95@gmail.com
I don't understand what u re saying Mr. Charles Novia, but all I know is that they both re gifted...in their own ways.....Omotola is good i must confess bcos she puts in her best, Geny too is good her calmness is speaking for her too in acting...so they re both gifted in their own ways and it is God who has made it so..so no more comparison...
Charles Novia always thinks he knows it all.... Am not here to condemn or praise anyone but he Charles seems to enjoy seeing people quarrel over nothing. I have read his critics in the past among which is that he wrote on Dorogucci.....he is just a graduate without portfilio seeking to be noticed. SIMPLY said I rest my case

I agree wt Charles Novia on dis one 101%. Well said.
I totally agree with Charles Novia. not hating but Genevieve has "this" coldness and distain about her in practically all her films no matter the role she plays which makes it difficult watching any film she features in. she seems so haughty and yes fake. again not hating just stating a fact.
Well for me i just like Gene for who she is I love her stature more. Mr Novia make you go search the meaning of favour and grace. One might not be the best but when grace and favour locate you YO GO WHAO. one more thing there is always room for improvement
I agree

I am Ozo.
I totally agree wt charles novia on this one. Very accurate and unbiasedly on point. Omotala has more depth artistically.
seen. both are great
These are two fantastic movie talents,I like the way they carry their selves and they are very humble Genevive I have seen so many times and she'nt proud. Kudos...Earl.
Genevieve was first honoured by Federal Govt before Omotola. However I will say congratulations to both Omosexy and Genny.
But to you, CHARLES NOVIA, you are just a spectator who should be ashamed of yourself of not being honoured by the federal govt and hence went further in writing story that nobody asked you to write, an undertaking that could cause enmity again between the two friends/actresses and their millions of fans.
So try and face your business so that you also will be recognised for national honour like Omosexy and Genny.
STOP CREATING PROBLEMS OUT OF YUR IDLENESS!
That's a fact , I know her fans will not accept but it's the truth oge okoye funke akindele queen nwokoye Rita Dominic monalisa chinda Chika Ike nse ikpim are better role and character interpreters than Genevieve but lets say Genevieve's had a lucky bright star more like her destiny is good
And who the hell asked for your lame opinion, fool? Keep talking shit.
Exactly! This is always my exact point of view whenever my friends and I are arguing about these two talented women. This is exactly what i always say. Omotola possess the ability to enter the characters. She connects herself emotionally to the characters whereas Genevieve is lacking in this area. her acting can be rather bland. it's like there's a surface through which she doesn't want to penetrate or something.
QUEEEN NWOKOYE IS NUMBER 1 NOW ...... THAT CHIC HAS REALLY EVOLVED , BEST ROLE INTERPRETER HARD WORK TRULY PAYS
I have jst 1 word 4 Charles Novia: Grow up! If u ve a beef wif Genevieve, man up n take it 2 her. Don't rely on d shoulders of d crowd 4 comfort. U've known dis 4 yrs u imply, y bring it up now?
2 d actresses, u both rock in ur own ways. No need in comparison.
Dey r two different pple so dnt compare dem, ewu!
They are both gud buh i like omo sexy than eve...daniels olubukola aka blackmamba...
Shut up already!
Apparently, Charles Novia prefers Omotola's acting skills to Genevieve's'. Personally, I have nothing to say concerning the comparison, except for the fact that I hope Charles is not being segregative, because if he is, that would be the height of immaturity on his part as a High class Movie director that he is.

I never comment on your blog Linda! but Charles Novia needs to go and hide somewhere whats the point of this write-up??? really! Kmt..irrelevant man trying to stay famous with silly articles..
Totally agree with Mr Novia.
BOTH OF THEM ARE GOOD IN THEIR OWN WAYS

I prefer genny to omotola...buh who asked him to compare them. as their characters differs or varies so is their acting skills and productivity dnt see a ned 4 dis...abeg he shud go take up a script lets compare him sami loco.
Even if i am not quite a charles novia fan... Ermmm i quite agree on dis one.. oya all the Genny supporters over to una
Your head no set...
whatever artistic evaluation you think you are making, if it doesnt sum up to fans feeling satisfied with the interpretation of a role, then u r talking jargon...
allthat english and grammar cannot confuse fans..sorry
Genevieve will always be a far better actress than omotala...
i always believe omotala got there becos shes beautiful too...simple
mia.E
Even though he means well and his assertions bearing linings of truth, no good will come from this friendly critique. What it will succeed in doing is involving fans from both sides in a head lock which in turn might spill onto both actresses. this is playing with fire on his part.
Amazing

Mehn Charles is so on point.... Very sad but true.. Genny is stereotyped and i honestly think she needs to take challenging roles. She needs to go out of her box... Genny true fans and in depth movie lovers knows this.
Omotola and Geneveive are two different individual with different acting skills, there is no way their acting could be thesame. They are both good at what they do and I see no reason for comparing them. pedrotoki80@yahoo.com
"However, with an attitude
which seems to say she has nothing more to
prove, even the fans would become restless if
new artistic exploits are not offered from her to
which they can beat their chests". Can genevieve's fans deny that line is not true? Genny's has failed to up her acting game, she is a star and remains one of the best actresses we have, but Omotola beats her in this.. I agree with Charles...
i'ld go for omotola
this is WORD WAR, charles don bring back gobe!
Charles Novia, you clearly praised Omotala while bringing Genevieve down! U didn't tell us Omotala's flaws but u detailed Genny. Why bring in Genevieve if u want to pay homage to Omotala? Is it necessary?
its a lie, genevieve acts better, omotola is just classier and more beautiful
Couldn't have said it better. Not a big fan of either of them, although they're both great actresses, but I definitely agree that there's always a certain 'aloofness' about Genevieve's character in her movies.
Mr know it all, all you are doing is rekindle old rivalries. who is asking for your though on this.
I agree 100% I have not see Genevieve evolve as much as Omotala has. It would be nice to see Genevieve more as an actress and less as a "celebrity". Quite similar to Jim Iyke who never evolved from Mr bad guy rough campus boyfriend. Compare him to Yul Edochie or Tony Umez.....you can't stay a campus boyfriend forever ...grow, evolve!
This one na pure gibberish, both of them are good in their own ways. He's only saying that just bcos he likes omotola more...rubbish.....
Mr Novia sure knows how to stir up conversations.
I love Genevive and thinks she's such a great actress, but I can't relate to Mr Novia. I see her veiled disdain to b pushed further. On the other hand, congrats OmoSexy!! - the queen bubbles
Y dnt u jst mind ur own business n face ur our career.
many people close to these acts seem to love Omotola personality than genevieve....mayb bcos of atiku
Honestly i hate to see anyone compare these two women. Vote Linda Ikeji as the Most Active Blogger of the year. www.socialmediameritawards.com/vote.php
Omotola u are beautiful
He is right he's not downgrading genny she iS a wonderful actor too but omotala is super I'm not a fan of both, ........ok go n watch queen of Aso rock, is a good film not an old film cos we have good n bad film to me, not old n new. .............omotala can act wella once again congrats to her. Genny u rock
Right to speak. 'Sergio Frankie'
Go and sit down, yeye man
They are good in there own unique way,no need 4 d comparison...love both of them..POTABLE VIV
@Genny got the award before @Omotola
And dey are both good in dere capacity
Go see "Ije"....
@Charles pls improve more on ur wife...stop ranting like a dead PRICK
@Galore
I started reading but felt like slapping Charles Novia the moment I saw 'rivals' in that article. Bia, respect yourself Mr. Novia and don't create sh** where there's none. Judgmental chief judge.
to me d both of dem ar gud, i dnt hav time in debating on somone sucess, if they arent gud tey wnt be at the top
Charles you're just an attention seeker, what's your claim to fame? I guess it's your job to cast aspersions on people who have achieved what you can only dream of. The other day it was Don Jazzy's dorobucci, now it's Genevive. Why don't you face your inept government and decry the decadent situation of things in the country, rather than hating on other people's achievements. Guess you're the best movie producer out there, yet I'm the only one who knows you. Since you're mr know it all how come you own a record label and yet none of your artists is known.
Oh I get it, you ain't got no job as the Americans say. Hence you've taken it upon yourself to mind other people's business and sow discord between colleagues. I think you need to get a life mister.
They re both screen divas, i luv both of dem, but apart 4rm acting, i prefer Omotola, its rare to see a famous, beautiful celeb still in her marriage (guess she is lucky) but dis man dnt go nd start fire of rivalry btw dis too biko...all is well...#Nifemi#
A big COngrts to Omo sexy.......
Charles on it again
From his own view,as for me Genevieve is far more better than omosexy,
Who ask you?, and who told you your opinion matters!!!!!!!!, busy body
I agree with you 100percent. Genevieve is too slow for my liking and she just has one way of acting.
So she finally accepted d honour! Guess she's done having a twisted mind
Yes I agreed with him, what he said is a necked truth well narrated & well spoken. I hv observed ds a long time ago. No offense should be taken pls.
Of wat use they are already millionaires
Lordemma4love50@yahoo.com
Genevieve all the way
Lordemma4love50@yahoo.com
Yes I agree! Totally agree! Though they are both at their best but OMOTOLA is better,GENEVIEVE is overrated,I still prefer MERCY JOHNSON & FUNKE AKINDELE acting 2 GENEVIEVE.
Hmmm!!! I like both actresses however I think Genievive has better diction than Omotola though Omotola is hotter looks-wise. However in terms of both good acting skills, delivery and good looks etc. Nse Ikpe Etim beats them hands down followed by Mercy Johnson (surprisingly).
Even if i am not quite a charles novia fan... Ermmm i quite agree on dis one.. oya all the Genny supporters over to una
THAT SHOULDNT BE
THAT SHOULDNT BE
U r just trying to make something outta nothing.y r u comparing them now.......mtchewwwwwww.
Abeg shut up, who ask u? Why dis nonsense? No respect 4 u again, u talki 2 much n behave like a market woman. All ds ur grammar didn't get u award. Hiding ur face 4 not receiving award abi? Who no u sef. Mind ya bizness.

Am sooo in support of u
Well written. I had seen this long ago but, the ride or die genevieve fans will beg to differ. Such shortsightedness, really. Its not about rivalry. Genny is too stiff and is never spontaneous or flexible. They will be sure to ignore that his last paragraph anyway.
omo sexy is better off
this charles novia of a man na big goat. you obviously have something against genny at the moment but this does not give you the right to put this write up on public media. it is uncalled for. if you want to praise omotola, do so and do not compare her with genny. they have different gifts
Millions of likes, he couldn't have said it any better. Genevieve is too pompous 2 interprete her roles well. Not a fan at all
SHUT UP JARE...WHAT ABOUT YOU? ARE U AN ACTOR, CRITIC OR AN OBSERVER. THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, I GOT CONFUSED.....TEAM GENE FOR LIFE
His Genevieve analysis is correct and I finally have in words why I get bored with her acting.
I have overdosed as a fan on her acting and can now predict her reaction on a number of circumstances. I still will watch her movie over any other actress because I just like her not because she's good - Same goes for Jennifer Aniston.
BTW just watched Omotola's excellence in "Ties that Bind" - film with american actress Kimberly Elise.
I cudnt Agree more, can remember a movie where Omotola was acting as an old lady, she did so well dat d image of the stunning young lady wud leave ur mind, but Genny has limits, she's classy and quite reserved nd if d role she's playing doesn't fit her natural personality, u ll hardly find dat passion or fire in her work
There was no reason for him to do this, he's just seeking for unnecessary attention. And he's definitely gonna get it (backlash and all). With that said, now the cat is out of the bag, I agree with him completely. I've said the same thing for yearssss.... Genny with her sweet sweet face, and style ain't a great actress! She just has a certain packaging. Omotola on the other hand is an ACTRESS after I watched "blood sisters", Genny was playing a blind girl and she looked directly at Tony Umez, that was the final straw for me. Then Ije, Genny was good in that movie, but omotola was SENSATIONAL!
Linda please whats is this man saying, Is he related to that Hon. Patrick ni, the man sha like to talk sha, all this talk talk never land am MON oh..call_me_zlatan@yahoo.com

This man is obviously disturbed. I am a movie fan, more hollywood than nollywood though, but I have seen many nollywood movies too, and I must say that Geneveive's acting prowess is matchless. Genevieve, nse, rita Dominic and mercy johnson are the best I have seen in Nollywood. Omotola is not so good an actress but I tink her beauty after four kids has created a huge fanbase for her. I amm not a fan of either actresses but mr. Novia's judgement is very shallow and unapparent.
Awards don't make an actor, It is acting that makes an actor. The top 3 natural actors in our movie industry to me are RMD, Ramsey, Genevive.
They bring acting to you naturally, Omotola is good, but is far less natural than Genevive. In terms of real acting, they should not be compared. Genny is far better.
Genny is my no 1. Ewu gambia n'acho soo okwu n'uka. How do you write like this and expect their fans not to come at each other? biko keep ur opinion to urself cus it won't add money to their bank accounts. How about writing on how Charles novia is doing in regards to improving his skill?? Lets read about you more n stop using others to shine.
mumu who ask you?...baza king
Omotola is my gee anytime any day but when it comes to acting men! I give it to Genevieve
Biased much?
This man has lost relevance,and is making efforts to still stay in our face with inciting comparism. Cheap!
Well said. I thought I was the only one with the same opinion. Genny is contained. You can't push her beyond a certain limit whereas Omotola is outstanding.
Noted. Cherryjany84@gmail.com
Your opinion
On the contrary Genevieve has more depth.
Lies! Genny z always beta dan Omotola
They are both good buh I think he is trying 2 help omotola... with all dese awards & PR most ppl still hold genevieve in higher esteem when it comes to acting... and I think dat proves him wrong.
Your own choice, another person may prefer Genevieve. benotekcomputers@gmail.com
Professional review indeed. I wonder why an old man like charles Novia won't find better things to do than instigate more rivalry between 2 Actresses that are minding their business. Oh, lest I forget, it's as a result of his joblessness. Rather than stay in the news by talking trash about people who are truly news worthy, you should work hard to earn the spotlight. Stop living on your expired past glory.
I totally agree with him. Though I am not a big fan of Nigeria home videos, I have watched both Omotola and Genevieve in action and i am drawn towards Omotola when it comes to interpreting roles. I like Genevieve as well but still see the same "thing" in her roles.
Disagree Genevieve is oga lojo kojo. She is just natural to the core. Honestly to me their is no comparable between them.
I agree with you totally...especially on that aloofness part abt Genevieve.
How much did Omotola pay u! Shut ur trap daft!
Charles Novia is talking like a stupid man? Why does he want to cause a serious war among us? I am ashamed of him....how can he be praising that yoruba woman? Genevieve has achieved more than Omotola that is why she is the Julia Roberts of Africa.
follow me on Twiter: @BornInBenin
I will follow back if you mention me
This is not nice, this kind of comparison is not good for our society.
What's this one saying?someone should pls give him a seat.
Faceoflib
He is a movie producer and has worked with two of them closely, so he may be right. But both artistes have their fans that can die for them anyday anytime. Me I'm neutral.
Mr. Charles Novia, Go and watch ije and listen to what the producer had to say about both actresses. You need help with this attention seeking disease that's eating you up.
Una don start abi. I love you both lyk kilode
Every artist stands out in their own way.. Comparison between two top quality actors is not necessary.. Charles talks too much..
hmmm...if u ask me..they are both very good and beautiful mehn
My opinion, if I were u Mr charles, u would have just said that they are both good actresses, don't try to add salt to injuiry..ur just doing notice me[mtchwww]
Dats ur thots anyway an carried some weight but callin dem rivals a no no, there er colleagues, jus cos dere d bests among many doesn't make dem rivals an ve never, dey each ve deir fan bases, style etc so pls never use dat word to instigate a fire dat should never be in d 1st place..
Charles novia is a bug fool. What's the comparison for tho? He likes to criticize people's work and yet Alan poza was a very bad movie, he ain't getin jobs so to him gennyyy is a way to limelight, Genevieve nnaji acts with so much class and realness that you don't see in most people in Nollywood, how can you compare the both. Comparing these two act is like comparing Nigeria to south Africa, dammit this guy is just as stupid as the word stupid is, Genevieve is so good, Charles novia thinks acting is all about shouting and all that shit, he should take several sits,well he is sitting already cos he ain't getin jobs. Stupid man, old fool. He should go and watch half of a yellow sun and see how gennyyy brought life to her character, u want to compare her to omotola, yes omotola is good but honestly there is nothing so special with her acting, genny is good and that's why he is great and Charles novia try and work first and be an A list director first b4 u start with your everyday madness, and lemme tell genny got more fans cos she is so good. go suck a dick. Washed out director. Olodo. U couldn't even maintain continuity in ur movie with oc ukejie's beards going on and off. That's how poor ur movie was... now go and die
Omotola for life, am not taking anything away from Genevieve though.
chidiadigbo@gmail.com
Thank God after all your talk you know they're both better in their field than you will ever be in yours. Than you. Reppin SAMSUNG NOTE3
Genny can't adequately play any character that is not aloof. She can't 'ugly' up.
Omotola and Mercy are geniuses at conveying sorrow, dejection and fear.
Some things in life are unavoidable, like for instance: terrorism, unemployment,constant fuel increase, Kanye West narcist rants and Charles novia novice nosy gab.......... You can't act to save your life, neither does your mediocre movies have aNy significant impact to the gross domestic product of Nigeria. .... If you spend the considerable amount of time that you consume interfering on another persons issue, then maybe your movies and screen career would know better days... Can't stand this pos alwys feeling like the greatest thespian dt Nigeria have ever and can ever produce, someone gag me!! #cheEzyjayne
Please Linda post my comment biko. Charles jovial shod get a life after his failed career, leave genny and omo T alone please u are just jealousy or what honor or award have u got? Live ur life
Who ask you...#teamGenevieveForever Omotola is too full herself 100th to comment cassey.matthews@yahoo.com
Hehehehe! u don blow all the grammer finish na. i still prefer Gen's acting skills to Omotala's.
Charles novia shld atleast get a life and leave genieve alone..... haba........dis lady doesn't even have ur time...........michewwwww
i wonder why people see omoT and Genny as rivals, these two peeps started way long when Nollywood was Nollywood, in those days when OmoT acted in movies like Mortal inheritance, and Genny in a lot of movies with Pat attah, Emeka ike, Ramsay etc. they are both good actresses who have paid their dues in the industry, they worked so hard to get to where they are today, no two people are the same in everything, there has to be somes differences and some similarities, peopel see it as though there is competition, that OmoT was recognised as one of the most influential people in the world does not mean she is better than genny, and that genny was mentioned by Oprah Winfrey or recognised by GEJ does not make her better than omoT, people like Rita, Mercy J have all grown in the industry. i see no reason why people are quick to compare their acting prowess whenever any of them gets recognised. its no competition, they are not rivals.Charles Novia, don't even start now

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
I concur. Inasmuch as I luv them both, omotola is very much more talented. I see the aloofness in genev roles, n hw sometimes she's quite unbelievable in some roles, if it's nt her usual hot, snubbish actor is dying for her roles, but of cos her charisma n hw did he put it...uncanny screen presence jst works for her, so big ups to her.
You are on you own. Mr.all experience,judge right.
Absolutely right. Spot on! Omotola is more versatile and play different roles whereas genevieve even though good too is always aloof in her movies even if playing poor girl, rich girl, orphan, same emotion over and over again. Omotola gets my vote.
Pumpkin
I don't even know who I like better between the two of them, I ll say omotola sha, she has accomplished so much in her career
U no get work..Genny is every bodies favourite even among youths around Africa.
U no get work..Genny is every bodies favourite even among youths around Africa.
Jobless man
I have never posted a comment before on linda ikeji but as a Genevieve fan I have to say something. This is an insult, who is this stupid and crazy, idiot Charles. Does he have any degree in acting? or what? you trying to be relevant or what? Genevieve is a great actress with skills and whenever I watched her movies, she put me in a position where I feel the role she is portraying is so real. what kind of feeling is better than that??? please do us a favor, stupid and foolish Charles, shut the hell up. don't compare Genevieve to omotola!
This man self......shut up jare
Charles u have made quite a few valid points in d past but this is nonsense, u are just sitting on d sideline watching while they r in d game playing. This is totally OP (off point)
That man z a cunt! Genevieve remains the best. A woman with dick!
Charles no via is hear you. You ve done the comparism already..... ndprincess08@yahoo.co.uk
Person go think say he "charles novia" knows anything about acting. Instead of congratulating someone he must compare n mention names. "Worst" he hasn't done one thing that I can manage, let alone like!

Hmm...
What unprofessional display of character! What is the honest reason behind this write up? What international certifications allows U the luxury of doing this? Why should we not believe you are trying to pass a personal message with this very distastefully-faulted write up.
Take caution Mr. Novia and shut that proud trap of yours. your a Skill-analyzer professor now baa?
Genevieve and Omotola...my respect for you both remain equal...no further comments!
