Nollywood director replies Genevieve for describing Nollywood as blande and mediocre

Explaining the reason she's been scarce in Nollywood movies for a while now, Genevieve Nnaji, in an interview with Punch over the weekend, said;
“I guess I haven’t found the right script yet. Creativity and depth are the qualities that I look out for in a script. In the beginning, the movie industry emphasised 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, one Nollywood movie director wasn't happy about Genevieve's description of their industry. In a statement released today, Mac Collins Chidebe (pictured right) said Genevieve should come and improve Nollywood instead of blasting the industry that brought her fame and fortune. What he said after the cut...

"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 e.t.c, 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

@Alicia,I know you will be quick to jump to Genny's defence. Genny is overrated and a chronic runs girl. Nollywood gave her fame, runs gave her money.

Thank you my dear. There is nothing special about her act.

I disagree with the statement "Nollywood Made Gene"

No one but God makes a man or woman.

Secondly, removing spirituality, if she wasn't constantly improving herself, she wouldn't even be featured as much as she was. If one is employed to a firm, they train You and try to make u understand the system, and in turn, they make profit from ur service to dem. If U don't improve or impress the firm, they fire U and replace U. So itz a 2way thing, u getting trained and den contributing to d betterment of the firm. So on the contrary, Nollywood shuld be grateful someone like Genevieve was once associated with them coz they don't even deserve someone like her. She put in lots of personal effort to improve herself and thus promoting Nollywood. Nollywood dint train her thru university or wrote her exams for her. So why wuld an illiterate director speak about her in such manner?

Thirdly, life is a forward journey, I don't see why I wuld be working with a firm and get a better place that improves my mind and influence and not move to it. Am not stagnant.

Lastly, we sound like we don't know Nigerians. The same people asking her to come improve Nollywood, would even frustrate her. They wouldn't listen, they're not even literate enough to let her improve them. Imagine the height of illiteracy with d speech of a Director to a press he certainly knew would take what he said to the media. So childish and degrading.
Nollywood even detest me.
And sincerely, they don't even care, they don't even know they're terrible, so how wuld they even improve?
Take a survey of those that watch Nollywood, u'll see that majority of them are poorly educated(education of the mind I mean)

However the same nollywood makes tinsel. Isn't tinsel so lovely and inspiring? Same Nigerian created Tinsel. Nollywood should sit up. Employ a creative and literate director and reorganise, this includes actors and actresses. Invest funds, think, improve their minds and they'll certainly be patronised by all.

I love Genevieve so much. Not even becoz of her roles, but she knows her worth and stands out and she is Humble. People shouldn't mistake being principled for Pride.

Because I attended a University in Nigeria, doesn't mean I must remain there. I have to graduate, move on, improve myself etc. And that is what she has simply done.

Go Gene. Luv U big Biko.

Hmmm!! To each his own, Genevieve is just letting the world know the level she is operating on now, there is no need for the Nollywood director to playa hate... On the flip side, I have watched two of those three international films she mentioned and to be honest her acting was not anything to write home about.

unknown said...

Anonymous, shes not saying rubbish,shes obviously speaking the truth and we all know the truth hurts. Are you,in your shallow mind,expecting her to act usless roles in senseless movies when she's already a star?? Finger or no finger... let her bite it,ko kan aye! it's like someone getting a better offer in another company and Ofcourse, you have to leave! So think like an educated being with goals and don't just restrict yourself!! Genny is so damn right so you can shut up already!

What genny said wasn't bad, dats jux the truth, I mean yesterday I watched a movie titled vampire in the palace, I watched angela okorie do her stuff and am sorry to say it bt it was stupid, I then imagined genny with all her international recognition do sometin like that, srsly I miss the old nollywood, the dayz of ijele, igodo, state of emergency, the world is mine, war front. Those dayz I movies had meaning and value, nt today wat we see is"the missinn school girl"

And in this case,she can't fall!! Why do Nigerians do this? I feel like shooting you I swear! Which heads is she stepping? You are an illiterate for real! See learn and always stick to this rule! 'I shall never please anyone to displease myself '!! Genny acting enugu and asaba roles mean de-repping herself and downgrading sef so please, think before you talk. Cos we that are not celebrities sef,we know their are some things we can't do cos we feel we are too big

Seriously there are more morons than brillian folks out here making comments.

Maccollins, You didn't make Genevieve who she is, Nollywood was just a mere channel for her to become what has already been deposited in her. Besides, if you read her lines well, she said "blandness and mediocrity of the past". Nollywood should just improve with the help of the present authority. I'm a script writter; a creative one at that. I have sold scripts to some producers in Nollywood, and the production was messed up. So you all should just grow up.

Anonymous said...

Madam Nkechi Relax a lil' bit, everyone one knws dat Nollywwod is a crap, even de actors, actresses nd directors. But the issue here is a way forward in making it better. So if Genny shud take a step in making de industry (which really made her) better nd take it to another level, den her blasting would be appropriate. Every1 is entitled to voice out his/her observation but I tink it wud be much better if after voicing out the observation, den u make an attempt to get things done.

Anonymous said...

You failed totally in objectivity. We all know there are lots of things wrong in Nollywood and some like finance is out of their control which you can't blame them. They still need to be producing something or the industry will die. What has Genevieve contributed to Nollywood? She has taken so much out of it and can't give back. She has not even produced a single movie even with all the clouts her fans attribute to her. If it is to buy expensive bags and cars,she is not found wanting.
Actresses like Jombo,Ini,Kate Henshaw,Monalisa etc have produced movies,that is a way of giving back by investing. What has the famed queen done,if she'd invested 10percent of that etisalat's and Amstel money in the industry that brought her fame it will go a long way.
Meanwhile I'm shocked that she could say she doesn't want to be involved in substandard production anymore. What the hell was she doing in 'weekend gateway'? That movie was one of the worst to come out of nollywood. Because it was an extended aristo runs with the spendthrift governor of Akwa ibom and his cohorts. Those that knew what went down can testify.

Please Mac colins is making sense, what has effort has she made to turn the industry around for good, it's that industry that made her who she is today, if she think she came feature in any of there movies or anyhow movies, then let her write a script, direct or produce a movie that is upto her standard atleast help and improve nollywood. Afterall is Rukky Sandy, Emen Isong that she started before are producing lovely movies in the industry, Uche Jumbo, Desmond elliot, yvonne Nelson, Yvonne okoro and many others has come up so many nice movies. Which one has she done? Or she is waiting for people to write and then pay her millions to come and act. My dear Genevieve in as much I like you I totally don't support what you said. Because you haven't done anything to show a new and higher level in the industry that made you only charging millions before you future in a movie. Go on produce or direct and show them how you think a nollywood movie should be. Rubbish!

I'm sure you have a brother or uncle that doesn't look as good as he is. How would you feel if such words are being thrown at them.

Honestly speaking those of you supporting Genevieve in this case I don't really understand, is that y'all are shallow minded or just because you like her that you can't stop your stupidity and senseless comment and see how much sense Mac Collins is making?

Pls jxt dont sit their and talk without contributing! What ve u done in the film industry? No script to ur credit! Never produced before! Never directed before! Sit and be waiting for nija SALT script to come to ur laps so u can act Angelina Jolie for us. While Uche jumbo is trying to bring in changes to our industry. Good riddance....

I completely agree with d man.yes,Geni spoke d truth but lik d director said,what has she contributed to make d industry grow? Plus seriously Mercy Johnson is a better actress.u dnt just sit dwn n criticise,get up n do smth to bring abt d change u want to see.am a big fan of Geni no doubt but if we r talking abt professionalism, i've seen pple who r better,pple who fit in2 diff roles,pple who actually transform frm one character to anoda,dat is how u knw a professional actor,and am talking about Mercy Johnson so pls Geni shud eida do smth to create change or take several seats!

Is she a script writer? Common shut it!

MY TURN said...

No matter what you attain in life humility should be your watch word. I am N0 FAN OF NOLLYWOOD and really wish i could scrap it off my Dstv bouquet but it doesn't take away from what that industry has done for a number of these people. Genevieve you are my girl but using words like BLAND AND MEDIOCRITY is a bit below the belt. Leave the insults to us to through around, not from you.... THE GUY MADE A POINT, NO SHIT FOR CHURCH CAUSE YOU MAY BE CALLED TO PACK IT.I WATCHED HER IN HALF OF A YELLOW SUN WASN'T SO IMPRESSED, IF SHE WAS ALL THAT WHY WASN'T SHE CAST AS LEAD ACTRESS INSTEAD OF THANDIE NEWTON? GENEVIEVE IS IBO ABI?... BETTER BE HUMBLE

JOYCHY said...

Personally dere are some movies I don't even expect 2 see d likes Genevive, Omotola, Pete Edochie, Olu jacobs, Joke Silver, Ngozi Ezeonu etc in. Cuz its just a slap on dere faces interpreting silly roles.

I don't see genny's statement as an insult, she just stated d obvious. some Nolly movies are so annoying. Sometimes I feel like slapping dem from my screen #Its dat Bad

So u want her 2 come and start taking roles like geni d village gal or mercy dat is acting stupid roles.no doubt mercy is trying Bt she needs 2 stop taking some stupid roles dat does nt befit her.

Alicia says... said...

Dumbest comment from a typical bitter Nigerian. Genevieve a high school drop out? She attended the university if i'm not mistaken and was about to read law, can't you hear how well spoken she is? Secondly Genevieve comes from a middle class well educated family. Her parents and siblings are all educated. Do you think Genevieve was a poor squatter living in Makoko, Ajegunle, or her village? Jealousy will kill you, bitter soul.

Genny is 100% correct, Nigerian movies are crap, most of them. i watched a movie by Denziot production recently(UNFORGIVABLE) and it made sense, but how many movies make sense. the lake creativity. all they do is shoot a movie in one wk and give it many parts to make money thats all. but on Genny's part, she should work with AGN to give their industry a new face. criticizing them isnt the best option.

Genny is full of pride and she must remember that pride goes b4 a fall. This is the industry that brought her to limelight so she doesn't have the right to insult them now cos that is not a constructive criticism but an insult. The question is, what has she done to improve it and biko, how does she even give back to the society? Cos I have no idea, only buying expensive bags and trying hard to match up with Hollywood stars. I like Genny but she must learn to be humble. It pays!

Gennys should borrow a leaf from the likes of uche jumbo, look for good script writters, if she can't direct or produce, pay a good one to do it and sponsor the kind of films she wants us to watch, Shei she they fluent so much money, then use it to improve the industry that made you, that way she can make change and contribute to the industry and she will b a rare gem in the industry. or better still have a film skool where u can hire good tutors to train young people to b actors, directors, producers, script writers etc. That way she can actually contribute her quota to the industry, not all these instagram and social media display of wealth XxxbarbieXxx

Nkechi James we get your point, now get ours, we don't expect her to go backwards or lower her standards to what nollywood is today,we only ask that she atleast contribute in whichever way possible to the "upliftment" of nollywood. What constructive aid has she contributed? You don't come out and badmouth what you haven't involved yourself in. If she has worked towards the upgrading of nollywood no one would disagree or be hurt or argumentative about her statement.

Very well said........my thoughts exactly! The script writers need to come up with challenging scripts, something new and diverse with more depth. Not recycled story lines with several parts and different titles that lack creativity. Producers need to be more professional too. Nollywood lost it's glory a long time ago with nothing new to offer but a few good ones. The likes of Emem Isong, Jeta Amata have grown amd are doing well. Others need to strive for quality, creativity and a higher standard, not the shallowness that has over taken the industry today. Most of the movies are a bloody waste of time with nothing intellectual to offer.

First of all, Genny spoke the truth but english is still hard for some people to understand, she said she cannot return to the blandness and mediocrity that characterized Nollywood in the PAST. Chidebe was in a hurry to reply that he did not understand her comment. She is not criticizing only encouraging the industry to quit the principle of quantity over quality and i very much agree with her.

Megan Fox was poised to be the next Angelina Jolie, then she said something stupid and hasn't starred in a big budget Hollywood movie ever since.

Genevieve should go and ask why before making such terrible choice of words.

Ije was great, Mirror boy was torture to my soul. For her to even mention Mirror boy in one sentence and call Nollywood bland & mediocre in another, it just goes to show how unintelligent she is.

Good luck waiting for Tyler Perry to call you. You hear?

I get what genevieve is trying to say but she could have said it in a better way and also what the director said is true.Words should just be processed better before being said

ok i know this is an old post but i do have to say something. it might be constructive criticism which i very much doubt it is....she needs to watch her words. it was all nice and good back in the day for her appearing in all naija movies that got released on the daily. now all of a sudden she has some constructive words to spill? sure nollywood releases more crap than a Baby would but condemning will not solve the issue. personally i dont watch them except by recommendation and truth be told she isnt even that great an actress. all her roles are basically the same and she has more fame endorsing products than acting. sure she isnt a script writer as someone here said..,.sylvester Stallone wasnt a Producer either when he started but has gone on to produce movies.
