        I don’t know what to say about this. Firstly, I don’t believe Nollywood has been brought to the world, especially in the context of Bollywood and Hollywood and secondly, it’s too early to celebrate as Nigerian movies have a long way to go. More quality less quantity Nollywood

        This woman @GenevieveNnaji1 is a lot of virtue in one. Beauty and brains. Woulda said "I'ld love to meet her", but done did that already. Crossed off my bucketlist

        I think they refer more to her role as director of the film that will be streamed on Netflix. She both directed and acted in the film.
