One of Nollywood 's top actresses, Genevieve Nnaji whose face has been rare on the movie scene in a recent interview explains why she hasn't been featuring in new movies these days.
The mother of one who is blessed with a beautiful daughter told Punch saying:
"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 emphasized 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 practised my art in international and 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. I have respected myself as an artiste. I think the success stems from the fact that I have given acting my all.
" she said
Genevieve, one of the highest paid Nollywood actresses is an Etisalat ambassador, Amstel Malta ambassador amongst mouth watering other endorsement deals while speaking on her career said: "I don't see myself as a special person beyond the fact that God has blessed me with a talent that is working for me and I am forever thankful to Him".
