The news of a bitter war brewing between two top Nollywood heavyweights, Stephanie Okereke and Genevieve Nnaji reported by
nigeriafilms.Com, which spread like harmattan fire has been generating reactions by both fans of Stephanie and Genny, as Genevieve is fondly called by her fans and friends.
In the said story, we had exclusively gathered and reported that a rift was going on between Stephanie and Genny, both just recently honoured by President Goodluck Jonathan with National awards of MFR, over cornering from the Presidency of the former by the latter.
But in a swift reaction to the news publication, Stephanie queried nigeriafilms.com for not confirming the alleged rift from her before going public.
“I don’t have any problem with Genevieve at all. I am not aware of any fight between the two of us. It is unfair when you people(NFC) present us like that, it is horrible. What is the fight between us about? Do you want to turn us into actresses that fight in the industry?” the sultry actress queried.
She further said, “what bothered me in the story was the presentation. Genevieve and I don’t have any problem. I have never had any problem with anybody in the industry and i don’t want to.
“Before you know it, this thing would be blown out of proportion. We are very good friends, and there is no quarrel between us over
anything. The way you people(NFC) reported that we were fighting over Presidency access made me laugh.” It is unfair, you make it feel as if
the female actress are bad. It is horrible, stop bringing women in the industry down. Myself and Genny were at the party last night(Thursday night) where Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN) celebrated us(maybe for the National honours bestowed on them by the President).
“I am just surprised at where this story is coming from. I am a very straight person. If it were to be any good work that we have done, you
guys(NFC) won’t talk about it,” Stephanie said.
