Their rivalry reportedly started over movie roles and the contention  between them over who was Nigeria\u2019s biggest screen diva from 2003.<br \/>\nPerhaps, the new movie will turn things around for the two stars in the public eye.<br \/>\nTheir  high budget movie, which stars a number of other Hollywood actors, was  partly shot in Los Angeles, and was directed and produced by New York  Film Academy graduate, Chineze Anyaene, a 26-year-old Nigerian based in  Los Angeles, California.<br \/>\nIt has been described as the first standard Nigerian made Hollywood film.<br \/>\n\u2018Ije\u2019 means the journey and has been screened at several film festivals and has won awards still counting.<br \/>\nTransporting  the audience from lush countryside of Nigeria, to the intensity and  seductive power of Los Angeles, Ije- The Journey- tells the story of two  sisters with unbreakable bonds of loyalty and the power of human  spirit.<br \/>\nWhen Anya, the elder of the two, vows to chase her dreams  of glamour in the Hollywood Hills, her younger sister- Chioma- warns  her of the dark side of American Dream.<br \/>\nYears later, in a world  away from the life she knew, Anya is charged with the murder of three  men, one of them her powerful husband. Chioma travels to her sister\u2019s  side to battle not only a flawed justice system with the aid of a young  and disillusioned attorney, but the very notion of \u2018truth\u2019 as the  culture values of two worlds collide. Weaving a melodic and beautiful  score through rich visuals in Los Angeles and flashbacks on location in  Nigeria, \u2018Ije\u2019 captures the viewer from the very first scene and  delivers a powerful message through the moving conclusion.<br \/>\nThe movie will be premiering in Ghana tonight December 31 at the Silverbird Cinema in Accra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The alleged rift between Nollywood superstars Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade appears to have taken a different turn as the two have starred as sisters in a Hollywood standard movie titled \u2018Ije.\u2019 Though the screen goddesses came out to clear the air about their relationship, a section of Nollywood maintained that they did not see [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-272610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
