Genevieve Nnaji, like the great Nigerian model Oluchi Onweagba before her hawks possibilities, the fact that the girl next door can grab the stars and walk above the clouds. She symbolizes hope for many who dream of breaking into the burgeoning Nigerian movie industry. She plays all the romantic leads, representing the girls about her age who are in reality just discovering love and heartaches and kisses and stuff. She also sells intrigue and mystery and has a member of the Naijarules.com movie forums wondering with confidently marshaled statistics why Ramsey Noah appears only to touch lips with her and no other leading lady in many movies?
Nnaji gives many aspiring youngsters out there a chance to believe that they can also become somebody, stars paid for doing what seems so simple, something they love. Genevieve has got a lot of youngsters considering a career in the movies. Talented, fashionable, great looking, photogenic, getting well paid… These are all characteristics that the average youngster seeks. Everyone wants to be popular. Everyone wants to shine like a star…and the star today has a name: Genevieve Nnaji. All the girls want to be Genevieve Nnaji.
To become a superstar, Nnaji has to be exportable, and that she is already. Projects in Ghana, Sierra Leone, London, all over. Nnaji appeals just as warmly to Kenyans and Liberians and South Africans and Ghanaians who avidly watch Nigerian home videos at home and abroad. Genevieve is leading that market into new territories today.
She took the extra step of projecting herself beyond Nigeria by having a website constructed, arguably the most trafficked Nigerian site on the Internet as at the time of this writing. WhoIs information reveals the Domain was only registered late in September 2003, and at the rate of about 200 Guest Book entries daily, it has been online for about 17 days as at the time of this writing. Its fame spread like wildfire, a jolly virus. 3549 entries in 355 pages in two weeks… That is phenomenal by Internet standards, probably unequaled by any star below the level of a Britney Spears. It has become one of the most popular sites on the Internet in a matter of days, a Mecca for her legion of fans who are seemingly incapable of getting enough of this beautiful princess from some hyperbolic dream, a fantasy creature strutting her sweet stuff across our captivated reality.
"God's gift to you is you life and what you become in life is your gift to him. You must give your life totaly to god. Use the gift he, god, has blessed you with to win souls for him. Then you can sit back and smile at the work of your hands." - A Nigerian Movie Fan.
Hers was the second site to come online, second only to Richard Mofe-Damijo's rmdpromotions.com. And she filled the space only with what they want - little information, a little taste of her glamorous world. The website adds to her mystery, from the first page where she peeps from behind a veil asking you to come in and discover - through the carefully selected photos that adorn the sparse pages. Every image flashes that mischievous smile that is melting and breaking hearts around the world.
The entries in the Guest Book are mostly from Nigeria, but African countries and North American regions are also well represented. The thoughts expressed in the pages are often sporadic, but true in their spontaneity, sincere in their intentions. Love is the word used most on his website. "I love you…" I don't think the word has ever been used within any limited space as often as is used site. They love their icon. Many leave their phone numbers, email addresses, in hope of a reply…especially the young men who just want to marry her.
She hasn't acted in an international collaboration the size of Richard Mofe-Damijo's Critical Assignment. Unlike RMD, she does not have an agent in South Africa, but her name is just as recognisable as his, if not more so. And she is 18yrs younger than he is. As it says in the pop hit, "time is on my side" should be Nnaji's song. The best years of her career are still ahead.
Genevieve is an MGN Productions Nigeria, Perfect Pitch and Blue Pie Productions artist. Genevieve is available at all leading digital retailers on the planet.

She's an excellent entertainer but apparently, that's not reflected in her personality. Eye witnesses say she's not very pleasant.

Genevieve Nnaji, a young achiever set to soar further in the sky. Her praise would have been more than complete if not because of her mental western colonisation that implied that unless you smoke you cannot produce a good movie. This is a worrying trend in Nigerian movie industry. You are a model that young people would like to immitate. But should they follow after your puffing on the screen? By smoking on the screen you are encouraging young ones to smoke and break the law that banns smoking in Nigeria. The effects of smoking are well documented in medical literature. If popularity and fame is what life is all about that would be wonderful, but it is not. What effect is your life style going to have on the young ones? Where are the popular people of yesterday? The people that celebrate you today will shake their heads at you when evil befalls you tomorrow. For one I do not want my children to model after a puffer, a smoker whose devastation is in the making. Half a word is enough for the wise. Good luck. Here are some scientific findings about smoking and your health.
Cigarette smoking is the single most preventable cause of premature death in the United States. Each year, more than 400,000 Americans die from cigarette smoking. In fact, one in every five deaths in the United States is smoking related. Every year, smoking kills more than 276,000 men and 142,000 women.1
Between 1960 and 1990, deaths from lung cancer among women have increased by more than 400%—exceeding breast cancer deaths in the mid-1980s.2 The American Cancer Society estimated that in 1994, 64,300 women died from lung cancer and 44,300 died from breast cancer.3
Men who smoke increase their risk of death from lung cancer by more than 22 times and from bronchitis and emphysema by nearly 10 times. Women who smoke increase their risk of dying from lung cancer by nearly 12 times and the risk of dying from bronchitis and emphysema by more than 10 times. Smoking triples the risk of dying from heart disease among middle-aged men and women.1
Every year in the United States, premature deaths from smoking rob more than five million years from the potential lifespan of those who have died.1
Annually, exposure to secondhand smoke (or environmental tobacco smoke) causes an estimated 3,000 deaths from lung cancer among American adults.4 Scientific studies also link secondhand smoke with heart disease.
