There is this story appearing in one of the online dailies, quoting Genevieve Nnaji, as saying that she will quit acting once she ties the knot. On the face of it, this is e very reasonable decision. Genie, like a true Nigerian wife, will want to devote her attention to being a good devoted wife and mother. And there is no doubt that she will be a wonderful wife and mother.

The reality, however, is something else. Gennie is not just any woman. Gennie is a talented actress. She has brought joy to many people with her acting, all over Africa. It would therefore a big loss to African film industry if she were to quit. Marriage should not be the reason for her to quit. There are many married people out there who combine marriage and other professions, among them acting. Gennie could do the same.

The other reason has something to do with the kind of man she intend to marry. If she marries a celebrity type, then we have to look at the marriage from another angle. In most cases, some people marry other celebrities as a marketing and public relations thing; just a marriage of convenience to boost sagging ratings on one of the two. Gennie does not need that, but the husband could. Sadly, such marriages never last. Just ask Stephanie Okereke.

I am perfectly aware of the egos of such persons too, so the husband could put preassure on Gennie to quit acting. She must resist this. Chances are, he would never have noticed her if she were not such a success. Gennie did not enter Nollywood to a husband. She did it because it is a career she loves. She should continue acting for herself. Shew also owes it to her fans worldwide

Well thats her own cup of coffee and no one can choose how to live her life for her.

Women that take time off their careers to dedicate time for family are the real women.

Jennifer garner did it
jennifer lopez did it
julia roberts did it
heidi klum did it
gisele bunchen did it.
So who are you not to do it? ? ? ?

Note that even if you are not as rich you can do it.

Kudos to any woman that does it.
You are the real women. when you return to your careers the world wouldnt have changed that much.

Make she first see the husband! Counting chicks before laying eggs.

NOW WHAT DOES STEPH HAS TO DO WITH THIS?? NAWAAAWOOO

Nezed:

Make she first see the husband! Counting chicks before laying eggs.

LMAO. True though.

Quitting Nollywood for Marriagewood - bad idea.
Who be the mugu wey go marry this kain woman?I don't see the union lasting jor.

She hasn't really achieved much in Nollywood, she's just the queen of a low budget movie industry come on.  People like her have the power to push the industry to the next level and she's just going to quit?

mMm??. . . .and I always tot that she was comfortable wit spinsterhood

Nah,they all secretly fantasize about having a family.

mama-gee:

That's her business. . .

And by the way what man would want to marry someone like her?

I'm just hoping it isn't because of her money.

I tot gene was every man's fantasy

nellaluv:

I tot gene was every man's fantasy

Excluding me. Thanks.

Like seriously, what is her crime, is it because she's Miss Independent?

she is qutting because of me,

Good for her!!

@ topic ok we don hear

she will quit when i have my 50th pikin

mama-gee:

I'm a big fan of her but I have to acknowledge that she has flaws in her character.

She's proud and full of herself, I can't imagine the marriage lasting for long.

And what has she done to show that she is "proud and full of herself"?

Her only flaw I see is her music career

Yea,I have to agree with u mamagee,and she tlks as if she doesn't really need a man, at least from some of her interviews av read

haters. . . while all of you people are talking. . . my question is



source?

THE AMAKA:

For real! That was what I thought too. Besides, Naija tabloids are good at coming up with fake tales anyway. I will take whatever they claim with a grain of salt.

aieromon:

How do you know this? Are you in their brain? Besides, don't most Nigerians marry mainly just to give birth to children? The girl already has a child and she does not need a man to provide for her since she is doing that quite well on her own. So, whether she chooses to marry or not is her perogative. In advanced societies, no one gives a damn if you are married or not except if you are in politics because ordinarily, your marital status does not change the price of fish. Now in Nigeria AKA the cesspit of confusion, 419 scam and consistent darkness and lack of basic amenities, it is a whole nother story LOL

mama-gee:

^^Nah, she's full of herself.

Her demeanor in some of her interviews speak a lot about her ego.

That's just my opinion though!

. . .yea, well, your opinion kindda sucks. . .

She quits already o. In a recent interview, Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji explains why she hasn’t been featuring in nollywood movies these days.

She said:

“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 characterised 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
