Oops! Movie Director lashes out at Geneveive Nnaji

Over the weekend, Geneveive had a quick chat with Punch where she disclosed why her face has been rare in movies in recent times.

The Super star and single mum of one, Geneveive Nnaji has 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"
Well, that response did not go down well with a movie director, Mac Collins Chidebe.
In a statement sent out to the media, the director lashed out at Geneveive. Read statement below:
"Genevieve has just insulted the industry that made her who she is today and what effort has she made to help improve Nollywood? Those days in Enugu when Genevieve was growing in Nollywood, our movies were not rubbish; she has grown now, made money, fame, popularity e.t.c, how much has she invested in this Industry that made her?
All the while she was busy waiting for Titanic scripts, Nollywood was trying their best to keep the flag flying waiting for her to come back and take the industry to the next level. Artistes should stop biting the fingers that fed them. We are watching and waiting for them to bring down heaven. We made them stars; we are waiting for them to come back and take the industry to the next level. Instead of blasting Nollywood, come and improve Nollywood." Chidebe said.
