a screen diva...happy birthday Genevieve

Woman envy her men adore her she has capture the heart of millions of people all over the world through her indisputable performance on screen through out her acting career.  I see her as a screen diva, an epitome of greatness in African cinema and i am very sure the late Maya Angelo will describe her as a 'Phenomenal Woman'.

Genevieve nnaji is a Nigerian actor born on the 3th of may 1979 in mbaise, Imo state in Nigeria. She grow up in Lagos where she attended the Methodist Girls College in Yaba Lagos and later  went to the university of Lagos.
Her career in the movie industry started at the age of 8 where she featured in the television soap opera 'Ripples'. At the age of 19 she was introduced into the then called Nigerian Movie Industry now called 'Nollywood' where she was given a role in the movie 'most wanted'. From there on it should be noted that it has been from one level of glory for her to the next for the talented actor.
She has featured in over 80 Nollywood movies considered to be one of the highest paid actors in Nollywood and even Oprah Winfrey could not be held back from screen's diva success by referring to her as the Julia Roberts of Africa.
She has received several awards and recognition through out Africa. In 2001 she won the Best Actress of the Year Award at the City People Award and the Best Actress in a leading Role in 2005 in the African Movie Academy Awards.

I have tried to understand why is Genevieve nnaji is so loved,adored admired by many. Most many girls in africa aspire to be like her men desire. I have watched almost all her movies needless to say I am one of her biggest fans. What makes her different from other Nollywood actors is not just her beauty but her display of professionalism.  She captures every character and makes it so real so us. This can be seen in some of her movies like 'formidable force, Sharon stone in Abuja and keeping faith just to name a few. She never gone nude just to play a role as a prostitute like what we seen now on Nollywood she respects not just her profession but herself and will always come out as the best. Happy birthday screen diva and as you will always 'stay focus to your dream hard work pays'.
