Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede, has expressed admiration for her colleague, Genevieve Nnaji.
Naijaonpoint reports that the thespian took to her Instagram page to share a throwback video of the duo from a movie scene, revealing that Genevieve’s kindness and warmth on set left a lasting impression on her.
According to Jegede, the movie was shot in 2007, and she left straight from the set to the airport to pursue further studies, which took her away from Nollywood for five years.
She also recalled almost missing her flight in her haste to depart.
She wrote, “This matter long ooo, see what someone sent to me. In 2007, from this movie set, I left straight to the airport and left Nollywood for 5years to go study. I even almost missed my flight, truthfully, this movie is why I always adore Genevieve, she was too kind and sweet to me on this project, very warm and pleasant… If you know the name of this movie, please indicate because myself don’t remember.”
Meanwhile, Nicole Chikwe, wife of rapper Naeto C, has revealed that she still struggles to stay calm whenever she sees Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji, even after knowing her for over a decade.
In a video seen by Naijaonpoint, Nicole said she always feels like fainting in the actress’s presence.
She described a meeting at a café in Ikoyi, where she unexpectedly ran into Genevieve sitting with a friend.
According to Nicole, despite being familiar with each other and exchanging greetings, she could not stop herself from reacting like a true fan.
She confessed that the air seemed to leave the room and time felt frozen the moment she saw the movie star.
Without realizing it, she bowed before Genevieve and said, “My queen, I’m not worthy to be in your presence.”
