Genevieve Nnaji and OmotolaJalade are currently jobless”

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and
Geneveive Nnaji are definitely not smiling at the
moment as very few acting opportunities have
come their ways. According to movie Producer and Director, Obi Emelonye, this development is not due to the fault
of the Actresses, rather they have become victims
of their own success stories.
“Genevieve and Omotola are the two biggest
Actresses we have in Nollywood, they cannot
afford to charge less than their status and that is where the problem comes in. Their charges are
probably above what the industry can afford. Their
charges are like half of the entire production budget
so which producer can afford that?” He told
Nollywood Reporters
Continuing, he said “What they can do now as it is with other big stars all over the world, is that they
should begin to fund their own productions and act
in them, they can act whatever role will enhance
their brand. They need to start a production
company now, and push themselves because they
need to remain relevant and must not be seen as jobless. If corporate bodies perceive them as
jobless, they won’t want to do business with
them, and they might even price them cheap.”
It would be recalled that the two Acts have not
been frequent in movies and the last one
Genevieve did, Dr. Bello was a flop at the box office.
Also, Omotola has not done any major film in
recent times, her last major movie was Last Flight
to Abuja about two years ago.
She was however named one of the most influential
people in the world by Time Magazine, a mention that made her the most talked about celebrity from
Nollywood.
