I remember when we went to Ikorodu village to shoot some forest scenes, it was getting late and we had one night scene left to shoot. The time was about 7.30pm and it was supposed to be the last scene for the day. Genevieve took some extra time on her make-up. Stella walked up to me in agitation. ‘Sir, please tell Genevieve to hurry up. Its late, we are in the middle of nowhere and she’s still making up. I am a wife and mother. I have kids to attend to at home tonight.

She should not waste our time.’ I looked at Stella in surprise. There was an unusual edge in her voice. I could not fathom out why she would sound a bit antagonistic. I knew she had a point on the time being spent by Genevieve in making up but I always assumed she had been ok with it. But she did have a point about the time being a bit late and we were actually miles away from the main town in a bush somewhere! I walked up to Genevieve who was rubbing powder on her face, while the make-up artist stood nearby, warily telling her she had over-done her face . ‘Genny, lets shoot this. Its late. Come on!’ ‘Just a minute, sir’ she replied.

She spent a few more seconds dabbing powder over a big pimple on her cheek. Stella was behind me, scowling and tapping her foot, impatiently. I took the whole incident between them as one of some brimming rivalry among actors which directors and Producers face at times on set so I did not pay much notice to it.

However, I was taken unawares by what happened a few days later!

Chicolee: Interesting. Can't wait to buy d book. I'm obsessed with Nollywood.

saintkola:

Sarcasm right?

Oga Charlie, abeg next time tell us a story about Stella trying to undermine Genevieve's performance by deliberately flubbing her lines, give us titillating details of Genevieve trying to get one over Stella by showing a better understand of the script. . .tell us how they both bad mouth each other behind the other's back, tell us something that shows RIVALRY because this one, a normal reaction to a colleagues time wasting antics. . .so does not cut it as "RIVALRY"

By the by, I found it amusing when Naija celebs write books, have clothing line, shoe lines, perfume brand etc. Seriously how delusional are these people?? Who is gonna buy these things they are peddling. . .surely not the average Nigerian out there and they don't have the international star power pull like their western counterparts, so who the hell are their target customers?!!

ebamma: But wait oh,this will not make patience jonathan recover from her illness oh?

love4ual: This book is most likely the first of its kind.....from a nollywood inside.....although the purpose of writing this book may be to make money but already one can see some truths in all of this......who could have ever imagined that Genevieve smokes....I am genevieve`s greatest fan and I do not think that this has changed my love for her....but at least it is interesting to know some of this truth.........now we know Genevieve better.....and how she has been able to handle her weak sides....for yes...Tonto smokes and did not hide it....she cares less about the society or has no true understanding of the society.....Nigeria is......
But here is Genevieve who knew that she was heading towards stardom ....not in the way seen in Africa b4 especially in the movie industry.....she was able to hide this truth from her fans for yes....and as a result the revelation of this truth would never affect the love of her fans now at least not someone like me....most of us already love her and it would be hard to stop loving her at this point.....I know that it would be a crime for Charles no via to say that Rita Dominique is. Lesbian...or that would be seen as evading her privacy......something always tells me that Rita Dominique is a lesbian and I wish this would be brought to light someday.....I also believe that Genevieve and Tonto dike are bisexuals including NSE ikpe etim......
I believe that this nollywood stars would be quiet when this book is released.....I only read books by David oyedepo, and Sam adeyemi.....I do not read other authors from Nigeria but I would surely by this one....

It goes without saying that Charles Novia is a very good writer and his movies are beyond passable. . .compared to the other rubbish being churned out everyday by the wreck of a movie industry called Nollywood. However I am a little stumped as to why he is trying to create drama where there is none.

By his own admission, it was late in the day, they were shooting in the bush and Genevieve was wasting time with her makeup. . .don't know about y'all but to me and other people who aren't fans of standing idly by in a forest at night doing nothing. . . Stella Damascus reaction IS normal. I bet if the crew members weren't scared of being fired for talking about a "Star" they woulda complained too.

Oga Charlie, abeg next time tell us a story about Stella trying to undermine Genevieve's performance by deliberately flubbing her lines, give us titillating details of Genevieve trying to get one over Stella by showing a better understand of the script. . .tell us how they both bad mouth each other behind the other's back, tell us something that shows RIVALRY because this one, a normal reaction to a colleagues time wasting antics. . .so does not cut it as "RIVALRY"
