According to veteran producer, Charles Novia, Genevieve Nnaji has a secret dirty habit of smoking, whicha lot of people didnt know about:
I remember on the third day of recording, one night while shooting at a clinic in Victoria Garden City Extension, I came out fora bitof fresh air while the technical people were setting up for the next scene.
I saw Genevieve in a dark corner of the building, smoking a cigarette. ‘Whoops! You caught me’, she said, laughing. ‘You smoke?’ I asked, a bit surprised. ‘Now and then. It relaxes me ’ she said. ‘Do yousmoke?’ ‘Neverhave. Never will. But I don’t have any problems with people who smoke though. But health wise, I hope you stop soon.’ I replied.
‘I am trying to. Sit with me a bit, lets talk about this scene’ I sat with her and I explained some few things to her about the scene. We also talked about a bit of her stardom and how she was coping with it. She was in a chatty mood and it was a revealing conversation.
That evening, I saw a vulnerability in her, I had never seen before. This young lady, by a dint of her talent, hard work or fortune, had superstardom thrust upon her and seemed to have no private life anymore. She had become one of the most recognizablefaces in the continent and whilst enjoying the adulation, she was also coming to terms with the scrutiny of her Privacy, whichwas not too palatable to her.
I admired her courage and somehow felt that she wouldgo places beyond Nollywood. I remember I told her so. Genevieve was quite particular about make-up. She would spend many minutes, ensuring that her face was well-powdered.

xposed wetin? na u dey mad it is her lif and nobody can live it for her. Smoke jenny if it pleases and makes u relaxed like they said. Nothing is new under d sun, but then u people should know when u are invading someones privacy.

This Charles Novia guy is starting to get really annoying...

Charles Novia is a fool and Overage child .. What kind of nonsense book is dis .. Who ask am sef to expose anything .. The shame is on Novia as far as I am concerned

When Tonto Dike was exposed for smoking everyone one here demonised her, requesting for the electric chair calling her all sorts of names, now the same happens to "golden girl" and everyone wants to shoot the messenger.

I guess its one rule for some and another rule for others.

I don't think it's that. The reason why people castigate Tonto Dike is because she's already seen as a bad and spoil girl by many but Genevieve is Nigeria's sweet heart.

People castigate Tonto because she smokes? whether she's a spoilt brat or not is besides the question. Now Gene is in the same hot seat and people wants to shoot the messenger

Btw, i didn't hear Genevieve bragging about the fact that she smokes. The book also asserted that she wants to quit.

*Thats not Bragging, its like when Serena Williams told Oprah Winfrey and some other media outlets to mind their damn business! over a dance move she made in London.

*The same as when Rihanna told Joan Rives to slap on a dimper and mind her effing business, because she got in contact with Chris Brown


The same here Tonto is telling people to mind their business

Yeah, you're right. But this is Nigeria where people are overly emotional and will contrue Tonto's statement to be those of a rude girl.

The last time I checked, it was her life. I cnt imagine how someone will tell u abt her secret n u will have d mind 2 broadcast it. U must be very stupid. Whether u expose her or not it wnt change anytin and u can't be better or richer than her. Baba God don bless am n no man can change it even u.
