rufychuks:
You are right about this. However, I blame us for having left the war as if it never happened. In the US, UK, Rwanda and most other countries where they had a Civil war, a panel is set up to talk about it and to promote healing. It is taught, correctly, in schools and everybody knows why it happened and work hard to ensure peace and prevent such from recurring. We just behave as if the war never occured in Nigeria; kids are fed lies by their parents, events that accelerated the emergence of arms still occur and the unity we need to hold this country is almost non-existent.

even in popularity - thandie newton is more famous. this is why you have google hits.

Afam4eva:
Thandie Newton has 4,210,000 results while Genevieve has 3,740,000 and that's because a lot of Nigerians and Africans are not on the internet like Americans and europeans else Genevieve's google results will rank higher than Thandie's. Another thing is that, a lot of people on the WWW simply refer to Genevieve Nnaji as "Genevieve". So, if we were to add the results of "genevieve" in Nigeria's webosphere, the results combined with that of "Genevieve Nnaji" will dwarf that of Thandie Newton.

coogar:

you are such an illiterate.....
so we should add the google hits of obama to barack obama to dwarf lady gaga? no article on the internet would refer to genevieve without her last name.

she's not the only woman called genevieve in the world so your theory falls flat in the face. what about the millions of women called genevieve? you want genevieve nnaji to steal their hits?

why is common sense such a scarce commodity?

kabaka1:

Yes, they cut Genevieve's part off because her acting style didn't fit what the director wanted.

Good thing is she'll still get paid though, but d bad thing is that she still didn't make her hollywood debut that she craves like most other nollywood actresses/actors

Afam4eva:
I'm an SEO expert and i know how google rankings are done, so when i talk you listen.

Google does not only rank articles. It ranks just about anywhere a keyword like "Genevieve Nnaji" for example is posted on the internet even if it's just a comment in a forum or a blog and not necessarily the blog article itself. People refer to "Genevieve Nnaji" as just "Genevieve", so pages for where Genevieve is availabale are not included in the results for "Genevieve Nnaji". A typical example is when you want to know the search for the ethnic group "Igbo" without realizing that some people also call it "Ibo" instead. I hope you get the drift.

And i never said she's the only woman called Genevieve but you can't deny that she would have a reasonable chunk from that keyword on google.

Orikinla:

Genevieve Nnaji's part is still in the movie.
The trailer is not the complete film, dummy.

Thandie Newton has 4,210,000 results while Genevieve has 3,740,000 and that's because a lot of Nigerians and Africans are not on the internet like Americans and europeans else Genevieve's google results will rank higher than Thandie's.

baby-boy:


One of the best British movie ever is called Genevieve

Afam4eva:
So is a Nigerian Actress. They all have to share the name in google.

baby-boy:


Genevieve (Film) 9,100,000 results

Genevieve Nnaji 3,590,000 results

Common bro... give up

Afam4eva:

How did you do the search for genevieve (film). I mean what did you type in google. Pls teach me. I'm a learner.

thoth:

why is it only you that saw this ?.. in all the acclaim that Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart gathered they have never tried to invest and act it out on Hollywood.
Now why would they choose Half of a Yellow Sun ? Because out of all reasons now is the time to inflame the hate among Nigerians, the Psychological influence of such pictures,the dramatic highlight with its insidious message in an undertone is no more important anytime than now, Nigeria will divide 2015, their predictions and they are preparing peoples mind for it.
It is just plain Psychological Operations.

SEFAGO:

You seem to have some major race problems. Ok lets make the leap of faith that Genevieve is in a bigger league than thandie. I can't imagine being an investor an investing money in a movie that would star Genevieve Nnaji. That is a shitty investment.

ThiefOfHearts:

Sucks to be you then.

Genevieve is full blooded nigerian, of course to you it would be a "shtty investment" to cast an Igbo girl on a movie based on Igbo history. Yes that makes soooooooooo much sense.

I wonder why they didnt they just didnt use Angela Bassett to play Sarafina in the movie Sarafina. I mean wouldnt it make sense to use a "big name American" to protray Apartheid history instead of an actual South African?

Abi? LOL.

Anyway na your own palavar. None of what yall spewing makes sense to anyone but yourselves. Wetin be my concern, Half Of The Yellow Sun isnt a Yoruba story so I don talkj my own. If you like if they decide to do a story on Achebe, cast Denzel Washington LOL

So what part of South Africa is Whoopi Goldberg from? (since you brought up the name Sarafina) I hate it when these Genevieve ass-kissing fan girls failed to see Logic!

If the writter wanted a Nollywood crash-B@ng-Wallop movies she would have handed it to a Nollywood director

VillageBoi: No be Naija we be? No be surname we dey use again? Teehee...

Afam4eva:
Who calls genevieve "Nnaji"? She's either called Genevieve Nnaji or just Genevive.

if you understand Search Engine Optimization and the way google algorithm works, you'll get the drift.

ThiefOfHearts:

Hey illiterate

It's a discussion. I know that is foreign to Nigerians as you people only know how to hack each other up with machetes but it's something I do often. if you have issues with it, ignore me

ThiefOfHearts:

Dude are you reetarded? Was Whoopi the star of the movie? was the movie NAMED after Whoopi? You are aware that Whoopi was only in the movie for 18mins before she was killed off, right? Also the only NON-SA in the movie.

Stop arguing with me when itr comes to film. Seriously. I know you Naija zombies think as a dude you must respond to EVERYTHING including things you know NOTHING about but in my case, I suggest you dont even try it. Now when it comes to stuff like ManU, go right ahead but cinema? Please dont

But knowing your kind, you probvbaly will cos bantering with women online like market women is your job so I will be ignoring whatever ignorant BS you spew next time. Alailojuti.
