I just heared that Genevieve Nnaji was listed Oprah Show today as one of the world's most famous people. Although she was not there in person, her Pics and one of her video was profiled for about 45 seconds.

Congrates to Genny. You make us proud. Keep lifting the bar higher and higher.

Your best years are ahead of you.

When is it showing. I was so excited and screaming so hard, i forgot to get the date. just soooooooooo proud of her and Nigeria. Good for our country to be showcased in a good light for once

@newintexas

It was aired today in Chicago. You can check Oprah's site 4 more details

Such an achievement, go gurl!!! Whr r all the other actresses that are supposedly more popular than Genny, won't mention names. Most must be soooooooo green with envy as we speak lol.

Genny automatically becomes the first Nigerian movie star to achieve this feat, among her many firsts. It will bring huge mainstream interest to Nigerian and African movies. It will open more doors for Nollywood and her too.

Go Genny! I'm so proud of you. Keep shining like the star you are. Who God has blessed, none can curse.

Is the impact of Nollywood felt in the US?

Pray tell, whats wrong with celebrating Genevieve as a Nigerian [/b]without the tribal undertone?

@ Topic: She's stunning, she's good in what she does and she's [b]Naija!

Well, i think she's lucky !!!

geneWHO

thank God for this one, at least nigerians are not being protrayed as bad pipo inthis regard.
is Genny really an Ibo girl? thought she was from benue state?

@ chosen04

Baby wats up, I am too sure you are the next Igbo girl to create history,

haaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! am so so glad, thank God for you dearie, will never ever stop loving you. the sky is yr starting point

Genevieve Nnaji! I LOVE YOU.

Good. kudos to her for individual effort in representing Nigeria appropriately unlike some other members of her clan tarnishing our image all over the place.

Yeah like the New york cartel busted recently ^^^

weytin the babe dey do way make oprah talk that kinda yarns? i believe say genevieve do bribe am!!!

This is refreshing news for a country that takes a medal for always being in the news for wrong reasons.   Its a pity we are almost reducing it to a tribal victory here,

nnaji has made us proud

Well thank God for her but what as that need to do with anybody sorry this my personal opinion which I'm entitle to, I dont care either her name was mention in U.S, Canada even in outer space, these are those called Nolywood or Nothingwood poeple that can not even be proud of their culture and heritage rather they hang firmly on becoming so engulf in popularity showof and no discipline life as an true Ibo woman or wherever part of East she came from these Ibo are the people I respect alot when it comes to woman living a discipline life but to date how many of these eastern(Ibo) nollywood or stupidwood actress we can point to that has a stable and responsible Ibo woman life just a handful of them, we are watching them everyday, reading their lifestle like test book everyday, read news about them and even close to some of them sorry I am not proud of them in anyway way "Africa is Africa" "Nigeria is Nigeria" please let them be original this where I am going, do things the way a responsible Africa, Nigeria or Ibo woman will do things. So please oprah no oprah that her business I am totally in disagreement when our so called Nollywood are the one that do all sorts of things that is not an African or Nigeria ways of lives. America has never for once want to be Africa or Nigeria but the so called Nollywood always want to America please for what? Lack of identity full stop.

Source?Thank God for her.Good news for Nigeria.
