You all that says that Bimbo or Bingo I don't know, is better than Gene-Nnaji are fools. Gene, is as popular as Obama of United State, why is it that the Bimbo or Bambo u guys called her is not known at all. You judges should judge well. No racism. Yoruba or no Yoruba, Gene is THE BEST in capital. Believe me or not. NB: that in world of Philosophy, I can believe you if only you believe me. Even the Bambo or Bimbo's pix you guy posted here is never identifiable. But in the contrary, if like post a dirty/damaged pix of Gene-Nnaji, all soul must definitly got to that its Gene. So check well.

^^^ You are a FOOL!

H2O2:

Senior fool is what u are! Dare Gene-Nnaji again next time.

heheeeeeeee! 
and they say Mrs.Chima is bad!  *psh!*

@Topic,better actress . . . definitely Bimbo,love her to pieces BUT she has not been as lucky and favored as Genny in the industry.

Waoh! Six yrs on this thread has not degenerated into an ethnicity b.i.t.c.hfest? That is an achievement on NL!
Bimbo can act better than Gene (pls i'm not sayin Gene cant act o. I'm also a huge fan of her) but of course Gene's career will always move higher cos of her superior beauty because in the movie industry beauty rules.

Though am one of Genevieve's greatest fan but when it comes to acting skills and diction; Bimbo Akintola wins, there is no room for comparison here, way to obvious.

Genevieve has that presence and class a lot actresses don't have in Nollywood.

Bimbo Akintola is that actress that would fit stage play/ drama perfectly. She's got good command of English and has years of experience acting. But there is non in Nollywood like Gene

In terms of beauty, one man's acid is another man's antacid. I happen to think Bimbo Akintola is pretty. Genevieve is pretty too (below is the pic of her that I think reveals her face best), but I think Bimbo is prettier. I also don't see the striking prettiness in Genny that is talked about, but she has star-power and good PR. She has,  I am not going to say she has more class, but she has a way of keeping to herself that makes the media/public more intrigued. That is how to stay relevant in the entertainment industry: keep them yearning for more (more information, more dirt, more rumor, more clarification, ). Bimbo Akintola is pretty, but she doesn't fit the Western definition of attractive size as much as Genny does, and we all know more people go with Western everything. Genny is slimmer, but the new Bimbo is slimmer than the old Bimbo.

(below is her current FB profile pic)

Face wise, Bimbo is prettier. English diction wise, Bimbo is better, and it's probably owing to her pedigree (The Akintola in her. Of course I am speculating here). Star-power wise, Genny it is. Stage presence wise, Bimbo. Acting wise, Bimbo. Give Bimbo a mini-role in a movie, and she will still stand out. Case in point, Keeping Faith. She was supposed to be the friend with practically nothing going for her, but she stood out! That's a star right there. Let's face it, if she had an English name, she would have gone places more than she has. Someone in the earlier post even inferred that by saying "how can you compare a Bimbo to a Genny. Look at the names sef" or something to that effect. Did you guys see Back to Life? Bimbo held her own even with Liz Benson in the movie. Her presence was equally felt. Could be the fact that she actually studied this Theater business, in a great school for that matter, long before Nollywood became what it is now. I think that's a sign that she has a passion for acting, and did not just waka dia because of fame or fortune.  Did you not see Dangerous Twins? What I don't like in the Yoruba movies she acts in is that they tend to give her these "big-madam" roles. Almost like they are so in awe of her that they don't think of giving her challenging roles. But she delivers in Yoruba movies too, as she does in stage plays.

Genny is a star! She's a smart business woman. She appears to have mastered the tricks to stay relevant. She has natural talent too, so with just a little bit more training, she might be in Bimbo's level acting wise. But she is an undeniable star. I think she can become irrelevant with time though if she doesn't work on her stage presence. Don't really have an opinion on her personality because we don't really know these people. So maybe she is likeable in person, she needs to bring that to life on stage too. Give us some fire!

A good comparison of skills with Bimbo in the midst should include names like (A+ Listers):
Uche Osostule (Onome)
Kate Henshaw
Stella Damascus
Wale Macaulay
Maureen Iweka
Rita Dominic
Gloria Anozie
Kunle Bamtefa
Clarion Chukwura (Clarion of the 90s)
Lanre Balogun (probably should be on the same list as Liz)
this lady from the East or South South who acted in Hostages (the abused wife of Alhaji in Keeping Faith that went to Funlola's office)
RMD
Shola Shobowale (she probably should be in the same list as Liz too,  I am not sure).

Too good to be on any list (A+++):
Toun Oni
Bukky Ajayi
Mama Rainbow
Liz Benson
Ngozi Nwosu
Funmi Martins
Remi Abiola
Keppy Ekpeyong Bassey
Joke Silva

A listers:
Omotola J E
Nse Ikpe Etim
Dakore Egbuson
Mercy Aigbe
Ramsey Noah
Olu Jacobs

A- List (Acting wise, these A- listers are A to A+, but I wanted to keep the two lists classy)
Mercy Johnson
Ayo Adesanya
Eucharia Anunobi

With Genny in the midst (B listers):
Funlola Aofiyebi (The only reason Funlola is here is, although she is a good actress, I "think" the way she talks is played up/fake. Especially in Violated. If I am wrong, then she belongs with Bimbo and co)
Patience Ozokwor
Chioma Chukwuka
Charion Chukwura (post 90s)

Out of Bounds - "Don't mess with my Tutu", as said by Bimbo Akintola, remains a classic line. And the Gardener? I should scavenge the internet for a copy of that! That was when Nollywood made movies, not churn out garbage!

The problem that I see with a lot of the quality actors in Nigeria is that they relied solely on their skills, which should be a good thing, but not in Nigeria where sex and fakeness sells (case in point: Tonto Dike is described as an A-lister in some publications!!! Tonto what Is she an actress? Even Ini Edo, a D- Lister, is a better actress). Maybe if they all came together to create quality movies, slowly but surely, love of their work will be renewed, and the mediocre "actors" will either be forced to step up their game or phase out.

Notice the ones that get featured by the top notch producers. Tade Ogidan movies are rare, but you can be sure that these golden fishes are going to be fished out to take up roles in them. Same goes for Ego Boyo's movies.
