5 Nollywood Actresses Under 40 That Are More Talented Than Genevieve Nnaji. by Infolenka: 2:09pm On Dec 03, 2020
We all grew up watching Genevieve act and I have huge respect for her. But I'm sick and tired of the hype she gets from the viewers and her fellow actors and actresses. Almost everyone thinks she's the best nollywood actress ever. In my opinion she's not.

There are other more talented actresses with better presence and role interpretation than what Genevieve brings to the table. And they are also more versatile than she is.

Here are 5 actresses under the age of 40 that are more talented than Genevieve.

The three ladies you mentioned up there. I believe, will give you a dirty slap for trying to bring them in the same sentence with elegant Genevieve.

Is like you have special hatred for her. The reason while she's seen that way is because, she's among the first female actress who interpreted the script well.

Is like, others learn from her.

I'm not talking about elegance. I'm talking about acting ability and versatility.

Someone like Toyin Abraham can act all Genevieve's roles perfectly, but Genevieve can't act some of the roles I've seen Toyin kill.

We confuse beauty and elegance with acting. All these ladies act better than Genevieve abeg. Except you don't watch their movies.

Toyin can act all Genevieve's role perfectly?

Now, take a moment and close your eyes, imagine Toyin acting as a posh London returnee. Imagine Toyin pronouncing "Oil" as "Hoil".

Modified : Mercy Johnson to me is the best Nollywood actor/actress. The only thing Genevieve has on her is some time difference nothing else. She can actually make Gennie pee on her victoria secret... argue with ur nonsense phone undecided

You are still conflating acting with accent. You are actually confused.

Any slowpoke with a sprinkle of acting talent can act as a posh London returnee. If this is your threshold for good acting then you don't know what good acting is.

I dare Genevieve to play the role of a street tout who turned a new leaf and became a well-behaved, homely young woman. Toyin can do both very believably but Genevieve can only do one of the two.

I also dare Genevieve to play the role of a lesbian who doubles as a psychopath assassin. I doubt she could even play any of the roles successfully. But Toyin would do both well.

Your Genevieve is all hype.

The comments I'm getting here are funny. Most of you don't know good acting when you see it. You are confusing looks and accent with acting.

Jumoke adetola if not that she only does Yoruba movies, will destroy Genevieve in any nollywood role.

I'm Igbo but I always watch any Yoruba movie I see Jumoke act because her acting is so believable. From facial expressions to emotions to role interpretation.

Respect to Toyin, but, she can't tie Genevieve's shoe lace when it comes to acting.

Yeah, Genevieve is (was) a genuinely brilliant actress, at least by Nigerian/African standards. Mercy and Funke aren't as good as her, and they are good in their own right.

Genevieve, Omotola, Joke Silva, Liz Benson, are tier 1. You don't see them on screen that often these days and that could partly explain why the nollywood movies aren't as decent as they used to be.

crying on screen all the time like a baby doesnt translate to best actor/actress,mercy johnson is good no doubt but the likes of rita dominic,tonto dikeh,patience ozokwor,ini edo etc will give her a run for her money,i dont want to mention the guys sef.

I agree with you.. All these people supporting Genny don't know what good acting is.. Jumoke Odetola is the pick of the bunch, very intelligent and can act multiple roles. I don't know why she hasn't ventured into English movies.. I rate her the best currently
Re: 5 Nollywood Actresses Under 40 That Are More Talented Than Genevieve Nnaji. by Nobody: 6:34pm On Dec 03, 2020
I keep saying this. Genny is gud but overhyped her edge over the others is her long standing in the industry. Genny lacks versatility

Funke, Mercy Johnson, Tony Abraham can interpret any roles, I don't know abt the others on this list cos I haven't seen their movies.

Genny is one of my most admired female celebrities because of her classiness, brain and her not showing off. That babe get class!

......without sentiment, putting interpretation of roles into consideration Genevieve is just above average nothing spectacular, but when grace found someone, other parameters are secondary.
