Actress Jemima Osunde Reveals In An Interview – How Genevieve Nnaji Pranked Me On Set Of ‘Lionheart’

Posted: 12 Jan 2022 03:00 AM PST

Nollywood Actress, Jemima Osunde in a new interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Rubbin' Minds, opened up about working with her senior colleague, Genevieve Nnaji on Netflix's movie, Lionheart.

In 2018, Genevieve made what went on to become Netflix's first Nollywood original feature film, Lionheart. The movie starred other Nollywood icons including Pete Edochie, Nkem Owoh, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Jemima Osunde and others.

Genevieve is very well known for her privacy and elusive living. Jemima revealed that she had the same opinion about her before she met her, but after meeting the veteran Actress, it was a different story.

Jemima went on to recount a story from her experience to illustrate Genevieve's character.

Speaking about Lionheart and working alongside Genevieve, Jemima Osunde said:
 
"When I got the call for 'Lionheart', I thought it was a prank call. I had told the person that unfortunately, I had exams at school and I would not be able to do this project, sorry. That was it.

Then a day later, he calls back and he's like "Oh, the executive producer said we should get your timetable, we will work with your schedule."

I was like "The hell? I said I'm not doing, is it by force? Tell them I have exams in Lagos, you people are filming in Enugu, how do I want to do it?"

Then he was like, "Oh but Miss Genevieve–" I said "Wait, what? Who? Which of the Genevieves?" He was like, "Genevieve Nnaji, that is the owner of–", I was like "Ohhh, you should have started with that!".

I have always wanted to work with her. Always wanted to meet her. And I think the whole experience for me was wholesome.

I went there with a perception. I thought she was very strict and nah, Genevieve was cracking jokes. I remember the day that I was supposed to catch a flight to Lagos for an exam I had the next day. My clinical exam which if I had missed was an automatic extra year. I missed my flight.

So I was sitting in Enugu on set at 7pm when I had clinical exam 8am the next day in Lagos. I was sweating, I was under pressure, and I was just like I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Anyone who has watched Lionheart knows it's about a transportation company. So (Genevieve) was like "Ah, should we reserve one of the drivers for Lionheart?" I was just like honey, this is not a joke. I was under pressure. But she had sorted it out. She already had a way out for me. So it was somehow comical for her to watch me be under pressure and react not knowing what she had planned. I had the absolute best time working with her."

Posted: 12 Jan 2022 12:30 AM PST

Veteran dancer, Kafayat Oluwatoyin Shafau, simply known as Kaffy confirms the separation from her husband as she narrates he marriage experience.

The 42-year-old dancer made this known in a post via her Instagram page where she confirmed separation from Joseph Ameh, a music director and drummer, with whom they had two kids together.

"I have always wanted to see my ex be the best version of himself and even breaking up the marriage was also to see that we both grew into what we really are supposed to be. Marriage is supposed to be an alignment of destinies driving towards a place that God wants us to be and mine really did not work out that way.

"Rather than looking at somebody as a problem, you could be the problem of that person. Being an enabler of someone not being able to do what they are supposed to do can also be that you are not supposed to be in that space.

"So, there was a lot to learn and there is still a lot more to learn. I want to express that and motivate you to understand that life is not all about reaction to the world; it is not about reacting to what want you to say or what the world wants to hear; what the world wants you to be or what the world wants you to wear; what the world wants you to look like or get married," she said.

Now it's funny how she is giving me price for something I willing wanted to buy to recipocrate love back. So I kuku told her to take to the art gallery and sell it for same price.

Funny enough I get artworks over 12 as gifts free. Now you see why the rich run from the poor.

Now you see why people especially celebrities never respond to you, because you always want to rip them off.

Change your mindset and stop being a collected, honestly I wanted to dash her 100k.

Learn to be a giver, you must not always collect."
