Genevieve Nnaji & Omotola Jalade Still In Supremacy Battle?
, Ibinabo Fiberesima stepped into all the grievances between top actresses shortly after her inauguration.
However, investigations showing that the beautiful Nollywood actresses are still not friends. Recall that Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde was named Most Influential Nigerian by Time Magazine early this year. As it could be, Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), the guild where the actress has remained loyal to for many years decided to celebrate and honor her.
Guess what? Genevieve Nnaji was not only absent from the event but also close friends disclosed that she was angry for the accolades showered on Omotola. Sources say the Imo born screen diva is still angry with the organisers of the event till today.
Again, the talented actress, Ms. Genevieve was among the lucky Nollywood practitioners who were honored on Wednesday November 27, 2013 at Grand Awards of Nollywood @20, a situation that has been questioned by many people from Omotola’s camp. According to them, Genevieve is not supposed to be honored for her contributions in movie industry without Omotola’s name appearing on the same list. “Omotola’s name was omitted.” They say.
Simply because Omotola’s name was not in the list and she was nowhere near the venue of this grand event, as an invitation must have been sent to her weeks before yesterday. Yours truly is noticing that a strong supremacy battle is still brewing between the two actresses. This is because; there are strong speculations that Omotola’s name was intentionally omitted from the event to bring Genevieve Nnaji back. “The two ladies are putting guild heads into serious problems, because if you are honoring one of them, the other will want same or there will be issues. Most times, you cannot carry two of them along at the same time. Omotola was named Times Magazine’s Most Influential Nigerian not Genevieve and AGN did the right thing by honoring her. So, was the idea anyway close to telling the AGN head not to honor such positive development? They should help others to help themselves,” a source who begged anonymity stated.

Nigerian man killed by a lorry after storming out of car during row with his wife

Daily Mail reports
Nahinmu Nicholas had stormed out of the Ford Focus with his suitcases, saying he was going to hitch-hike to Heathrow, but was knocked down by a lorry in the morning darkness.
His wife had pulled over on what they both thought was the hard shoulder of the M25, not realising that it was a live lane because of roadworks. A coroner was told that lorry driver Martin Hook was unable to avoid Mr Nicholas as he suddenly caught sight of him.www.michealhills.blogspot.com
His 13-tonne bread lorry also struck
the couple’s car in the accident just six minutes after they had stopped
on the clockwise carriageway of the M25 at junction 6 for Godstone,
Surrey, at around 4.30am on April 10.
Florence
Olokun-Ola told the inquest in Woking, Surrey, that her husband was
going to Nigeria alone for 12 days and that the fight started because
she wanted their bank card while he was away. ‘The argument became very
aggressive and his voice changed,’ she added.
Mrs
Olokun-Ola, who had earlier told how financial problems had caused
tension in their relationship, said she no longer felt comfortable
driving and pulled over to what she thought was the hard shoulder.
She added: ‘He took off his seat belt. As soon as the car stopped he took the keys and opened the boot and took out his luggage. He put it by the crash barrier.’
In an attempt to get her husband back in the car Mrs Olokun-Ola drove forward a bit, but he started to walk back down the carriageway trying to thumb a lift.
Then she felt the force of the collision as the lorry struck the rear of her car.
‘I got out the car and at first I was angry because he didn’t come running over to see if I was okay,’ she said. She then discovered her husband’s body and ran back to the car to dial 999.
Mr Hook said he was travelling through the roadworks at 50mph. ‘The next thing I knew was there was a dark shadow in front of me,’ he added. ‘I turned straight away to the centre of the carriageway.’
A post-mortem examination concluded that Mr Nicholas died as a result of severe head injuries.
Accident reconstruction officer PC Dominic Gibson said that the stretch of the M25 where the accident happened was unlit. He said there were signs warning that the hard shoulder was now a live lane.
Assistant Surrey Coroner Michael Burgess recorded a verdict that Mr Nicholas, of Dartford, Kent, died as a result of a road traffic collision.
