Nollywood diva Genevieve Nnaji falls sick in london

It was an anti-climax for Nollywood superstar
Genevieve Nnaji a.k.a Genny after she flew to London
for last weekend’s premier of the movie of the
moment, Half of a Yellow Sun, only to fall sick and
miss the big event. The cruel fate that befell
Genevieve, who plays Ms. Adebayo in the world
acclaimed movie, was disclosed by the director, Biyi
Bandele, who said they missed Genny at the
premiere. According to Bandele in a post on his
Facebook wall on Sunday,
“Just got back from the BFI London Film Festival
European premiere of Half of a Yellow Sun at the
Odeon West End. Humbled and moved by the
Capturous reception the audience gave it. It was also
great to see the hardest working actor on our
hemisphere, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and the great John
Boyega, and the amazing Babou Ceesay, and the
one and only Onyeka Onwenu. And Chimamanda
Ngozi Adichie, of course. Without whom… We
missed Thandie, who is on location in Vancouver.
We missed Genevieve, who flew in for the
premiere and promptly went down with a flu
(mind yourself o, London weather). What a night
though. What a night.”
