GENEVIEVE NNAJI BECAME NIGERIA'S MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE ENTERTAINER


She has only failed in One aspect of her endeavor in recent time.That was when she tried her hand in singing.
But even at that,Genevieve Nnaji’s album,gave her stupendous cash.This is because the owners of the record label on which she did her music trial paid her handsomely to produce the album.But that is the low point in an illustrious career that has been celebrated from Nigeria to Africa and the world stage.

In the last six years,no one has been celebrated and adored like Genevieve as she has won all awards in the movie industry and represented Nollywood all over the world.

Genevieve has also made a fortune from the movie industry becoming the highest paid actress ever.

With her fortunes has also come the fame which has now led her to become a Member of the Federal Republic,MFR,the fourth highest honour in the land.

Genevieve was honoured yesterday by President Goodluck Jonathan alongside other Nollywood stars Olu Jacobs, Kanayo O kanayo, Amaka Igwe,stephanie Okereke, Osita Iheme.

Genevieve shows appreciation to fans, she tweeted I want to share this with all my twe EVES!! All of u who hv stood by me thru the yrs and and hv said Aye! Wr others hv said Nah.I give all glory to God almighty,but want to especially dedicate this medal to you.U rock ! xx

Knocked- Off, Kardashian Style?

I get it and it's actually very smart-- once someone becomes famous for being famous, it's time to capitalize on that fame and make some serious moolah. And that's exactly what the Kardashian sisters did. *Mama K knows best, I tell ya!* Don't get me wrong, I love these girls-- they are seriously entertaining to watch and reality shows like that can't get any more realistic... Not :)

And then they ventured into bags. There could only be 2 results= either they hit the mark, or they miss it entirely. The sisters reportedly said they worked very closely together on the designs for each bag. 

*Bitch Mode Alert in 3...2...* I'm sure they spent a lot of time meeting up and working on the designs-- with other designer bags in mind. Sorry girls, I love you, but your bag collection is just plain insulting to the brands you (consciously... or wait, was this all a coincidence? lol) paid homage to. 

Kan you say Knockoff with a Kapital K, please? Note that some bags resemble their designer counterparts more than the others. But tell me, oh please tell me they were NOT thinking of those bags when they were studiously designing them? I put their bags next to their designer counterparts for good measure. I know the designer bags don't deserve this (and the brands will most likely not be happy about the side by side comparison), I'm sorrrrrry. But I have to prove my point here.

Here goes!

Bag # 1: At least this is not that similar. K's has that hideous zipper like it's about to reveal a boob or something. LOL.  The inspiration is there somewhere though.
I'm not even going to bother posting the Balenciaga lookalike anymore. Bottomline, I just can't. Sure, there are so many bags out there that are designer- inspired. Loads, in fact! But please Kardashian girls, don't attempt to make a "quick buck" through shortcuts like this. You girls obviously know you will "sell". I had just hoped you'd have put more effort into the creative process when you design your merchandise. At least give that to your fans. I'm a fan, but there's no way I'll buy any of the bags above-- it was not a well- thought out collection. Disappointed is not even a word that can articulately describe my sentiment. 

Before I end this rather snarky post about the bags, I still want to end it on a good note because I'm really not one to hang on to a negative mood. So here goes--  really, there is one good thing about this whole collection-- the price points. :) Now knock yourselves out! LOL
