The First Time I Met Genevieve Nnaji, I Hid In a Car: Mercy Johnson
The Nollywood Screen Goddess opened up to City people magazine on the first time she met Genny.
The first time I met her, my friend took me there. When we got to where she was, I became nervous. I told my friend “no let me hide in your boot.” And I did. I got into her boot. (laughs) Can you imagine I came to see her and when I got there I wanted to run back. I jumped into my friends boot. So, when she came out of the hotel, I could not see her, I could only hear her voice.
The 2nd time I saw her was on set. When she came down and I met her she said ahh! Mercy I like your movies and I started crying. I was in tears of joy. I said Aunty Genevieve, so you watch my movies....cont
She was sort of embarrassed. Before I met her, she had already known that there was somebody who was crazily insane about her. She was really nice to me, receptive. And even whenever we work together she will correct me and say that thing you did, you could have done it this way.
Usually, in life, you will know somebody, who is more than you. Give him or her that respect. You can’t fight a battle you can’t win. It does not make any sense. If somebody is much more than you, there is nothing as big as you admitting it, and hearing from that person. I didn’t come into the picture to compete with anybody. I didn’t come into the picture to rub shoulders or outshine anybody. I came to learn, do it well, make it and be there.
On stories of their rumored beef
I really don’t know. I love Genevieve a lot. Growing up I discovered myself on time, I got to know my potentials. I got to know my weaknesses and I respected them. So, I didn’t really look at anybody as a threat, because the field is big enough. It is so large. All you have to do is make your footprint matter and people will come. You don’t force the fans to like you. In my entire career nobody for me has been worth my distraction or was enough to be a competition for me. It is do your thing I do my thing. We have different physiques, different voices. Let the fans choose, who does it better. It is only those who don’t know the meaning of self-realization that will begin to see someone as a threat. I never did see anybody as a threat. I saw my seniors as a pathway for me to learn from, not as a threat. I didn’t come into the industry because I wanted to take over from them, because there is no movie I will do that will measure up to what they had done.
There is no acting I will act today that Genevieve has not acted. So, it was more like I want to learn from you, and I want to better myself for me, not because I want to edge you out. The industry is so large that only one person can’t occupy it. It is when you don’t understand who you are, when you have not realized self actualization, you don’t know who you are, that is when you begin to see people as a threat, or as a competitor. That came up at a point in my career. It came up and it even made me stronger and bigger. Nobody was actually worth my distraction, or strong enough to be a competition for me.

Class: Kimye's Baby, North West Has a Gold Toilet, Already Owns $1 MILLION in Jewelry!
If you thought Kim and Kanye buying a $20 million mansion was obnoxiously extravagant, you may want to stop reading here.The latest issue of Star magazine is filled with details about the many astonishing ways in which Mr. and Mrs. West spoilt their only daughter, North, and the whole thing is far more ridiculous than you could ever imagine.
The info comes from an unnamed source close to the couple who says Kim and Kanye "see Nori as an extension of themselves" and are "addicted to spoiling her."
The insider presumably provided the following details without bursting into laughter or tears. Good for her!
- Remember the gold toilets at the Kimye wedding? Norri has a mini one of her own!
- Nori has a six-figure handbag collection that includes a customized "mini-Berkin!"
- Kanye has already shelled out over a mill to dress Norri in custom clothes from Givenchy, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton!
- Highlights of North's $1 million dollar jewelry collection include a $75,000 pair of diamond earrings and ruby bracelet insured for $500,000!
- Kanye has stipulated that North must only travel in Range Rovers, Bentleys, Porsches, and the like. He's been reportedly been heard to remark, "This girl is never riding in a Honda!"
- And, of course, the source says Kim and Kanye, "Don't want [North] associating with people who aren't rich, famous or 'good enough' for her."
Ladies Beware! 10 Signs He Is Not Going To Propose To You
One of the biggest dating questions which haunt women is whether her boyfriend is ready to commit. She may be sticking around with him for almost a couple of years now, hoping that he will make up his mind and still waiting for the elusive engagement ring. If you don’t want this to happen to you, learn to pick up ten signs which tell you that he’s not going to propose marriage in a hurry.
1.He Never Discusses Marriage
This is perhaps the first hint that should start ringing warning bells in your mind. Your boyfriend cannot be caught dead talking about marriage as an institution or even commenting on commercials for wedding products and services. He won’t mention it even if his own brother is getting married and he is going to be the best man. His aversion to the M-word should be indication enough that marriage does not figure anywhere in his near future.
2.He Is Hugely Ambitious (Overambitious)
Guys whose only mission in their lives is to reach the top of their professional ladder are likely to take their time settling down. This is because emotional commitment to a partner might force them to cut down on their working hours and make networking with business contacts or frequent out-of-town trips difficult. Though this is not to say that married guys don’t find success – witness President Obama and Bill Gates - super ambitious men who are perpetually looking for the next bigger and better thing are more likely to consider marriage as leading to professional stagnation.
3.All His Friends Are Single
This is as sure a sign as any that your boyfriend is not going to
propose marriage. If you notice that his social circle is exclusively
made of bachelors and divorced men, it is evident that he is
uncomfortable around married couples and has no plans to join their
ranks in near future.
4.He Has Strong intimate Needs
A guy who places great emphasis on sex and considers it the most important part of a relationship is unlikely to settle for a single partner. Gone are the days when men could be baited into marriage on the lure of sex. The dissociation of sex and marriage as well as intimate freedom for women has also made it easier for men to keep sleeping around unless they wish to marry for other reasons. And if your boyfriend has a large intimate appetite, it is unlikely to be satisfied by a single person. He will sooner or later get tired of being with you and move on to someone else he can go to bed with.
5.He Lives Out Of A Suitcase
Men with unstable living conditions usually have priorities like work
and travel which are bound to clash with a stable married life. You may
be thrilled to have a high-flying war correspondent or wildlife
photographer as a boyfriend, but such people are unlikely to settle down
to tame domesticity. Far easier to spot - and avoid – are guys who are
in and out of jobs or in trouble with the law and thus perpetually on
the move. Rather look for men who have stable lives since they are the
ones more likely to be looking for stable relationships.
6.He Does Not take You To Meet His Family
This is an unmistakable sign that a guy is not considering marriage even
though he may be dating someone. Men usually discuss their families
only with those who are close enough to be let into their inner lives.
If your boyfriend has never suggested that you meet his parents and even
appears to be uncomfortable talking about them to you, then perhaps he
is not ready to make you an intrinsic part of his life.
7.You Don’t Figure In His Plans
When talking about his future, does your guy merely discuss his goals of
starting a business someday and are his dreams limited to retiring by
the sea with his very own beach house and luxury boat? If so or
something similar, then this is an indication that you are not part of
his future plans and thus unlikely to be his wife any time soon. Unless
of course, he goes through a life-changing experience and realizes the
value of a committed relationship which is again putting too much store
by chance and therefore not worth wasting your life for.
8.He Doesn’t Ask You About Yours
In a reversal of the above point, a guy unwilling to commit will also be
uninterested to know about your life goals and hopes for the future.
The present- comfortably carefree and uncomplicated - is good enough for
him. He does not want to know if you want to eventually settle in the
suburbs or how many kids would you like to have and whether you would
prefer little girls or boys. Hell, he doesn’t even want to know where
you have always wanted to go for your honeymoon! If you find all this
true in case of your boyfriend, then you can kiss your dreams of
marrying him goodbye and start looking for a more suitable guy.
9.He Is Divorced
While divorced men are technically single and thus seeming candidates
for a committed relationship, if your guy has gone through a
particularly messy divorce, then probably he cannot bear the thought of
marrying again. To be sure about this, pry around gently to see how
badly he feels about his breakup and whether the scars are deep enough
to be permanent. Other than emotional issues, a divorced man may also be
caught up in child support and alimony so as to make any further
commitments completely out of the question.
10.He Is Not Forthcoming About Personal Information
Have you ever wondered why your boyfriend is always vague when you ask
him about his work and where he lives? You might have a rough idea that
he is into finance and that he commutes from the suburbs but if he is
unwilling to clearly share his personal information with you, probably
he has something to hide – a spouse or a lover maybe. Or more likely he
is determined to keep you away from the rest of his personal life. Not
exactly marriage material, is he?

Davido Owns A Private Jet Now? See Photo
As we all know that Davido is not rich from just his music career, shows, endorsements, etc, the AYE hit-maker is also the son of a Billionaire. We would not be surprise if he owns a private jet because even if he cant afford the bills involved, his father can clear all that without a problem.

Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" Dancer: Bitten By Actual Snake During VMA Rehearsal!
A backup dancer working on the MTV Video Music Awards performance of Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" was bitten by one of the actual snakes during rehearsal Friday.
A six-foot-long boa constrictor named Rocky, who was being used as a prop, bit the dancer; Minaj was on stage and personally rushed to her dancer's side.
According to MTV, the incident occurred when the dancer was carrying the huge snake draped around her shoulders. The music was immediately stopped.
Minaj rushed over asking, "Did she just get bit by the snake?"
The snake, which constricts is prey, is not venomous. The unidentified female was treated at the scene where her wound was cleaned and then hospitalized.
This was done to prevent bacterial infection "out of an abidance of caution," said Chris Velvin, director of production safety for MTV's parent company Viacom.
The rehearsal was in preparation for Sunday's star-studded MTV VMAs.
Velvin said an animal handler was nearby and removed the snake, a Dumeril’s boa constrictor that had worked in the industry for 15 years, from the set.
"This was in no way life-threatening, but scary," Velvin said afterward.
"We wanted her to start getting treatment as soon as possible."
The plan is to use a different snake for Minaj's act, which is guaranteed to be risque and might even rank among the all-time craziest VMA moments ever.
One of Nicki Minaj’s
dancers got bitten by a 6 foot Anaconda snake during rehearsals for the
MTV Music Video awards on Sunday. According to TMZ,
Nicki Minaj was on stage performing her hit, “Anaconda” when a female
dancer was bit by the reptile in front of everyone.We’re told the dancer
has just been taken to the hospital where she’s being treated.
Anacondas are non-venomous snakes but often transmit bacteria that can
lead to serious infections.The snake was removed from the stage in a
container.

How to Know A Fake 'Big' Girl
These are the girls who are usually very attractive, own all the Apple products in this world, live in N1million flats in a very expensive area, but if you check their family background, their parents are struggling in their various villages.
Read their Traits below:
·
1.
Bleached skin and tattoos:
These days, most girls think they have to be
“white-skinned” to be beautiful. They go as far as taking
injections to perfect their skin. They then get tattoos to complete the look.
These girls have to sell their market. When you check their background, their
families are as dark-skinned as they come but these girls look more like Black
or White era Michael Jackson.
·
2. Fake
accent:
This is another common trait. Fake Big Girls roll their tongues
like their lives depend on it. Every vowel, irrespective of the word, is
followed by an ‘R’: Jos become Jors; Taxi, Tarxi; Abuja, Abujarrr.
·
3. Long
‘human’ hair:
If they do not have the Brazilian hair that reaches
their butt, they haven’t arrived. Picture the combo: bleached skin, fake accent
and long Brazilian hair. Most of these girls don’t even have up to N10, 000 in
their bank accounts but they have to impress. All na packaging!
·
4. Own the
latest android phones:
This draws me back to a Nigerian movie I watched weeks
ago. Funke Akindele’s character sold her bed just so she could buy an Android
phone. She preferred to sleep on a bare mattress on the floor than use her
regular Nokia phone just so she could impress the guys and catch “proper fish.”
This is exactly what fake girls do. They would own the iPhone 5s, S4, iPad. Before
the iPhone6 is out, they already have it yet they don’t have regular jobs. So
where do they get all that money from?
·
5. Don’t
invite you to their houses:
Oh yes..... never want you to know where they live; it would
ruin the illusion of their prosperous lives. Picture this, as a guy, you meet
this pretty light skinned lady, who owns all the nicest phone and tablets,
maybe drives a car if the hustle is tight; long Brazilian hair and a little
cash in their bank account. As a guy, you believe you are toasting or dating a
girl who has money. So, why would she invite you to her “face me I face you” to
spoil her packaging?
Everybody’s hustle is different but that of the Fake
Big Girl is the realest; take note.
My Marriage lasted for less than a month: Comedienne Princess finally opens up on her marriage breakup
Comedienne Damilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess opened up in a recent interview with Punch about her marriage which lasted less than a month after their wedding.
Read Excerpts Below..
"Why did you suddenly decide to go and study French?
I have always been interested in learning languages, even our own Nigerian languages. For my profession, there is no limit to knowledge. You don’t know where the job might take you.
You have been in the industry for some time now, how has it been?
It has been okay. We have been managing by the grace of God. But last year, I was a bit down. I was in the hospital for some time and I needed to get myself together again physically and otherwise before I start running up and down again.
What was wrong with you?
We thank the Lord for His mercies.
You didn’t say what was wrong with you that you had to be hospitalised?
But you already know. We thank the Lord. The most important thing is that I am alive and better. I appreciate life more. But this one you are asking, e no reach make I sick? After my husband left after our wedding, was it not enough reason for me to be sick? Ah! The Lord is our strength.
Why are you making fun of this?
Ah! I am telling you the truth o. The truth is that we all have challenges in our lives. I have always believed that the challenge is not the issue but how you get up and get over it. I was very down last year. It was my low moment. But with the help of God and the support of my family and friends, I am here now. I am happy.
Are you no longer depressed?
I was never depressed. I reacted like every normal human being would react if she embarks on a lifetime journey and it doesn’t go as she planned it. But God has a reason for everything.
You make people laugh, are there times you wish somebody would also make you laugh?
I wish that all the time. If you give me N5m cheque, I will laugh from now till tomorrow morning. If you give me a property at Ikoyi, I will laugh for a month nonstop; you will beg me to stop laughing.
One young comedian said recently that the older comedians steal their jokes and claim them as theirs, do you agree with him?
Ha! Doesn’t it sound somehow? It is just like me saying that Alibaba stole my jokes. He has been here for a while and he has his repertoires. For him to be relevant still means that he is doing something nice. I just started 12 years ago and somebody that started last year would say I am using his jokes. What was I using before? I cannot dispute the fact that sometimes, comedians can just tell a colleague’s joke. But in Nigeria, I don’t think we have copyright on our jokes. However, it is good to be dynamic and reinvent yourself. I am original. I don’t need to copy anybody. This is the job God has sent me to do and He will provide jokes for me till the end of time.
So you have really spent 12 years in the industry?
Oh yes. God has been faithful and I have the will to be better and carve a niche. It makes you want to be a trail blazer and want to move on. I have had massive support from great people. They appreciate me and I want to do better. I am intelligent. It is not easy to be an Engineering graduate and also a Theatre Arts graduate.
How?
I studied Electrical Electronics Engineering at the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro and I read Theatre Arts at the University of Lagos. I am a student of Alliance d Francais. I am too much. I am a member of the Rotary Club. So don’t try me.
What happened to your acting career?
I still act but I have not done any movie in a while. I have spoken to some of my friends in recent times and I think I will come back on board. Acting is my first love. It is just that comedy takes a lot of time. You have to travel a lot to make people happy. I am also a caterer.
As a Theatre Art student, was it your desire to go into comedy?
No. I never knew I would be a stand-up comedian. I thank God any way. We went for a show at MUSON Centre (Lagos). We had a stage play performance. I used to make my friends laugh during rehearsals. So that day, we were waiting for the comedians that were supposed to perform at that event. So somebody suggested that I should go on the stage and perform. That was how it started. But the likes of Wale Adenuga encouraged me to go into it full time.
Are there times you wish you weren’t a celebrity especially when you are linked with controversies?
The only time I felt bad about my fame was when my marriage ended. I felt if I weren’t this popular; people wouldn’t have talked about it. So many marriages crash on a daily basis but you will not hear about them. Some people have been married five times but you will not hear their gist because they are not in the eye of the public. People didn’t know that the marriage had broken up until December when I felt I was strong enough to handle the publicity that it generated.
Were you shocked with the kind of publicity it generated?
I was shocked! People called me from all parts of the world including China. Some people cried while some people felt happy. Some guys said they were happy my marriage ended. Some said they were not happy that I even married the guy. Some said I looked older than him. Some said my marriage shouldn’t have ended just like that. People talked and talked. But the only time you know your marriage is successful is when you live with your partner and God calls one of you home. Marriage of 30 years can still break up. It is a bad thing for a marriage to breakup. So you can imagine the unhappiness the parties involved would be going through. Nobody is happy when his/her marriage ends. Some people see me outside and ask, ‘your marriage has ended, how do you feel?’ I will answer them that I am jumping up or how else do they expect me to feel? Nonsense! A comedian once said that ‘complete’ and ‘finish’ appear to have the same meaning but they are not the same. If you marry the right person, you are complete but if you marry the wrong person, you are finished.
Were you in love with him in the first place?
I got married to somebody who I was in love with. At that time, he also said he loved me. Unfortunately, the marriage ended too soon.
Why?
It was due to irreconcilable differences. It is not a thing of joy. I don’t think we should celebrate sadness and bad news. We should be more sensitive. No marriage should end but peradventure it does, don’t make a mockery of that person. You are not even mocking the person, you are mocking God.
Are you giving it another shot?
No! Me ke? Let us struggle first and make some money. In any case, I think I should marry a Chinese or an Indian. If many people agree that I should marry a Chinese, then I will go ahead. But a Japanese might be better. Japanese products are strong and reliable.
Is your ex-husband still your friend?
I don’t think you should call him my ‘ex-husband’ because we were together for less than one month. An ex- husband is somebody you marry and after three years or more, you separate. Anyway, I don’t know where he is. We have moved on.
Are you happy?
I am happier now and I am better. I was happy before, the only thing that got me sad was that the marriage ended. I did one wedding and it didn’t go well and I am alive. I should thank God. A lot of people lose their spouses just after a week of marriage. As long as you are alive, have hope. If God says I should marry again, I will follow His will. I have made my own attempt, let God make His own. I am sure he (ex-husband) is okay anywhere he is anyway.
Wasn’t the break-up your fault?
No. it wasn’t my fault. I can’t really say it was his fault too. It was just irreconcilable differences. We met and we were in love and we quickly got married. Maybe we got married too quickly but I have seen people who got married a month after they met and the marriage lasted. Our own didn’t work out. There is no need to apportion blame.
Do you still believe in love?
I have always believed in fairy tales and a knight in shining armour but my marriage didn’t go that way unfortunately.
There is usually a stigma associated with women who are divorced, doesn’t that bother you?
Stigma ke? That was before. Men can afford to have 20 children from different women. If your wife is abusing you and you cannot take it, my brother, please take a walk. If your husband is abusing you, take a walk. If it is like my own case that both of you cannot agree, you also need to take a walk before somebody wounds the other person. Death is final. So it is better to take off before it degenerates into death. I know somebody that separated from his wife and years later, he came back and begged her and they are back together. He, who fights and runs away lives to fight another day. Don’t die there.
So what if your husband comes back?
No o. But like I said; he, who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.
Have you always been this big?
No! I was very slim before but I didn’t like it. I would rather be this big.
