“Nollywood Star Genevieve Nnaji Condemns Viral Advice for Igbo Men to Avoid Igbo Women”

Nollywood icon Genevieve Nnaji has issued a sharp response to a viral tweet advising Igbo men to avoid marrying Igbo women and instead seek wives from other African countries.

The controversy erupted after a photo of a Rwandan woman, reportedly engaged to an Anambra man, went viral. Resharing the image, the user wrote:

“Dear Igbo men, instead of marrying an Igbo woman who’ll falsely accuse you of raping your daughter, better look outside for a wife. Go to East Africa, especially Rwanda, and pick a damsel. They’re all over social media, and you can link up with them.”

Genevieve, who rarely engages in online drama, fired back:

“In other words, instead of checking yourself and taking accountability, go for the unsuspecting and carry on with your evil. Got it.”

Another user attempted to defend the original tweet, claiming it targeted false rape accusers and criticized Genevieve for not addressing that issue.

“His tweet was clearly against false rape accusers, but instead of holding the evil women accountable and demanding change, you chose to tweet this?”

Genevieve responded firmly, emphasizing fairness:

“The same way a woman can’t tell an abusive man apart from a good one is the same way you shouldn’t say avoid all Igbo women. ‘Not all women’.”
