Nollywood legend Genevieve Nnaji ignited online discussions after responding to a Twitter user who suggested Igbo men should avoid marrying Igbo women. The exchange began following a viral photo showing a Rwandan woman reportedly engaged to a man from Anambra.
Controversial Suggestion for Igbo Men
The social media user shared the photograph with a provocative caption: “Dear Igbo men, consider finding spouses outside your ethnicity rather than marrying Igbo women who might make false accusations.” He specifically recommended Rwandan women as potential partners.
Nnaji’s Sharp Response
Genevieve, who rarely participates in online disputes, countered: “Essentially, rather than self-reflect and take responsibility, target unsuspecting individuals and continue harmful behavior. Understood.”
Defending Perspectives Emerge
Another user challenged Genevieve’s interpretation, stating the original post focused specifically on false accusers. They questioned why she didn’t address accountability for problematic behavior instead.
The actress firmly replied: “Just as women can’t instantly identify abusive men, you shouldn’t condemn all Igbo women. Remember: not every woman fits that description.”
