The actress who stated that she can't return to the blandness and mediocrity that characterized Nollywood in the past.” , is under attack for her response.

Nollywood director Mac Collins, who has directed movies like 'Maltida the Iron Bender' and Nkoli Nwa Nsuka' has expressed his dissappointment.

In a statement released, the director said Genevieve should come and improve Nollywood instead of blasting the industry that brought her fame and fortune.

"Genevieve has just insulted the industry that made her who she is today and what effort has she made to help improve Nollywood? Those days in Enugu when Genevieve was growing in Nollywood, our movies were not rubbish; she has grown now, made money, fame, popularity e.t.c, how much has she invested in this Industry that made her?

All the while she was busy waiting for Titanic scripts, Nollywood was trying their best to keep the flag flying waiting for her to come back and take the industry to the next level. Artistes should stop biting the fingers that fed them. We are watching and waiting for them to bring down heaven. We made them stars; we are waiting for them to come back and take the industry to the next level. Instead of blasting Nollywood, come and improve Nollywood.” said Chidebe
