Genevieve Nnaji was absent at the BFI London Film
Festival premiere of Half of a Yellow Sun because she
was 'ill with the flu', her publicist says.
The Nollywood actress who plays a supporting role in the
2013 Nigerian drama film directed by Biyi Bandele was
missing at the premiere which had in attendance
Chimamanda Adichie as well as actors Chiwetel Ejiofor,
OC Ukeje, Best Games boss Nimi Akinkugbe and
Director General of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) in Nigeria, Arunma Oteh.
'Unfortunately Genevieve was unable to attend the London
premiere of 'Half Of A Yellow Sun' as she was taken ill
with the flu and advised to rest', publicist Vannessa Amadi
told Nigerian Entertainment Today.
Amadi explains that Genny was pretty sad she couldn't
attend as 'she had flown into the UK just days before
specifically for the event'.
We are told Genevieve has 'completely recovered' and is
back to work. We have also learnt, the 34-year-old
Nollywood superstar is back in Nigeria.
In other news, peep that Chanel White Quilted Caviar
Leather Classic Maxi Jumbo flap shoulder bag Genny is
carrying in the picture above. It's worth about $4000
(approximately N630,000).
