Following a recent release by Producer, Charles Novia on
Nollwood's five best actresses with Rita Dominic taking
the least position, the two celebrities have engaged in a
twitter battle.

According to the producer on his website, Rita Dominic's
role in the movie 'Finding Mercy' was her least
performance as an actor 'I also watched her in another
recently released movie, 'Finding Mercy' but felt that she
gave a listless and lukewarm performance in that flick' he
wrote.

Although admitting that Rita had a good year with a couple
of awards and nominations, the producer said she has more
to prove and also needs to be selective of her roles from
now on because there might be 'false slips ahead'.

This seems to have gotten the actress infuriated as she
replied him on twitter as soon as her role in the same movie
was appreciated by the Best of Nollywood (BON) awards.

'Check that Charles has not drowned himself. BEST
SUPPORTING ACTRESS ENGLISH (BONAwards): Rita
Dominic for 'Finding Mercy'. She tweeted on Friday,
December 6.

However, the producer took it calm but not relenting in his
earlier view 'Dear Rita Dominic: I am still alive and won't
die for a looong time. My opinion of your role in Finding
Mercy still persists. Congrats.'

Charles Novia released his list on Thursday, December 5
with Mercy Johnson topping the chart and Tamara
Eteimo coming second. Damilola Adegbite and Yvonne
Okoro were placed in the third and fourth position
respectively.

Novia, a popular producer, has become quite controversial
in recent times, for his views on Nollywood and other areas
of the entertainment industry.
