She was the top female artist that made 10 most influential African artistes, won an award at the prestigious Monaco Film Festival, and won the Best Actress at the ZAFAA Award, in London.
Recently, she was awarded the Nigeria National Honour of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR).
The adorable Nnaji, who is considered one of the hottest actresses in Nollywood, recently clinched the Best Actress in a TV Series/Game Show at the Nigerian Entertainment Award (NEA) held in New York.
A diva by all standards, Nnaji, star of Mahmood Ali Balogun’s big budget flick Tango With Me, clearly leads on the list of acting celebrities with the most award nominations, winnings and endorsement deals.
In a recent interview, the 31-year-old glamorous actress opens up on her winning ways and the national award alongside other international laurels.
“National award means recognition for what we are doing, and it feels so good to be recognized for doing what you love doing. It also means appreciation of the industry, not just Genevieve,” she said.
“It means gradually we are being recognized by the Federal Government, this has been long overdue, that Nollywood should also be accorded the well deserved recognition for what it’s doing for the country,” she added.
Quizzed on her winning formula the actress said, “God. To be honest, I don’t know my winning strategies, I would just say it’s been God. To tell you I have any winning strategies, I don’t even know where to start from because I can’t list this and that as steps I would take to win. If I had a winning strategy, I would sell it.
“The truth of the matter is that for anybody to want to be like Genevieve, she must understand what Genevieve is made of. I am one person that is very determined. I follow my heart, I do not follow friends and I don’t believe in impossibilities,” she concluded.
