Nollwood Star actress, Genevieve Nnaji is repaying her parents for their
support and training. She has just moved them from Egbeda, a Lagos
suburb to highbrow and upscale Lekki, Lagos.
Both parents are in late 60s and 70s respectively, according to sources
close to the family; they were full of excitement about the
move.Genevieve, according to the source had in recent time found it
challenging to check on her parents due to distance, besides, she felt
her dad who could hardly walk due to old age on his own would be closer
to her and receive adequate medical care. On few occasions that she has
visited, fans, especially boisterous school children had swarmed her.
Since the relocation, her mum, who has been a very active member and
President of the Catholic Women’s Association Wing of the St. Louis
Cathedral, Egbeda, has not been regular in the church though a family
source said she has completed her tenure as the President and a fresh
election brought in a new President. The mother now attends a church
close to their Lekki home. The family now lives together as one and that
really makes Genevieve happy.”
Until the movement the family has stayed the better part of their
lives in Egbeda. Checks revealed that Genevieve actually started her
career from 11, Olugbede Street, Egbeda, where she lived with her
parents in one of the apartments in a four block of flats. As soon as
she started having a rising profile, earned fatter cheques, and
endorsements, she moved them to another place also in Egbeda six years
ago. When her fame grew bigger, she relocated them to another spacious
and expansive apartment, situated in a block of nine flats in 7/9
Aderibigbe Sokunbi Street, Egbeda.
When we visited the last apartment, the Nnaji’s former neighbors
described the Nnajis as peaceful, loving and elderly neighbors. “We will
miss Genevieve’s parents for their love to all, they are very peaceful,
their children too. Though the husband is always indoors due to old
age, his wife cares a lot for him. We will miss the star presence that
Genevieve brings to the neighborhood each time she visits”.
