Adesua Etomi is the next Genevieve Nnaji, Nigerians react to her latest role in ‘sugar rush’
Following the release of Sugar Rush, which saw Adesua Etomi playing the lead role, her performance in the movie has garnered a lot of reactions from Nigerians.
However, it took a new turn during the weekend as Nigerians took to Twitter to compare Adesua Etomi to Nigeria’s veteran actress, Genevieve Nnaji, who recently became a member of the Oscar Academy.
While many stated that Adesua and Genevieve were equally good, others considered it an insult to compare Adesua to Genevieve.

For the fact that Genevieve doesn’t act some certain roles now, doesn’t mean she didn’t murder those roles back in the days… I mean!! Put some respect on that name!?

I think Adesua is learning from Genevieve.
So, I will be surprised if she answers to your guys’ opinions here.

Putting Adesua in the same category with Genevieve is utmost disrespect.
Genevieve is great.
Adesua is good. https://t.co/NazLkFKvEH— POJE THEE STALLION? (@Iam_Poje) July 5, 2020
