Genevieve Nnaji’s directorial debut, Lionheart, is destined to be remembered as the film which changed the face of Nollywood. Beyond anything else, it has also made history as the first Nigerian movie to be acquired by NETFLIX.
The movie begins with Genevieve (Adaeze) trying to persuade a mob to vacate her father’s transport company. As we all know, running a company can be challenging, especially if you are a female in a male-dominated industry. And so, looking to prove her worth, Adaeze steps up to the challenge when her father, Chief Ernest Obiagu is forced to take a step back due to health issues.
Her father appoints his crude and eccentric brother, Godswill, instead, to run the company with her. She works with her crude and eccentric uncle to save the family business in dire financial straits, resulting in crazy and often
hilarious results. Complications arise when they discover that the family business is in dire financial straits and both Adaeze and Godswill try to save the company in their own way to crazy and often hilarious results.The movie captures the challenges of a female in a male-dominated industry. It is also a far departure from new Nollywood movies that tend to situate their plot in Lagos. Lionheart was shot in Enugu and Kano States.
However, Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has come under fire for refusing to congratulate Genevieve Nnaji’s recent Lionheart breakthrough and has been showing off her own achievements. The actress took to the social media on Tuesday to tell her over 3.2million followers that she made history last year too.

Lol Their is no clash between these two remember they are both grown women they are not the likes of wizkid and davido..... remember both ladies did a movie called "Eje" if I get the name right...they don't have a clash they have different parts as grown ups and business women. Moreover what does having so many likes on I.G got to do with the growth of nollywood
