It is of no doubt that Nollywood actresses, Omotola Jolade and Genevieve Nnaji are the biggest in their category. The two actresses, though were said to be having problems with each other, yet there are a couple of movies they had together.

Both of them have almost everything in common; from their ages, to achievements, to beauty, unyielding musical careers, die-hard fans, national and international recognitions, fashion, amongst a lot of other competitive paradigms; it seems, no matter how much these two try, one does not totally successfully out do the other.

Even though Genevieve Nnaji started her career before Omotola Jalade as a child actress in 1987, as against the latter who started in 1995, it is always very difficult to place one as a better option than the other; as over the years, the two actresses have competed on every level, becoming supposed enemies, even if the two have debunked such rumours.

In commemoration of the healthy competition that exists between both ladies, BroadwayAfrica brings to you the best moments of these two actresses in 2015, leaving you to be the judge of who competed better between the two in the just concluded amazing year in the entertainment industry.

Career So Far….

Though Genevieve kicked off her career before Omotola, but till 2015, she has only featured in 126 movies, while Omotola has featured in 300.

Family….

Omotola got married to her husband, Capt. Matthew Ekeinde in 1996, and both are happily married with four children; Princess, Meraiah, Michael and M.J. Omotola is still very much happily married, and has encouraged her children to delve into making names for themselves in the showbiz business, especially Meraiah, who looks so much like her. Not too long ago, the actress shared a picture of her family happily having a meal.

On the other hand, Genevieve to our knowledge has never been married, but has a beautiful daughter, Chimebuka Nnaji,who looks so much like her, and has been asserted by her mother not to be a part of showbiz. There have been speculations, however, that the pictures that have gone viral is not the real Genevieve’s daughter. Recently in an interview with Encomium Magazine, the actress revealed that she still has the intention of getting married.

Dangote Hails Tinubu on Impact of Crude for Naira Swap Deal

 

 

…As Dangote Refinery partners MRS to sell PMS at N935 per litre nationwide at its retail outlets

 

 

Sahara Weekly Unveils That The Foremost entrepreneur and President of the Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the positive impact of the naira for crude swap deal on the Nigerian economy, which has led to reduction in prices of petroleum products in the country.

 

Dangote Hails Tinubu on Impact of Crude for Naira Swap Deal

 

To provide succour to Nigerians, Dangote recently reduced the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N970 to N899.50 at its Refinery loading gantry and provided generous credit terms to marketers.

 

 

“To ensure that this price reduction gets to the end consumer, we have signed a partnership with MRS to sell petrol from its retail outlets nationwide at N935 per litre” he added. This price has already commenced in Lagos, and it will be offered nationwide from Monday.

 

 

In his statement, he called on other oil marketers such as the NNPC Retail and all other marketers, “to work with us to ensure that Nigerians enjoy high-quality petrol at discounted prices.”

 

 

According to him, “The Dangote Refinery is for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians. We will therefore continue to work with various value chain players to deliver high quality petrol at cheaper prices. Our aim is for all Nigerians to have ready access to high quality petroleum products that are good for their vehicles, good for their health, and good for their pockets.

 

 

Recall that in September, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) under the leadership of Mr. President approved the sale of crude to local refineries in Naira and corresponding purchase of petroleum products in Naira. The move, which commenced on October 1, led to reduced pressure on the dollar and ensured the stability of the local currency.

 

 

Dangote thanked Nigerians for their unwavering support and the government for creating an enabling environment for the domestic refining industry.

NNPC Debunks Shutdown Rumors, Confirms Port Harcourt Refinery Fully Operational

 

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has dismissed reports circulating in certain media outlets claiming that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery, which was re-streamed two months ago, has been shut down.

In a statement released by Olufemi O. Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd, the company clarified that the refinery is fully operational. The statement noted that the facility’s operational status was recently verified by former Group Managing Directors of NNPC during a site inspection.

“Preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing,” the statement confirmed, emphasizing that allegations of the refinery’s shutdown are baseless and intended to create panic or artificial scarcity in the fuel market.

NNPC Ltd urged members of the public to disregard such misleading reports, labeling them as the work of those seeking to exploit Nigerians.

The Old Port Harcourt Refinery has been in operation since its re-streaming, and the company remains committed to ensuring stability in the supply of petroleum products across the country.
