Omotola Or Genevieve: Who Had A Better 2015?
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.
Deals….
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde alongside her daughter, Meraiah, became Knorr Ambassadors in a multi million naira deal. Before the end of the year, she also landed another multi million naira ambassadorial deal with Scanfrosts.
Although Genevieve was topping the lists of highest paid actors for deals in 2014, with her 100 million naira Etisalat deal, but we did not hear of the actress being involved in any deal in 2015.
Movies in 2015….
Omotola did not produce any movie nor star in any in 2015. However, Genevieve made a big comeback after two years with “Road to Yesterday”, which she produced and acted in as the lead actress, Victoria.
Followers….
Omotola made the record of the first Nigerian celebrity to surpass the 1 million likes on a Facebook page in 2013, and 2 Million likes in 2015, while Genevieve is still on 1.5 million likes. However on their respective Instagram pages, @realomos*xy has 461,000 followers, while @genevievennaji has 1 million followers. On Twitter, @Realomos*xy has 741,000 followers, while @GenevieveNnaji1 has 958,000 followers.
Events….
In 2015, Omotola Jalade celebrated her 20th anniversary in the entertainment industry in glam.
While Genevieve celebrated her parents’ 46th wedding anniversary and her father’s 80th birthday in style.
Omotola Jalade was among the Nigerian celebrities invited to the premiere of “Spectre” in Nigeria.
On the other hand, Genevieve was present at the premiere of “Beasts of no Nation’ in Lagos, and was captured in several alliances with British A-list act and ladies’ man, Idris Elba; with her fans suggesting that both would be good together as man and wife.
Highest grossing….
In 2015, Omotola was listed among the highest grossing movie stars one has never heard of alongside Indian delectable and number two richest actor in the world, Shah Rukh Khan. It has been acclaimed that Genevieve Nnaji is the highest paid actress in Nollywood.
Photo Shoots….
These two actresses released quite a number of pictures in 2015 and they got everyone at OMG! However we would be comparing just some of the pictures that really rocked the internet.
In this Omotola’s photo shoots which she released in August 2015, with her make up done by Bimpe Onakoya, we kept wondering if we have really seen all the beauty there is to this woman, or there is more that is yet to be unveilled.
Genevieve Nnaji released these pictures taken by TY Bello, with her make up done by the same Bimpe Onakoya for ThisDay Style Magazine in December, and we are like…speechless….
These are some of the things that got our attention about our screen divas, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Genevieve Nnaji in 2015. Which of them would you consider as the best rocker of 2015, based on their achievements, or most possibly in your own other, sincere observations???

GTBank Launches Quick Airtime Loan at 2.95%
Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd (GTBank), the flagship banking franchise of GTCO Plc, Africa’s leading financial services group, today announced the launch of Quick Airtime Loan, an innovative digital solution that gives customers instant access to airtime when they run out of call credit and have limited funds in their bank accounts, ensuring customers can stay connected when it matters most.
In today’s always-on world, running out of airtime is more than a minor inconvenience. It can mean missed opportunities, disrupted plans, and lost connections, often at the very moment when funds are tight, and options are limited. Quick Airtime Loan was created to solve this problem, offering customers instant access to airtime on credit, directly from their bank. With Quick Airtime Loan, eligible GTBank customers can access from ₦100 and up to ₦10,000 by dialing *737*90#. Available across all major mobile networks in Nigeria, the service will soon expand to include data loans, further strengthening its proposition as a reliable on-demand platform.
For years, the airtime credit market has been dominated by Telcos, where charges for this service are at 15%. GTBank is now changing the narrative by offering a customer-centric, bank-led digital alternative priced at 2.95%. Built on transparency, convenience and affordability, Quick Airtime Loan has the potential to broaden access to airtime, deliver meaningful cost savings for millions of Nigerians, and redefine how financial services show up in everyday life, not just in banking moments.

BUA Group, AD Ports Group and MAIR Group Sign MoU to Explore Collaboration in Sugar Refining, Agro-Industrial Development, and Integrated Global Logistics Solutions
Abu Dhabi, UAE – Monday, 16th February 2026
BUA Group, AD Ports Group, and MAIR Group of Abu Dhabi today signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore collaboration in sugar refining, agro-industrial development, and integrated global logistics solutions. The partnership aims to create a world-class platform that strengthens regional food security, supports industrial diversification, and reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a hub for trade and manufacturing.
The proposed collaboration will leverage BUA Group’s industrial and logistics expertise, Khalifa Port’s world-class infrastructure, and AD Ports Group’s operational experience. The initiative aligns with the objectives of the UAE Food Security Strategy 2051, which seeks to position the UAE as a global leader in sustainable food production and resilient supply chains. It also aligns with Nigeria’s food production- and export-oriented agricultural transformation agenda, focused on scaling domestic capacity, strengthening value addition, improving post-harvest logistics, and unlocking new markets for Nigerian produce across the Middle East, Asia, and beyond.

Through structured aggregation, processing, storage, and maritime export channels, the partnership is designed to reduce supply chain inefficiencies, enhance traceability and quality standards, and also create a predictable trade corridor between West Africa and the Gulf.
BUA Group—recognised as one of Africa’s largest and most diversified conglomerates, with major investments across sugar refining, food production, flour milling, cement manufacturing, and infrastructure- brings extensive industrial expertise and large-scale operational capability to the venture. MAIR Group will provide strategic support in developing integrated logistics and agro-industrial solutions, creating a seamless platform for production, storage, and distribution.
Abdul Samad Rabiu, Founder and Chairman of BUA Group, said:
“This MoU marks an important milestone in BUA’s international expansion and reflects our long-term vision of building globally competitive industrial platforms. Together with AD Ports Group and MAIR Group, we aim to develop sustainable food production and logistics solutions that strengthen regional supply chains and support the UAE’s Food Security Strategy 2051.”
He further added that, “This partnership represents not just a commercial arrangement but a strategic food corridor anchored on shared economic ambition, resilient infrastructure, and disciplined execution, reinforcing long-term food security objectives for both nations.”
A representative of MAIR Group added:
“This collaboration underscores our commitment to advancing strategic industries in Abu Dhabi and building integrated solutions that reinforce the UAE’s position as a global hub for trade, food security, and industrial excellence.”
A spokesperson from AD Ports Group commented:
“Our partnership with BUA Group and MAIR Group highlights Khalifa Port’s role as a catalyst for high-impact industrial investments. This initiative will enhance regional food security, strengthen global trade connectivity, and support Abu Dhabi’s economic diversification goals.”
This MoU marks a historic collaboration that combines world-class infrastructure, industrial expertise, and strategic vision, setting the stage for a sustainable and resilient food and logistics ecosystem that will benefit the UAE, the region, and global markets alike.
