for pursuing new opportunities, despite Lionheart's popularity. Genevieve Nnaji has
Fubara hired Cultists and Gunmen to sh00t Local Government Chairmen- Ex- Ikwere LGA Chairman Alleged
spoken about her experience pursuing partnerships in Hollywood following the success of her 2018 film LionHeart, which
was purchased by Netflix for an estimated $3.8 million. The actress, who spoke on a panel at the 2024 Afro-Caribbean Trade and Investment Forum/Afreximbank Annual
Meetings and has benefited from Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX), an Afreximbank
programme that provides support, including financial support, for trade and investment in Africa's creative sector, talked about how
she realised she was a commodity in Hollywood
For the first time, I knew I was a commodity. I assumed that, given what I had
accomplished with Lionheart and everything else, I would be granted the
opportunity to achieve even more. Getting there and having the kind of support that
CANEX is surely bringing on board, but I expected to find it in Hollywood. "That was not quite the case," she explained.
