Probably she had succeeded at 'keeping it a secret' and had everyone 'fooled' that she's been a good girl, Genny as fondly called by her fans was allegedly caught smoking by a top Nollywood director and producer, Charles Novia. In an excerpt from his memoirs titled
"Nollywood Till November", Charles shares his shocking experience when he unexpectedly
bumped into the actress while she was busy puffing the smoke from her cigarette into the air.
Charles Novia reveals that it's a big shock to him.
Hear him, "…I remember on the third day of
recording, one night while shooting at a clinic
in Victoria Garden City Extension, I came out
for a bit of fresh air while the technical people
were setting up for the next scene. I saw
Genevieve in a dark corner of the building,
smoking a cigarette. 'Whoops! You caught me', she said, laughing. 'You smoke?' I asked, a bit surprised. 'Now and then. It relaxes me ' she said. 'Do you smoke?' 'Never have. Never will. But I don't have any problems with people who smoke though. But health wise, I hope you stop soon.' I replied. 'I am trying to. Sit with me a bit, lets talk about this scene.' I sat with her and I explained some few things to her about the scene. We also talked about a bit of her stardom and how she was coping with it. She was in a chatty mood and it was a
revealing conversation." This will definitely shock a lot of Genevieve's fans too, the reason is that, no one ever thought she smokes but that's actually not a big deal, a lot of her colleagues do and they don't see anything wrong in it, after all, everybody does it.
'Smokers are liable to die young,' I hope this surgeon advice would make any meaning to them.
