Veteran Nigerian movie actress Genevieve Nnaji is currently under fire on the social media platform X for urging a netizen to 'take accountability' for false rape allegations.
Her tweet sparked predominantly negative reactions from netizens on the microblogging site X, due to the perceived insensitivity of her reply.
Last weekend, a netizen with the username @NnamaOge shared a tweet on X where she disclosed that she is intending to walk down the aisle with a Nigerian man who is from Anambra, a state in the Eastern part of Nigeria.
The lady claimed that she is Rwandan; however, since she is in a relationship with a Nigerian person, she qualifies to identify as an 'Igbo'. The tweet saw positive reactions from netizens who approved of her statement.
One of the commentators on X, @Onyeka_chii, also applauded her and urged other Igbo men to follow suit and desist from entering a relationship with Igbo women to avoid false rape allegations. Further, he admonished men to instead approach women from Easy Africa and build a relationship with them.
Read his statement, "This is what I'm talking about!
Dear Igbo men, instead of marrying an Igbo woman who'll falsely accuse you of r4ping your daughter, better look outside for a wife
Go to East Africa, especially Rwanda, and pick a damsel. They're all over social media, and you can link up with them."
Reacting to Onyeka's post on X, the veteran movie actress, Genevieve Nnaji, scolded the netizen, telling him to check himself and take responsibility, instead of continuing with 'your evil'.
Read what she said, "In other words, instead of checking yourself and taking accountability, go for the unsuspecting and carry on with your evil. Got it'sic'"
The veteran' actress remark elicited predominantly negative reactions, coercing many netizens to state that the movie actress should have maintained her 'mysterious' personality instead of addressing sensitive topics such as false rape accusations and other sexual allegations.
This recent development is coming several days after a 29-year-old Nigerian lady accused her husband of sexually assaulting their daughters. It was later gathered to be false allegations.
