Genevieve Nnaji (Genevieve Nnaji) has spoken against a viral tweet. The post told Igbo men to seek wives in East Africa. It warned them against marrying women from their own group.
The tweet claimed some Igbo wives might unfairly accuse husbands of harming children. It urged them to pick women from Rwanda and other countries instead. Nnaji replied on X after a similar viral post on marriage drew wide comments.
The first tweet came from a user who praised East African women. He said they were easier to live with than Igbo women at home. He also told men that Rwandan women filled social media and wanted husbands.
Nnaji calls message harmful to women
Reacting, Nnaji said the advice let men dodge blame for harmful acts. She wrote that, instead of taking blame, some men looked for new targets. “Go for the unsuspecting and carry on with evil,” she warned.
Another user later told Nnaji that the first tweet hit only false accusers. He felt she should have joined the call to hold such women to blame. He asked why she ignored the pain of men who faced fake claims.
In a second reply, Nnaji said people should avoid sweeping words about groups. She wrote that women also struggle to tell safe men from dangerous ones. “Not all women,” she added, stressing that men should use fair words.
Debate on safety and blame grows online
The exchange sparked wider talk on X about safety, blame, and marriage. Many users shared recent Nollywood reactions to gender posts as they weighed both sides. Some backed the call for care around false claims, while others supported Nnaji.
The Nollywood star has long spoken about respect and fairness in relationships. Her latest comments ask men to seek trust and honest talk, not shortcuts. She also urged online users to raise points without insulting any whole group.
Commenters from East Africa also joined, saying they disliked being used as props. They wrote that respect for Rwandan and Kenyan women meant rejecting blame games.
Others told men to focus on proper checks when harm claims appear at home. They asked families to listen, gather clear facts, and follow lawful steps.
Some users also urged elders and faith leaders to guide tense talks. They said calm voices could help settle fights between men and women.
