Nollywood veteran Genevieve Nnaji made a rare appearance on social media, sharing a photo on X (formerly Twitter) that immediately sparked reactions from fans and critics alike. 

The celebrated actress, known for her private lifestyle and minimal online presence, found herself at the center of mixed responses. 

While some users expressed delight at her post, others took the opportunity to throw unsolicited comments her way.

In a manner that can only be described as elegant and composed, Nnaji responded to a few trolls with poise, delivering subtle but sharp clapbacks that left social media buzzing.

The social media exchange

It all began when user @Nonsohenry jokingly questioned the actress’s rare social media activity, saying, “This one you remembered us today, are we safe?” To which Nnaji responded simply, “Haba .”

However, the conversation took a different turn when user @EmiTerfa made an age-related remark: “You really cannot cheat nature. My fine wine is finally growing old.”

Mummy u Don old o

Nnaji’s response was both philosophical and cheeky: “It gets worse, bro. I’ll get so old I’ll die. if I’m lucky.” 

Another user, @Callendrone, took the age discussion further, writing, “Mummy, u don old o.” Nnaji countered with a cool, unexpected, but sarcastic response, saying, “Daddy, I don’t wish it on you.”

Social media is no stranger to unsolicited opinions, and public figures often bear the brunt of it. However, Genevieve Nnaji’s responses were a masterclass in handling online criticism; neither aggressive nor defensive, but subtly humorous and undeniably classy.

Not all interactions were negative, though. But, her approach not only shut down unnecessary negativity but also reminded many of why she remains one of Nollywood’s most revered figures.

Popular Nigerian activist and actor, Mr Macaroni, has criticised Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over his response to the recent hardship faced by Lagosians following the closure of the Independence Bridge.

Taking to X, the comedian and activist argued that addressing the struggles of citizensis not a favour but a duty that comes with the office.

The Governor is not doing anyone a favour by addressing the hardship Lagosians are facing. It is his responsibility!!! Most people have been conditioned to accept the barest minimum from politicians, and that is why there is zero accountability to the people.

He further highlighted the privileges government officials enjoy at the expense of taxpayers, stressing that they should be fully committed to serving the people. Sir @jidesanwoolu, the people pay for your nice convoy, your security, your accommodation and every other luxury your office affords you.

All of these and many more make things very easy and enjoyable for you such that you never have to deal with the pain and hardship the people suffer. The least you can do is to serve them with utmost respect and total commitment! They don’t deserve anything less!!!

The closure of the Independence Bridge on April 2, 2025, had triggered massive gridlock in the state, leaving many commuters stranded for hours. Amid widespread complaints, Governor Sanwo-Olu later addressed the public, prompting further discussions on the government’s handling of infrastructure and public services. The bridge was then opened by the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, the next day.
