Genevieve Nnaji’s directorial debut Lionheart was a huge inflection point in her career, having its premiere at the 2018 Toronto Film Festival and with Netflix nabbing the rights for world wide distribution. Lionheart was a loving, warm, love letter to Southeast Nigeria with beautiful performances from Pete Edochie, Onyeka Onwenu, and Nkem Owoh. Since then, I have been wondering what Nnaji’s next movie direction would go. That said, she posted new pictures of herself on Twitter today, looking chic and inexplicably ageless.

If you look to your left, though, you would see a slim stack of scripts in that recognizable power-blue colour. She could have cropped it out before posting the pictures on social media, right? But she left, as if to tease us. Of course, this will be a talking point for a while and frankly, I can’t wait to see what Nnaji is working on.
