Actress Rita Dominic has penned an emotional note on her X handle, reminiscing about her journey in Nollywood alongside veteran actress Genevieve Nnaji.
With 27 and 26 years in the industry respectively, both actresses have cemented their status as trailblazers in Nigerian cinema.
In her post, Dominic expressed gratitude and pride over the industry’s progress, recalling how she and Nnaji began as “two passionate young girls with a dream,” never imagining the remarkable path their careers would take.
She emphasised the significance of their solidarity, noting that despite challenges, they’ve come a long way and didn’t walk alone.
“When we started in Nollywood all those years ago, we were just passionate girls with a dream,” Dominic said in the post on Thursday.
“We had no idea the incredible journey ahead or how our industry would grow to touch the entire world.
“To look around today and see how far we’ve come… It fills my heart with pride. No matter what, we did not walk alone”, she wrote.
Their bond extends beyond their on-screen collaborations, including films like “Goodbye New York” and “Girls Cot”.
The actresses’ enduring friendship was also showcased at Rita’s 50th birthday celebration in London, where Genevieve made a notable appearance.
