Obi Emelonye apologises to Genevieve and Omotola

I woke up over
the weekend
to a barrage of online reports of irreverent and
disrespectful headlines about Genevieve and
Omotola that were attributed to me.
Without delving into too much details, my private
conversations in my house with a friend; talking
about what Tom Cruise did when he stopped
accepting lousy film projects from the big
hollywood studios; has been misquoted,
misconstrued, taken out of context and blown out
of proportions.
I want to state firstly that I hold these two titans of
our industry in complete veneration. (Even the
misquotes could not hide that fact). I am also
grateful for their unique contributions to the great
success of my collaborative projects with them.
Secondly, let it be known that in the time I have
known Genevieve and Omotola and in all the
dealings that I have had with them, I have never for
once said a misplaced word about them, privately
or publicly. I have neither betrayed the confidence
of their friendship nor tried to gain cheap PR fodder
from confidential informationI I may hold.
The initiator of this cruel stunt has coined stupid
headlines to attract attention to themselves. I
guess they have succeeded. However, I am not
going to give them further relevance by naming
them to the world. So I have decided take full
responsibility for my naivete in being so indiscreet;
something I am not known for.
I have already personally apologised to Omotola
and Genevieve for my part in this silliness. It is with
their permission and without intending to stoke the
fire of this publicity stunt, that I am writing to
clarify the situation and also to personally and
publicly apologise to the millions of fans and
supporters loyal to Genevieve and Omotola who
have been scandalised by this perversion.
I have had a rewarding professional relationship
with these two icons of our time; based on mutual
respect and it is my wish to preserve that. I
sincerely hope that this wholehearted and public
show of contrition would be enough for Omotola
and Genevieve (and their fans) to rise above their
legitimate anger about this and forgive a friend
who values them more than words can say.
We learn everyday. Mia culpa! Mia maxima culpa!
God bless you all.
