The closeness between the two actresses radiates the sisterhood that has defined Nollywood\u2019s golden era.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Rita\u2019s caption was a moving reflection on how far the industry has come. She revealed that when she and her peers first started out, all they had were big dreams and raw passion for acting. There was no glamour, no luxury, just the determination to tell stories. She wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWhen we started in Nollywood all those years ago, we were just passionate girls with a dream. 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&#8217;ve come\u2026.. It fills my heart with pride. No matter what, we did not walk alone\u2026 \u2764\ufe0f \ud83e\udd17.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Her post sparked admiration from fans and colleagues alike, who hailed Rita and Genevieve as two of the women who paved the way for Nollywood\u2019s growth into a global industry. Many praised their humility, longevity, and the enduring friendship that has stood strong despite the pressures of fame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Over the years, both actresses have carved iconic legacies. Rita as a multiple award-winning actress and producer, and Genevieve as an international star whose influence continues to transcend borders.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_216695\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-216695\" style=\"width: 1242px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-216695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/IMG_1410.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1242\" height=\"1446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/IMG_1410.jpeg 1242w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/IMG_1410-258x300.jpeg 258w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/IMG_1410-880x1024.jpeg 880w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/IMG_1410-768x894.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1242px) 100vw, 1242px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-216695\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rita Dominic &amp; Genevieve Nnaji<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Similarly, veteran actress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2025\/08\/22\/todays-nollywood-is-about-makeup-and-bbls-not-passion-bimbo-akintola\/\">Bimbo Akintola has opened up about the evolution of Nollywood, contrasting the raw hunger and passion that once defined the industry with the glamour-driven focus of today.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Speaking in a recent chat on Ayo Adesanya TV, Akintola recalled the early years of her career, when actors gave their all for the love of storytelling rather than financial gain or fame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The actress explained that the Nollywood of today tells a different story. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2025\/08\/22\/todays-nollywood-is-about-makeup-and-bbls-not-passion-bimbo-akintola\/\">According to her, many new-generation actors are more preoccupied with physical appearance involving makeup, BBLs and more, than the art itself.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran actress Rita Dominic has taken her fans down memory lane with a touching Instagram post that celebrated her early years in Nollywood and the unbreakable bond she shares with her colleagues.
