When asked to name her favourite woman-directed film and why? Nnaji said; Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman.”

Nnaji said,

“I’m a proud feminist who embraces her femininity. I feel sometimes women are made to feel self-conscious and ashamed of their womanhood.

“Perhaps like “Wonder Woman,” we may wake up one day to discover that it is our superpower, and then we would be unstoppable.

“History has shown that in almost every situation where a group of people or a demographic is being oppressed, it’s usually because the oppressors are threatened by the potential of the oppressed to be great.

“I’m happy women all over the world are discovering their superpower and turning “why me?” into “not me.”

Recall that WuzupNaija had reported that an American top media service provider, Netflix, has bought worldwide rights to Genevieve Nnaji’s comedy movie “Lionheart.”
