“Girls Will Be Girls Countless Times” – Genevieve Nnaji Melts Hearts With Sweet Video Tribute to Rita Dominic on Her Golden Jubilee

Nigerians woke up to a beautiful wave of nostalgia and sisterhood as the legendary Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji took to social media to celebrate her longtime friend and colleague, Rita Dominic, on her 50th birthday. In what can only be described as a heartfelt, tender, and joy-filled moment, Genevieve shared a lovely throwback-style video that left fans gushing over the enduring bond between the two iconic stars. The post, captioned with the words, “Girls will be girls countless times. Happy Golden Jubilee birthday to my stunning sis @ritaUdominic,” quickly began trending as fans, celebrities, and admirers flooded the comment section with love, emojis, and emotional tributes.

The video, which captures Genevieve and Rita sharing a warm, sisterly moment, exudes the type of unfiltered joy and unbreakable friendship that rarely goes unnoticed in an industry often plagued with competition, rumors, and shifting alliances. But Genevieve and Rita’s relationship has always stood as a beacon of genuine love and respect between two of Nollywood’s most revered women. As Rita Dominic marks her 50th year—her golden jubilee—there couldn’t have been a more fitting gesture from a fellow powerhouse and sister in the craft.

Social media was immediately sent into a frenzy as fans reshared the clip across various platforms—Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Facebook—hailing it as one of the most touching birthday tributes ever posted by a celebrity. Some fans reminisced about the days when both actresses ruled the screens of African households, playing iconic roles that shaped Nollywood and inspired a generation of movie lovers and aspiring actors. “These women carried Nollywood on their backs,” one user posted. Another wrote, “Seeing Genevieve post this made me tear up. This friendship is everything!”

The timing of the tribute was just as powerful as the message. Rita Dominic turning 50 isn’t just a birthday—it’s a cultural moment. For many Nigerians, it is a reminder of how far the entertainment industry has come and of the women who carved their names into its foundation with elegance, skill, and resilience. Rita, known for her grace, versatility, and timeless beauty, has long been celebrated as one of the finest actresses to ever emerge from Africa. From her early days in Nollywood to her more recent critically acclaimed roles, her influence spans decades.

Genevieve Nnaji, equally iconic, has been largely quiet on social media and public appearances in recent years, so the video came as a double delight to fans who have missed her warm energy and charm. Her return—albeit brief—to social media through this intimate message rekindled admiration from fans who have often regarded her as Nollywood royalty. The phrase, “Girls will be girls countless times,” struck a particularly sweet chord with fans. It was playful yet profound, a subtle celebration of feminine friendship, freedom, and shared memories. For many, the phrase encapsulated the innocence and beauty of female bonds that survive time, distance, and even fame.

As the video circulated, it also attracted attention from fellow celebrities and industry veterans who joined Genevieve in celebrating Rita. Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Stephanie Linus, Joke Silva, and Kate Henshaw were among the stars who sent public wishes, each one echoing the sentiment that Rita Dominic’s life and career deserve every bit of recognition and celebration. Messages poured in not just from Nigeria but across Africa and the diaspora. Rita’s husband, Fidelis Anosike, also shared a loving message, describing her as his “queen, anchor, and life’s greatest blessing.”

The love didn’t stop there. Fans organized digital parties, edited montage videos of Rita’s best movie moments, and shared heartfelt stories of how her performances shaped their views on love, strength, and womanhood. From “The Meeting” to “La Femme Anjola,” Rita Dominic’s roles have often portrayed strong women with depth, flaws, and humanity, making her one of the few actresses whose every character is remembered long after the credits roll.

This viral video and its accompanying caption added yet another layer to the golden jubilee celebrations, reminding fans that beneath the glitz and glam of fame lies real friendship, loyalty, and support. In a world where celebrity friendships often make headlines for falling apart, Genevieve and Rita’s bond is a rare treasure. Their on-screen chemistry has always been impeccable, but it is their off-screen friendship that continues to inspire generations of women.

For younger actresses and fans alike, this moment was more than just a birthday shoutout—it was a blueprint. It was proof that women can rise together, stand tall together, and shine without dimming each other’s lights. It was also a much-needed reminder that aging is not something to be hidden or feared, but a crown to be worn with pride. Rita’s graceful transition into her fifties—still stylish, still talented, still relevant—is the kind of representation the industry sorely needs.

As night fell on Rita Dominic’s 50th birthday, the internet continued buzzing with love. The video kept making the rounds, accompanied by affectionate captions and the now-viral phrase: “Girls will be girls countless times.” It’s a phrase that might very well become the new anthem for sisterhood in Nollywood and beyond.

In the end, Genevieve Nnaji didn’t just wish her friend a happy birthday. She sparked a movement of nostalgia, admiration, and unity. And in doing so, she reminded the world that true friendship—especially the kind shared between women of substance—only gets stronger with time.
