Genevieve Nnaji and Ishaya Bako
Ghana Celebrities is reporting that the 38-year old
actress is set to marry 29-year old “Alhaji” Ishaya
Bako, the director of her latest movie Road to
Yesterday before the end of 2016.
The website claims that the duo became friends after
the actress moved to Abuja from Lagos about two
years ago.

However, a spokesperson of Bako, who is also known
for his Africa Movie Academy Awards movie, Braids
on a Bald Head, and the 2012 documentary Fueling
Poverty, on Tuesday denied the report. The source
exclusively told Naij.com that the story is false.
“We have been laughing since we read it,” Bako’s
spokesperson said. “But what can you do? It is not
true.”
On Saturday, December 12, the former finance
minister Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s son, Uzodinma
Iweala, proposed to Genevieve on the red carpet for
the premier of his movie Beasts of no Nation, but it
was all in jest.

She was previously linked to singer Dbanj, whom she
had reportedly dated on and off since appearing in
the video of his song Fall in Love.
