And when it finally came, the marriage proposal was made in the open, On the red carpet of the premiere of Beasts of No Nation that was held on Saturday, December 12 at Silverbird Cinema, Lagos, Uzodinma Iweala, the son of former minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, proposed to Nollywood star Genevieve Nnaji.

Uzodinma who is the author of the book from which the movie Beasts of No Nation was adapted, made a mock proposal to Genevieve in the full glare of all in the manliest way while cameras were clicking away.

Genevieve couldn’t but gush away while he knelt down in front of her.

Uzodinma later shared the picture on Instagram

He captioned it: “She didn’t say yes, but she didn’t say no either. Thank you to @genevievennaji for supporting #beastsofnonation. Your presence means so much.”
