Arrest Girlfriends Who Collect Money From Criminals Without Knowing The Source – Okon Lagos

Popular comic actor, Okon Lagos and movie maker, Frank Ufomadu have clashed on Instagram over comments on the arrest of suspected kidnap kingpin, John Ewa.

It all began when Okon agreed with singer, Paul Okoye that most girls fail to ask about the source of livelihood of their boyfriends and just spend the money he gives to them.

According to Okon, women who spend the monies of criminals are enablers and accomplices and should be given equal treatment as the criminals.

Reacting, Frank said entertainers who organize shows and set their table tickets for as high as N5 million also fail to inquire what those who pay for these tables do for a living to be able to spend such an amount just to watch a show.

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
