Buhari’s Government Was Bad, Tinubu’s Government Has Been Worse – Kenneth Okonkwo

Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo has come out to say that he believes that anarchy looms in Nigeria due to policies by the present government.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Nigeria is not Lagos where you sit down to decree things and expect it to work that way, so if the current situation is not arrested soon, anarchy will be the order of the day.

Kenneth added that it is a shame to see President Tinubu allow his children stand before Ministers in the order of protocols during his visit in Qatar.

His words, “Anarchy looms in Nigeria. Nigeria is not Lagos where you sit down and decree things and you expect it to work that way.

You don’t compare gold with carrots. You know what it means when you place your children in the order of protocol before Ministers of the Federal Ministers of Nigeria. You are allowing somebody to come to Aso Rock, sitting on the coat of arms to call our military men thieves.”

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.
