Evil Should Always Be Condemned By All In Nigeria – Mr Macaroni

Nigerian activist and Nollywood actor, Mr Macaroni has come out to react to the ongoing crisis in Enugu State.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, the government’s silence in the face of violence is extremely worrying, and it is important for the leaders to swing into action to protect its people.

Mr Macaroni added that evil should always be condemned by all in Nigeria for us to progress as a nation.

His words, “Evil like this should be condemned by all!! Not only that, the Government must also swing into action and show that there is zero tolerance for this sort of barbarism!!! When the Government is quiet, the people feel the need to protect their lives and properties by themselves which only escalates issues and leads to the loss of other innocent lives.

Injustice is injustice! It doesn’t matter where it happens. North, East, South or West, we must always speak against it. No person, group or tribe is superior to another!!! All rights must be respected!!!!

Some of us have always stood up against evil! Irrespective of the tribe, religion or social status of those involved. We Dey! The hypocrisy is with those of you that only want to speak up when it directly affects you. Una no get level! When water finally pass garri, make una dey remember say some of us have been standing up against evil on all levels since we started fighting for a better society. If everyone took responsibility from the beginning, we wouldn’t be here today. Peace to all.”

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.
