Hotels Should Stop Lying That They’ll Provide Maximum Security To Customers – Okon

Nollywood actor, Okon Lagos has come out to blast hotels that paste “Cars Parked at Owners’ Risk” signage in their premises.

He recently had his say on his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he just doesn’t understand the decision to do that since these establishments always promise to provide maximum security to their customers.

Okon added that this is wrong because customers are not only paying for shelter when they come to them.

His words, ”Cars Parked At Owners’ Risk” in a Hotel where u pay for hospitality services? As if you are paying ONLY for shelter and no other services or value… Na wa o!”

What do you think?

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.
