I’ll Rather Lose Doing The Right Thing Than Win Doing The Wrong Thing – Kenneth Okonkwo

Ex Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo has come out to announce that he is suspending his affiliation with the Julius Abure-led National Working Committee of the Labour Party (LP).

He recently had his say via his social media accounts, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he is suspending his relationship in all ramifications with the purported Abure led National Working Committee of Labour Party, and his focus remains on a new Nigeria.

Kenneth added that he prefers to lose doing the right thing than win doing the wrong thing.

His words, “I am suspending my relationship in all ramifications with the purported Abure led National Working Committee of Labour Party.

For me, it’s either a new Nigeria or nothing. I prefer to lose doing the right thing to winning doing the wrong thing. Nothing can wash out the criminality, corruption, and incompetence with which the purported National Convention was purportedly organised by Abure.

I did not leave the comfort of a ruling party APC because I believe that they are incompetent and dishonest only to come and join another incompetent and corrupt association, which is the current Abure led National Working Committee of Labour Party.”

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.
