Moses Eskor Is Stupid For Burying Late Make Up Artist At The River Bank – Aniebiet Antia

Some Akwa Ibom indigenes have come out to drag Nollywood filmmaker, Moses Eskor, over the handling of the late make up artist, Abigail Frederick’s dead body.

Recall that Abigail died alongside Junior Pope and three others when a boat conveying them from a movie location capsized on Anam River in Anambra State.

Reacting to the development that Abigail’s body was buried at the river bank because her family couldn’t afford to pay for the needed sacrifices and ambulance to convey her body home, a businessman, Aniebiet Antia revealed that Moses’ action is stupid, terrible and a big shame.

He added that the body of the young woman must be be exhumed immediately, and he would not mind paying for the sacrifices and cost of conveying her body to Akwa Ibom.

His words, “Moses Eskor, I actually knew you would bring down the post. What the hell. The most stupid post have ever read on Facebook. You could not make it public for us to contribute? Exhumed her tomorrow, myself and others will contribute and bring her back. And you accepted 200k bus hiring? Gosh. Money that would have perfected the ritual? Jesus. Even with the fact that we were asking you how much in your first post you refused to answer. This is Terrible.”

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.
