Nigerians Are Used To Accepting The Barest Minimum From Politicians – Mr Macaroni

Nollywood actor, Mr Macaroni has come out to criticize Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu over his response to the recent hardship faced by Lagosians following the closure of the Independence Bridge.

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

According to him, the Governor is not doing anyone a favour by addressing the hardship Lagosians are facing, because that is clearly his main responsibility.

Mr Macaroni added that Nigerians have been conditioned to accept the barest minimum from politicians, and that leads to zero accountability.

His words, “The Governor is not doing anyone a favour by addressing the hardship Lagosians are facing. It is his responsibility!!! Most people have been conditioned to accept the barest minimum from politicians, and that is why there is zero accountability to the people.”

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.
