Nollywood Cannot Be An Industry That Promoted Gay And Lesbianism – Kanayo O. Kanayo

Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo has come out to say that the Nigerian movie industry should not be a dumping ground for ladies who undergo Brazilian Butt Enlargement BBL and prostitution.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it will be a shame if the Nigerian film industry becomes a ground where people’s dollars are stolen in hotels, or where gay and lesbianism is promoted.

Kanayo added that Nollywood should always stand for talent and creativity, instead of the vanities people now attach to it.

His words, “Nollywood should not be a ground for bum bum enlargement. Nollywood should not be a ground for people doing runs. Nollywood should not be a ground where people’s dollars are stolen in hotels and they generalize all his Nollywood girls. It is not a ground for gay, Lesbianism. It is a ground for creativity. It is not a ground for learning how to act. Many people come to Nollywood to learn how to act. You are supposed to come into the industry to better and horn your talent.”

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.
