Rufai Oseni Should Stop Insulting People All In The Name Of Being A Journalist – Yul Edochie

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has come out to slam Arise TV anchor, Rufai Oseni over his clash with APC chieftain, Jesutega Onokpasa during a live interview on Monday, October 30.

He recently had his say via a clip on his Instagram page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Rufai was very disrespectful in his conduct towards Onokpasa during that interview, and it is funny because the Mr lawabiding citizen was recently caught in Lagos driving on a BRT lane.

Yul added that he needs to be quiet and stop insulting people on National TV all in the name of practising journalism.

His words, “Is this not the same Rufai Oseni that was caught driving on BRT lane which is wrong and when he was caught, instead of apologizing and admitting that he was wrong, he was shouting ‘do you know who I am? I am going to call the governor of Lagos state’.

Same Rufai Oseni that is insulting people on National TV all in the name of doing journalism. My friend shut up and sit down’. Shut up and sit down, I am talking to you. You don’t have no right, any moral justification to talk where men, people are talking. You are talking nonsense on national TV.

You are a very disrespectful person, You have no respect for the laws of this country. If somebody like you becomes President, you will wipe out Nigerians.”

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.
