Comedian Okey Bakassi has just circulated this on Blackberry....Please Read.
''The Best of Nollywood Awards in Port Harcourt on Thursday, 16-10-14 was a success. Except a few technical problems, the event was fun. It was good to meet show biz and media friends.
I got the Award for Best Movie Actor(Igbo). Thanks to the organizers of B.O.N Awards.
I appreciate the level of support the Rivers State Government gave the Organizers and thanks to Gov Chibuike Amaechi for staying up with Nollywood till about 2.00am when the event ended.
What is shocking to me is reading in the blog the next day; That Gov Amaechi insulted Nollywood. A story that is false and completely taken out of context.
It's either the author of the mischievous story, didn't attend the event or went with a different agenda.
I hate when people vilify genuine supporters of Nollywood just to score cheap political goals.
Gov Amaechi's speech which was applauded by all present, Highlighted how Nollywood evolved from the determined efforts of practitioners. He stated how Nollywood has created jobs for thousands of Nigerians seeking employment. He explained how most actors were products of necessity and survival....how people where able to reinvent themselves after graduating without jobs. He even used his personal experience to buttress his points and encouraged actors to become agents for Change.
I love the freedom of expression that social media has provided but people must be responsible enough not to abuse it.
I do not know if the wicked publication was targeted at the organizers of the Awards, Actors or Gov Amaechi but I know for sure that it is a misrepresentation of facts and it's mischievous.
God help Nollywood. @Okeybakassy

If the blogger likes, let him/her twist Governor Amaechi's words and say BS but nobody should insult my Mummy J. I saw someone's comment yesterday saying Mummy Joke is/was the governor's mistress. Jesus! How could someone even think of a thing like that? I catch afraid for some people.

DeleteWhoever is d architect of d rumor is to blame.
ReplyDeleteMUMU.
ReplyDeletebut I didn't see it as an insult o!
ReplyDeleteAmaechi said a lot of actors/actress ventured into acting cos they couldn't get jobs.
that a lot of them studied coursed unrelated to creative arts and eventually settled for the screens to earn a living.
how is that an insult? if it is, then the insult is to the Nigerian Government for LACK OF EMPLOYMENT and NOT Nollywooders.
Bia Okey, Bloggers give us the gist, we make our conclusions. Don't bite their heads. they need it to snoop and bring juicy gist to us.
pele!

ReplyDeleteSharrap

ReplyDeleteOk d battels began. ..
ReplyDeleteLol@Onise! #UcheFaceYourWork.ooo#
ReplyDeleteI said it,i just knew that his speech was blown out of proportion by detractors. If he said people are in Nollywood out of frustration,it means that the government is not doing enough in the area of employment such that people are forced to practice out of their discipline. Nigerians sha,we can draw conclusion without analysis. Lemme borrow a BV's word,ORIEGWU.

One reason why i may never go into politics can be traced to how people will be so willing to quote me negatively at any given opportunity. I have been a victim of being misquoted overtime. I have made and acquired more enemies than friends as a result of lies that received negative baptism of fire to become facts.
ReplyDeleteShould I say, “I was there when Governor Ameachi insulted Nollywood at the BON Awards in Port Harcourt? No! I cannot be a party to such political besmirching and advance social media mechanism channelled through sensational bias.
The other time it was “how come Mr President would have all the time in the world to watch Omoni Oboli’s ‘Being Mrs Elliot’ in Aso Rock?” Now some of us are already misquoting a man who took his time to invite BON Awards to Rivers State for the purpose of celebrating Nollywood.
With news like these flying around, I wonder when next the president or governors will be inviting Nollywood anytime soon for another event.
Finally, I think BON Awards should release the video of Governor Amaechi’s speech for the world to see how some of us can never be agent of change in a society that endorses us as its mirror.

The witches and wizards in Linda's Village are still after her I guess . They are not happy that she recovered from the AYE DEE saga so they are doing everything possible so that she ll keeping goofing and committing blunders until she eventually fall and won't rise again..
