Believe me I don’t want to start a fight (I have won too many lately) but
a lot of reporters are clowns and this Onoshe Nwabuikwu chap is beginning to
make me laugh. It is only proper to be objective in your writing and leave out
your religious bias. Besides the fact that this article is heavily doused in
such primordial sentiments I can’t help but also perceive naivety in its unadulterated
form.
Understand this that whichever turn the industry is turning or evolving
into is a reflection of the demands of the people. So you double as a
court-jester when you portray nollywood lovers as innocent children been
debauched. Honestly your perception Nollywood lovers is insulting. However
I can understand your thinking, it is simply a program running in not just your
head but also in the heads of many Nigerians. “E dey happen but just do like say e no dey happen”. You are not
different from one of my acquaintances, his name is lucky. In his words “I dey carry woman but i no suppose carry
woman make him see me na insult to am, even my papa no say I dey carry woman
but when I see am I go just pretend”. Another said he would pretend not to
drink beer as a mark of respect to his father as if drinking water or non-alcoholic
drink is a sign of respect.
Whatever room027 is best described as here is not my concern. If I have
to talk about it then they have to pay. But one should not be naïve enough to
think that the whole nollywood industry will stick to a few genres. If it is
truly an industry then it must be representative of the good, the bad and the
ugly. You claim that our Nigerian actresses are more holy or less immoral than
their Ghanaian counter-parts, fool yourself. You think the Ghanaians thought us
how to introduce sexuality or nudity in our film, mock yourself. For your
information the same market that sells Nigerian films also sell foreign films. They
saw how we all rushed to watch Spartacus. They knew it was the sexual content
that attracted a lot of people. They also know that there is a part of us that
yearns for the see but don’t talk, so
they began to exploit it.
If you want to discourage pornography, start from the primary schools and
move up the ladder. Start the campaign that would fight against people storing
porn in their mobile handsets. That’s the easiest and closest porn hub in our
society. In my honest opinion you’re not a saint as you might want people to
think. If you encourage the government to regulate and tax pornography, then
you are inevitably saying that it should be legalized. You are saying it is a
practitioners right to express his or her artistic prowess in such works of
art. I don’t have to remind you that art is a work whose perception is
relative. Just like I hate horror films some people might like a mixture of
drama and sexuality and if it qualifies as your description for soft porn
please the relevant authorities should do their job.
Honestly I really don’t know much about you and I’m not really interested
in knowing you. I really don’t like haters and oversabi’s. It seems this media thing gets into your heads and you
feel you can make or mar people’s careers when you have not done so much with yours
anyway. A few weeks ago it was chioma akpotha, now its mercy johnson who
will it be next Beverly naya? White washed sepulchers that keep the outside clean
and the inside dirty, far to see
media people please remove the log in your eyes before you remove the speck in
another’s. Mercy has no reason to apologize for her curves. Face it, she is
endowed, possessing an asset a lot of women will love to have and many a Nigerian
man will spent their last cash to enjoy. Mercy and my naija actresses ignore
these people that offer public advice because nobody listens to them privately.
Onoshe
Nwabuikwu be grateful to me I have just made you more popular than your naivety
and your over sabi would have made you. I hope you enjoy my honest opinion.
