Actor and movie maker Femi Ogedengbe took to his Facebook page
today to call out all you guys who criticized him for naming his twin
babies, Hollywood and Nollywood...lol. See what he wrote above and after the cut...
Hahahahahahah Nigeria my country! The level
of hypocrisy in Nigeria is just too high.....Or how do I explain the
attack I and my wife received on Linda ikeji's blog for adding Nollywood
& HOLLYWOOD in the list of names we gave our bundles o...f
Joy : King Praise Micheal Victor Tochukwu Jesuogbo Iyinoluwa Hollywood
& Queen Grace Michelle Victoria Peculia Chimamaka Jesukomeh Opeoluwa
Nollywood . I guess all those who condemned us have been so blinded by
Hatred that they couldn't see all the other names ..Anyway thanks for
noticing me my wife and our children But What is really bad in the two
names ? Well there is always two sides to a coin and everything in life
is to me like an abstract art work of a genius . It always come with
different interpretations depending on how every one percieve it from
there stand point .....Most people who criticise the names gave their
reason being ; the two industries (HOLLYWOOD & NOLLYWOOD) are
synonymous with immorality . And I wonder if they are truely alright .
because if they are normal they will know that despite some of the
negative reports from Nollywood , It is safe for Nigerians to declare
Nollywood day because this is an industry that has consistently put our
name in the world map and when one is fortunate to travel out of Nigeria
he or she will realise Nigerians are the only people that are not proud
of NOLLYWOOD. If we choose to look inward queations like ; where and
What would have become of Names like , Tonto Dike, Mercy Johson, Jim
Iyke Kevin Ikeduba , Odun Adekola in a country where unemployment is at
it highest level . I for one will still be in the back street of Mushin
hussling or dead like 35 of my childhood friends who all died between
1990 - 1995 around wuraola in pako Eleja Area because they all decided
to take the short-cut (armed robbery) . But thanks to Nollywood , I am
now Femi Ogedengbe! It is a pity that people will seat in the comfort of
there homes hide behind the freedom that such platform as Facebook and
all other social network provide to judge the logic behind the actions
of people they don't know. Here in Nigerian there is a town called
Umuagwo & Umueke (descendants of snakes) and you don't think that is
weird enough but some of you whose family names are something around
the neighbourhood of Esubiyi Sango these and Ogun all Join in condeming a
name that has its origin in such a vibrant industry as Nollywood that
has engage more Nigerian youth in one way or the other and have helped
in no small measure to put smile on our collective faces unlike the
Nigeria corrupt politicians who we shamelessly sing their praise ..In as
much as I appreciate everyone who congratulated me and my wife Nkechi
Diane The matter wey dey face Nigeria pass Femi Ogedengbe name pikinses
Nollywood & Nollywood . Abi Na bro's Boko "insecurity" Haram we want
talk about abi na corruorion we wan yan....In my little way I have
addressed the issue of corrupt politician in my 1994 movie (Tear of the
GHETTO) What have you all done to show your displeasure ? Nothing but
you wan carry placards to protest my children names .....broses and
aunts make una park well oh ...Long live Nigeria
