Sexual Harassment Is Rampant In Nollywood

Many big actresses who have made it already are claiming that there are no cases of séxual harassment in movie industry, at least to cover themselves so people wont say they also did it, but some young ones who are not so desperate are trying to expose the mess and probably stop it.
One of such actress is Banke Adewunmi. She said séxual harassment is very real in Nollywood:
“There’s sexual harassment in the Industry. It’s not easy making it without being séxually harassed. Some people think its like trade by barter. It’s real. There should be a level playing ground for all without attaching any dirty conditions. People should be allowed to showcase their God-given talents without any hindrance.”
IMO: Its so pathetic because its not making it easy or even possible for us to spot the real talents in the entertainment industry.
The so called Producers and Marketers will rather give the role to whoever is ready to be their bedmate……..
This really has to stop and its not a battle of just these innocent and talented actors, we have to join them in fishing out all those bad apples denying us a Julia Roberts like or another Genevieve, Omotola, Kate Henshaw and co.
If you have any sexual harassment experience and you’re willing to share, please email me at yusuffoluwagbamila@gmail.com

Nicholas Opara Buys Trademark for ‘Nollywood’ In USA, As Nigerian Movie Industry Loses Right To The Name ‘Nollywood’

Nigeria movie industry popularly called Nollywood will have to look for another name as the name ‘Nollywood’ is now a registered trademark owned by a Nigerian guy living in the States, Nicholas Opara.
According to the United States Patent and Trademark office, the trademark was issued to Nicholas of Kirkland, WA. on December 03, 2013. What this means is that Nicholas Opara now has legal ownership of the term “Nollywood” and every time someone uses that term, they either have to get permission from him or pay him royalties, making it a potential cash cow for him.
Anyone using the word Nollywood in any of his products or services without Nicholas Opara’s permission faces legal liability for trademark infringement and there’s a report that he, allegedly, has already sent a cease and desist letter to a company using the word ‘Nollywood.’
Nollywood is now in its early 20’s, inspired by the spectacle of everyday lives, the movie industry has come to be globally recognised for its prolific output and dramatic narratives. With an annual production of around 1000 films, Nigeria’s film industry brings in an estimated $250m a year, and the total value of the industry ($3.5bn) is estimated to go up significantly when Nigeria rebases its economy.

“I guess my name gives gossips orgasm”says Halima Abubakar

In a new interview with Yes Magazine, this is what Halima said when told people see her as controversial
“I’m not controversial. Why? People talk and the press write. Guess my name gives them (gossips) orgasm. I’m a simple home couch-loving lady. I love my bed, my comfort; whether there is spring or mat, I’m great at home. I don’t party. I feel like I don’t have fun and still not having fun, because I’m too serious and have been working since I was 13 years. But, it’s okay. I’m here making my own rules and making sure I follow them. I love meriting stuff, so I don’t cut corners. Hard work is better. You can sleep your way through, but it never lasts. I knew that from day one. When people reject me, I don’t worry because they are the ones missing and losing, not knowing how amazing I am. People love judging and as long as people love hearing hear says, then they add lies to sweeten the gist. So, how am I controversial? I’m always misunderstood by lots of people. Just because I don’t talk too much does not mean I’m unfriendly or arrogant. I’m just a calm-natured person. Not giving to stress. People have made me calm because of their constant gossips. I’m now like “Django”. I laugh and move on. I know that people still fight for me behind. So, God bless you all for the love.”

Genevieve Nnaji talks about Abducted Girls on CNN

Genevieve was on CNN at 8:30pm tonight where she talked to Max Foster about the abducted Chibok girls .In as much as she was very careful with her words she did give good answers…
Genevieve ‘Nnaji’ is an actress, model and singer who has been raising awareness on the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. She told me they won’t stop till the missing girls are found. Take a listen
“Everyone is involved .We are all mothers ,we are all humans and these are young girls that have been taken to captivity.We just felt that some of us who have a bigger face in terms of being celebrities and having a fan base,we thought it was our responsibility to help shed light and bring to the forefront this inhumane act “
On the government’s response being slow….
“For me I think it will be unfair to say they were slow to react because nobody knew whether they reacted or not. The thing is we we weren’t told, we didn’t know if they were aware of the situation or not. The major problem we had was the lack of communication. We just wanted them to react to us. Now we can see things being put in place, now we can see effort being made and that will be credited to the noise that’s been made, the campaigning that’s been made around the world. We are grateful for all the attention and what it has done is created hope in a situation that seemed hopeless in the beginning.”
On foreign support……..

 “This has been going on way too long and there’s no shame asking for help and in taking it. The truth is, terrorism is not only our problem. It is not a continent problem, it is a global issue and we all have to come together to help it because at the end of the day this is a breach of human rights is something that should concern each and everyone of us.So it is welcome “

How has the crises affected Nigeria 

I think the situation is becoming a bit to close to home  and it has nothing to do with gender or religion.This is a human rights problem.We are all human and what is going on is very inhuman if you ask me.And it has given us confidence to know that our voices are heard allover the world and we won’t stop till we bring back the girls
