''Stella I thought it wise to let you know that there is katakata in AGN lagos state chapter.
The gist is that Mr Victor Osuagwa purportedly won the AGN chairmanship election but it did not go down well with some people who felt they were the new emerging kingmakers.
Amongst them are Mr. Frank Dallas the national PRO who first contested with a fake certificate and was disqualified when he couldn't produce the degree he said he got from UI.
Then by certain magical AGN concoction he was cleared to contest as somebody who at least went to secondary school although he never produced his school certificate result and Now calls himself the ADEDIBU of Nollywood. This sobriquet is quite on point as you and i know the numerous universities the real Adedibu attended.
Then there is Mathias Obiahagbon who pecuniarily was following IB Fiberisima the way flies follow 'sheet'.. After IB won, he asked for a large compensation from her which she obviously declined and thereafter they became enemies.
Then there is Paul Obazele,the former AMP president,who still secretly addresses himself as the AMP president,a scheme the current president is aware of because paul reluctantly relinquished the position of AMP president and he's been looking for relevance.
The AGN chairmanship election provided it but his camp supporting one unknown minion, Pedro Akambi lost to Victor Osuagwu in an obviously controversial election.
Then the rattle snake of the lot is Emeka Rollas. Since he lost to Miss Fiberesima, he's been in hiding in person but has been present in scheming and political shenaniganism. It is alleged that he is the architect of the whole imbroglo using Paul, Mathias, Frank, and his boy Emeka Rising as his foot soldiers.
Text messages are flying right, left and centre from both camps laying claim to the chairmanship position. However the Board of trustees headed by Chief Ifeanyi Dike has recognised Mr/chief Victor Osuagwu as the chairman of AGN lagos state.
Stella we are still watching as events unfold and i will keep your readers udated''

ReplyDeleteWho ever says he has no sin, let him cast the first stone. What is happening in Nollywood is not peculiar to it. It happens in every association, guild, union, [student or town union] churches, political parties as long as money is involved. Since Nollywood is a collection of human beings, i would have been surprised if the opposite was happening. Government has a larger part of the blame. Having survived this far [20 years] the government should by now be closely involved in restructuring the industry. But they are more comfortable in using them during political campaigns [and sometimes the ladies during their private parties. Compare their lifestyles of big expensive cars and big houses with what they are paid as actresses and you'll see why the trend will not stop].
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine what will happen if all the practitioners fighting and killing themselves for peanuts were engaged in locations shooting one movie or the other. There will be nobody to fight in AGN, AMP, or DGN. It is an idle and hungry mind that fights for such positions because they want to use the position to gain government recognition and embezzle guild funds. [Check out the lifestyles of some of the guild leaders before and after their tenures] So instead of being on set doing what they know best, we see them as handbags of politicians during political rallies and events. If issues of hunger, poverty and idleness are addressed in Nollywood, the industry will experience a great leap.
