People please can someone tell me what the aim, objectives and duties of this society called
Actors Guild of Nigeria is? Or am i the only one who thinks they are useless. All i have heard them do is ban actors and actresses for ridiculous reasons. That organization should be a union for all Nollywood actors instead it has become an avenue for old retched
has been actors the likes of Segun Arinze and Ejike Asiegbu who have turned it into an avenue of power for themselves. You can imagine banning an actress
Ini Edo from making movies for a whole year just because 'she dresses provocatively' or was rude to you, in the case of
Yvonne Nelson in Ghana.
If an actor is difficult to work with then it is up to the producer of the movie to decide if they want her in their movie or not, i dont see why the president of the Actors Guild should
put a ban on an actress who was rude to him. In the Hollywood we are all copying, Charlie Sheen recently cursed out his co star Jon Cryer and the producer of his show
Two and a half Men and he wast
banned from acting in Hollywood. But any one who wants to hire him is aware of how difficult it is to work with him.
Another Ridiculous one was some time ago the likes of Genevive Nnaji, Omotala J Ekeinde just to name a few were banned because they were expensive. Biko nu if mama Iyabo is selling her groundnut more expensive than mama Shade, wont you buy from mama Shade? Does that mean the market people will drive mama Iyabo out from the market because she is not selling at the same price with them. By the time her groundnut turns to a python and bites her in her shop she'll start selling at the same price with other market women.
Another one is banning grown men like
Chinedu Ikhedieze and Osita Iheme aka Aki & Pawpaw from acting adult roles because children imitate what they do. This is why movies are rated. if a movie is rated for adult viewing only and you buy it for your kids because you see aki and pawpaw on the cover doesn't that show how stupid you are.
So i don't see why copycat Nollywood and
Gollywood should be banning actors, its just another way we Africans like love the idea of power and being drunk with it and using it the way we want. Banning actors is used by these people controlling these guilds when they have a personal vendetta against an actor. Like someone said Africans can only copy but cant paste well.
