Ibinabo Fiberisima President Actors Guild Of Nigeria AGN |
On Tuesday the 2nd April i put up a post on this blog with the title ASABA THE SHAME OF NOLLYWOOD which revealed some of the horrible underhand deals that are rocking the Nollywood scene in that little capital. I got a lot of response from that post and since then a lot of people have been calling telling me about their experiences. I honestly underated the rot in the system and the angst of those who have been victims. A lot of people have also asked me to expose those who are involved in this scam. I was not really inclined to do that, I mean who doesn't want to live a long life? But then I got into this very brief conversation with this young woman and I will take the liberty of publishing the conversation verbatim so that you can judge for yourself. Here goes
Na wah o.... I don't believe this rubbish is still going on in AGN. Kai it's very sad indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe person in charge of this Wale Adekunle productions tried and crucified over a slow fire. taking advantage of unsuspecting young women is reprehensible. Maybe that is how the leaders of agn came to the fore, that is why they are not speaking out about this. hiding what is going on in your house is not the way to make it go away. a rat does not go away where there is free food unti you either kill him or chase him away
ReplyDeleteReginald in as much as i hate to be part of this dastardly act been perpetuated in the Industry i have decided to add my voice to this article because if we all do not act now like you said in your earlier note then the blame will be on us all. Please let it be on record that the ASABA case in question have actually brought about this ghostly principalities that has gradually eaten up the industry.. Note that it is not only in ASABA that this norm is being planted but rather all outlet where auditioning is being carried out within the length and breath of this country. ASABA might have just assume this high proportion of inhuman treatment melted out to upcoming act but it should be known that in as much as the issue of ASABA is generating this ugly response now, let us all check ourselves because it goes around all of us. Let the President of AGN try her best right now because the rot in the industry if really open will open a can of worm that even she herself must have also help in promote in time past. we are gradually losing everything from good story to good actors the only thing that matters now is SWAGS....swag an air of indecency that is presently consuming a whole lot of things in the industry... i think it is high time AGN do more than just registering members just for the money and yet the welfare of the member is never protected. Because of this ASABA Scenario we have long way walk past the era of discovering the future of the industry who will fill the space that will be left behind in the no distance time by the likes of Omotola and Genevieve but rather keeping going for selling faces who can't even express themselves in simple English and unfortunate desperadoes who after sleeping with half baked producers will only go around and start dictating to others even going to the point of fighting genuine producers because their foundation into the industry was faulty..... in as much that there is alot to say in respect to this ugly ASABA issues..... i will not want to over flog the issue but rather will want to appeal to all those who have the love of the growth of the industry at heart should quickly put their hand on deck to help fight this monster that is about to consume us all.
