Nollywood veteran, Chiwetalu Agu has come out to warn about the consequences of toying with others’ emotions.
He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the recent tragic incident involving an ex-girlfriend allegedly poisoning her former boyfriend and his friends is proof that not everybody has a forgiving heart, so it is best to not step on toes.
Agu added that he keeps telling this younger generation that if they’re not ready for a relationship, they should avoid starting one.
His words, “By now most of us must have seen the story of the pepper soup girl who poisoned her ex-boyfriend and his friends. I don’t know how true the story is but we need to learn one important thing here. In this life, it’s not everyone you hurt that would let you go Scott free. I keep telling this younger generation that if you’re not ready for a relationship or something serious, don’t.
Don’t play with anyone’s emotions because not everybody has a forgiving heart. I’m not saying she did the right thing but I’d you look at it from another angle, dead man tell no tales.
If the victim would never be able to tell his side of the story again. You, as a boy, broke up with her and you still allowed her to prepare a meal for you. May his soul rest in peace. maybe he thought was a normal breakup but to her a lot was damaged. Even his friends are victims of circumstance. I pray this would never happen to our children In Jesus’ name and may we never die from what we don’t know.
I’m a bad guy, I’m a bad girl, one day monkey go go market and never return. Let’s be conscious. To the girl, I leave you to your gate. You have taken a soul that you cannot replace.”
WOW.
Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.
The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.
Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.
Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
