This would have been funny if it wasn't pathetic. According to a few Nollywood practitioners who were present at the Best of Nollywood Awards, which held last night in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, the governor of the state Rotimi Amaechi practically insulted Nollywood practitioners to their faces.

According to a source who reached out to LIB, during his speech at the award after he gave veteran actress Liz Benson a Lifetime Achievement Award, Governor Rotimi said that people in Nollywood are products of circumstances/necessity. He said that the only reason they are in Nollywood is because they couldn't find other jobs, that if they had, they won't be actors. Rotimi said these actors studied sciences, law, medicine etc but because they couldn't find jobs, they embraced Nollywood.


Present when he said this were Nollywood veterans including Liz Benson, Kenneth Okonkwo, Shola Sobowale, Desmond Elliot, Moses Inwang, Dickson Iroegbu, Bob-manuel Udokwu, Patience Ozokwor, Elvis Chuks, AY, Iyabo Ojo, Emem Isong and many others.

Governor Rotimi also put two veteran actresses on blast. He told the crowd that he gives Joke Silva and Kate Henshaw bags of money whenever they come to Rivers state. And then claimed he was the one who encouraged Kate Henshaw to go into politics.

Like that wasn't enough, Governor Amaechi then said he went into politics for money.

Some of the Nollywood practitioners are angry about what the governor said and have asked the AGN to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Asides being directed to a blog desperate to regain readers,d story itself in d blog does not contain any quote itself from d said speech.I bet wen d real quote is read,it wud b clear dat whoever wrote d report either has comprehension problem or quoted d speech out of context.

Rotimi Amaechi was the reason Kate Henshaw divorced her husband, I am privy to that information. Sharing bags of money ? His personal money ? This na real wa. Amaechi is one of the reasons people dont take APC seriously, the guy is such a classless psycho.

Is this Amaechi naturally drunk or what?

lol. I'm not surprised

This is mere beer parlor gossip.

This man speaks before he thinks.... hmmmm


Those ladies he gives bags of money...

These Nigerian so-called opposition party gives the word "progressives" a bad name.



By the way is Amaechi a political scientist? Wetin him dey find for politics sef? Why him no go practice wetin him read for college?
Imagine the arrogance

This man wasn't like this at inception. Something seems to have gone wrong with him. All these 'protection and power juju' these people acquire,who is sure the thing hasn't started disturbing his mental state

SOuth South version of FFK.

Nigerians hate to hear the truth..

He said all that

How many wraps of weed did he smoke before spewing this poo

Was he acting as a comedian or what,like they do in some of those white house press briefings that American presidents do host sometimes? He sounds drunk.

Anyway,Nigerians are crazy.

I don't think so. He wasn't like this before. Honestly, idk but I'm starting to think APC did something to that man because ever since he joined them, he just misyarning everywhere.

A beg make we pray for Amaechi oooo.

All of you abusing Amaechi because of a mere gossip from a blog, have you read the statement by BON the organisers of the program that Amaechi never insulted them. I know you will all avoid that thread because for you is anything or reason to abuse Amaechi. Most of you abusing him may never achieve or make the impact he has made in life. Please go and read the report of BON and go get a life. Amaechi is not the cause of your frustrations.
