| Key Nollywood Figures Fights Over Presidential Aspirants Endorsed by Ogbenijhybo(op): 9:10am On Mar 27, 2015 |
Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola and popular Nollywood filmmaker and critic, Charles Novia recently threw shades at each other over their choice of candidates for the 2015 elections. Reports say the Alan Poza producer had allegedly said 99% of Nigerian entertainers are behind Goodluck Jonathan ; an assertion Foluke didn’t take kindly to. The actress reportedly replied: ‘You are obviously wrong with that. Maybe that’s a figment of your imagination. You can’t make collective statement on behalf of everyone. On the contrary, many of us voluntarily support Buhari . In the time of OBJ we knew how he favoured artistes, even without him giving us a dime but in GEJ’s time, all of us are being wooed by appointments, money and recognition in Aso Rock. A lot of us feel we need someone that would teach us how to fish, not one that would always give us fish. True value can never be bought with money. So, Mr. Charles Novia, don’t make a collective statement because people like us that have values don’t take it lightly.’ Not one to let things go without a fight, Charles Novia fired back: ‘When artistes collectively endorsed a person or join hands in the majority to support a cause, the Heavens listened and joined. Those within the fold who leave the line make their choices and Freudian slips. They become tragic heroes or comic villains. I respect the choices the 1% on the other side of the divide have made but when it comes to GEJ, the entertainment sector is fully in the majority in support of him. ‘Daramola, obviously you are part of the 1%. My points on the subject suffice. Is it an old man who has 150 cows as an asset who will teach you how to fish in his old age? Sorry o. Many of us will stick to the tested fisherman from Otueke, who knows how to catch fish and can teach us too.’ The scenario is not new as Charles is a relentless supporter of the incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan while Foluke is well known to be quite vocal in her support for the main opposition party ( APC) and its flag-bearer, Muhammadu Buhari . source: thenet.ng/2015/03/foluke-daramola-charles-novia-trade-words-over-buhari-jonathan/ |
