Self-righteousness will kill Nigerians. Tonto Dikeh was rude. A sensible human being or an adult will see the need to apologize. Because Ghana is a smaller country and because our movie industry is more successful doesn't mean a thing. If you truly want to compare the two, compare things that matter. No one moves to a country for it's movie industry unless they want to act. Ghana has stable light, stable government. No one is bombing embassies in Ghana. For stability reasons, many Nigerians flood Ghana.

Nollywood is bigger than Ghollywood. Oya clap. The issue is Tonto Dikeh being rude and so many have taken offense to the Van Vicker/RMD comparison. Na wa lol.

Kajina:

She can even go to Hollywood and act, but if she wants to go to Ghana, she knows what to do. A simple apology will not hurt.  

Lol. She had an issue with Van Vicker, which is interfering production of the director's film, (1)which led to the director telling her to apologize or face harsh consequences. So, as you can see, it's no longer an issue with only Van Vicker. (2)If I antagonize a coworker at a workplace, my boss will get involved and ask for a formal apology or face termination. (3)It's no longer an issue with only that coworker; now it's me versus that workplace.*If it was a comment in the paper, or at a party, then this would be an issue of some Ghanaians overreacting. However, it took place in Ghana. The film execs are Ghanaians. She disrespected their biggest star. (4)If Nadia Buari was filming on our land and acted like Dikeh towards Genevieve Nnaji or Mike Ezuruonye, no Nigerian would take it lightly. See how people are crying foul over an unfair comparison. If Buari behaved like that in Nigeria, all Nigerians would be reminding her that it's because of Nigeria that she has a career in the first place.

(5)So be fair and put yourself in their shoes. Dikeh started it. Let her finish it peacefully before they try and finish her

Nayah:

Jaguda, she's a star, so she has to show the good example that's simple I don't really understand why some are bashing Ghanaians comments are a bit unfair towards them forgetting what's the rudeness of a young lady can cause especially these days, hope it's not an excuse for this useless rivalry

Jaguda the most childish attitute is those from TD sorry

Kajina:

You are entitled to your own opinion. But when all is said and done, Tonto must apologize to Van or stick to Nollywood, PERIOD!

Treat Us Like Celebrities - Ghanaian Actresses.
Actresses Roselyn Ngissah and Beverly Afaglo have bemoaned the way they are treated as celebrities in Ghana. Speaking in an exclusive interview with News-One last Friday, both actresses acknowledged there were celebrities in Ghana.

However, they said, as compared to their colleagues in the Western world, they were not celebrated. The reason, according to them, was “education”.

“We are in Africa and it is now that people are getting to understand what celebrity is and know how to celebrate the stars. We are not there yet. But gradually we are getting there.

Looking at the way people are treating us now and then, I think it is getting better. But we’ve not got there yet,” Roslyn Ngissah said. “You know someone sees you and goes like…if the person wants to say hi, then the person goes like oh it is her, it is not her.

But when we meet people who have travelled abroad and come back, when they meet us they are like ‘oh I want an autograph’ because they understand how to celebrate stars over there. It is not yet here but we are gradually getting there.

However there was a time I went a primary school and the children there were like they want autograph and I was surprised,” she disclosed. “Treat us like a celebrity and the celebrities that we are. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you see a celebrity or star out there and you want to talk to the person or she looks familiar, walk up to the person, talk to the person and chat with the person.

For me I wouldn’t be nasty or rude to people who walk up to me to find out if I am the one. It is not all about autographs. Me, if I see somebody I see as a role model, I will walk up to you,” she added.

“Sometimes when you go to the bank, they will make you join a long queue, they don’t want to care.

But there was this other bank I went to and a lady gave me chance. I am not saying treat me like a god. Sometimes there are people who have been in the bank for hours…somebody when they even see you they even get angry (sic).

For me, I have had too many experiences when it comes to people and how they celebrate stars. But I think we are getting there,” Roslyn concluded.

Beverly said even though she had not done many movies in Nigeria, as compared to Ghana, she got a lot of attention anytime she entered the Nollywood country.

“I realize that the only time people are excited when they see their celebrities most of the time is at premiere. After the premiere when they see you, oh yaa it is ok (sic),” Beverly added. “I love Nigeria. I have not done so much in Nigeria but anytime I got to Nigeria, the welcome is overwhelming.

Because of the fact that they know I am not a Nigerian and from another country, they are happy to see me. Even at the airport, the security and everybody is like I have seen you on TV, we love you,” Beverly added.

Both actresses called on fans and the public to celebrate their Ghanaian stars.

Roslyn and Beverly are popular figures in Ghana’s movies industry with a lot of movies to their credit.

Roslyn co-won the Ghana Movie Award best actress last year with actresses Jackie Appiah, Yvonne Okoro and Juliet Ibrahim.

Beverly on the other hand picked an award in Nigeria for her role in ‘About To Wed’ series.

^^ lol Publisher humm I'd summarize like this : Many have seen this on Nigeria vs Ghana and bashing ghanaians thinking they're overreacted( which I think it's quite true)
But for now I see TD as an irresponsible young lady, who has an amazing potential
See what showstopa has said " Nigeria is the proverbial big brother who disrespected himself so much his silly little brothers do not have any regards for him.It's what you get when you don't get your acts right".


That's the core of the issue

jennykadry:

You haven't answered my question yet. Gen said worse things to Van, why wasn't she banned? Them fear face.

jennykadry:

Ghollywood truly is very immature.

publisher:


I think the issue is this, i was in Accra in 2007/08. And everywhere i went from Teshie lungwa to Dankwa circle and Osu,Nigeria seemed to be on everyones lips,mainly negative,very few positives.

publisher:

But believe me, forget what u read on nairaland, MOST Nigerians dont even care about Ghana,we dont see Ghana as a threat in ANYWAY.

jaguda:


Kajina, u need to wake up, dat apology is NOT FORTHCOMING

Why is that Nigerians see this issue as an something between 2 colleagues and the Ghanians are seeing it a something between two countries? Why?

But when you are on the job it’s totally a different ball game, because there is something called work ethics.

baby-boy:


Tell me where, you would be threatened, with a nationwide ban because you lack work ethics?
