Fathia Balogun is not pleased with the way the Nigerian movie industry has been segregated based on language.

A lot of people are of the opinion that the term 'Nollywood' belong to only English speaking actors, while pushing Nigerian native language movies to another group entirely, which has resulted in the creation of Kannywood in the northern part of the country.

Spitting fire, popular actress, Fathia Balogun has slammed such opinion that separates English actors from Yoruba actors, laying emphasis that Nollywood covers all movies in the country.

She said;
"If I do Yoruba movie doesn't mean I can't speak English. Or because you do English movies, you can speak English more than me. No! Give me my script, and I will read it, and I will do it. For me, Nollywood is Nollywood. There is nothing like English actor, Yoruba actor. We are all doing movies.”

Aunty, no be we tell you make you be local champion,

Yorubawood Abi wetin una dey call am na for Yoruba,
Kannywood na for Hausa,
While Nollywood is for all Nigerians, be you Yoruba, hausa, igbo ijaw, Efik, Benin, idoma etc.

Double post

Nollywood, Kannywood, Ghanywood, ThirdWorldwood... all belong to the dustbin. Holly 'wood' is American & it's for the Americans alone. Nigerian, Ghanaian actors, etc, please get a life! Stay off this colonial mentality syndrome. Name your entertainment industry after something local. Forget the ...WOOD. Damn it!

but for Christ sake, who wood don eep?

She's actually right..it's a pity most of the acclaimed English actors don't even know what acting entails yet they get the roles with their borrowed fake accents..at times I wonder if I'm watching an American movie that has audio issues because you'll need to listen extra attentively before you'll get what they are saying..aside the comedy movies that entertains and make one laugh well.the rest na wash ... .
