Ademola Olonilua For theatre veteran, Dejumo Lewis popularly known for his role in the classic drama, ‘Village Headmaster,’ one major thing that irks him about the movie industry is the term Nollywood, and he made his disdain known to Saturday Beats during a recent interview. https://punchng.com/i-have-a-strong-dislike-for-the-term-nollywood-dejumo-lewis/ 31 Likes 3 Shares

Mr man, find out why it was given the name, Nollywood and stop this unnecessary criticism. Must you bring Latin semantic into Nigerian situation? Jealousy no go kill some people. Because nollywood came after you had left the scene you are here talking rubbish. Nonsense. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Lol! I share his sentiment as well but let's face it, Nigeria isn't the only country that has copied the 'wood' thing. There is Bollywood, Ghollywood and Nollywood and other unknown 'llywoods' out there. The term is now used to refer to a country's movie industry than the cradle of American movies itself. 21 Likes 1 Share |

U spoke my mind sir. “Hollywood is a place in USA. ...where’s Nollywood in Nigeria?” Instead of building a world class film village, and call it a good name, we are blindly copying... What a mockery in a comity of nations 46 Likes 3 Shares |

Giftexx: Copy Copy should be South East Motto, because they dominate Molly firewood, What do you expect from a land that imitates everything from fake drugs to fake shoes, fake cloths everything is fake down there. Last week channels TV reported a case of Igbos caught producing fake Hero alcoholic Beers to public consumptions, imagine as if Hero beer is not fake enough, they had to fake a fake. Thousands of Nigerians are dead because of these imitation mentality, may God see us............... 11 Likes |

Anyone who doesn't know Dejumo Lewis doesn't deserve to know him. He was one of the best back when acting was......well......acting! Now? Just forget it! Just like the music industry that is serving a local pool of lovers of the same old nonsense, "Nollywood" is hardly getting any international attention, yet we think it's a big deal. The Chinese League is a money-spinner, yet the world doesn't take it seriously. That's what Nollywood is like. 6 Likes |
