Nollywood and its practitioners would never stop making mountains out of
mole hills. Sometimes, it's amazing how some people reason. With the
severity of the global economic crunch which has saw the closure and
folding up of companies on a daily basis, this leaves you amazed at the
shallow reasoning of some" Nollywoodians" who still do not see anything
wrong in extravagance.
African Movie Academy Awards hosted by
Peace Anyim Osigwe might have come and gone but the echoes will still be
around for a while. The last AMAA, recorded a few support from
corporate organizations unlike the previous ones where they always had
more than enough choice sponsors to dilly -dally with and choose from.
It's
obvious that the aircraft that conveyed the artistes and artists to
this year's AMAA was one of the sponsors of the glorious event. There
are reports that our so called glamorous" Nollywoodians" were piled into
the aircraft like packs of cards into the economy class. Some of them
were of the opinion that, they should have boarded them as business
class fliers to buttress their status as stars.
Where and how has
the airline embarrassed them, what is the hue and cry about? The
sponsors might have probably left an instruction that they could only
support with flights in the economic class. When are we going to learn
to start appreciating and get our priorities right in Africa? If anyone
wanted to fly on Business Class, nobody would have objected but the fact
remained that, the stipends AMAA organizers provided might not be
enough to fly a Business class that's why none of them made any move to
spend from his or her pocket as a support to the celebration of African
talents in the make-believe world.
