Nollywood More Important Than Media..Goodluck



 President Goodluck Jonathan Tuesday denigraded the Nigerian media, saying Nollywood was more effective in reaching the grassroots than the media.
He equally noted that it was onl...y the Nollywood that government can partner with to redifine the country.

The president spoke when he granted an audience to Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), at the Presidential Villa.

"The Nollywood touches every Nigerian. So many bodies even like mass communication , the journalists and so on, so many women in the villages don't know about what they do because it is almost for the elites.

"But to you ( Nollywood), you touch the children from a very young age to the oldest people. So, the actors' guild is a body that we must really assist in anyway possible.

"It is only Nollywood that government can partner with to redefine Nigeria. The people that can redefine the country and carry messages are Nollywood people.

  3. Anonymous 8.52pm you are stupid and daft.. read his statement ""The Nollywood touches every Nigerian. So many bodies even like mass communication , the journalists and so on, so many women in the villages don't know about what they do because it is almost for the elites"..So all those old illiterate old men and women who don't have even electricity to watch TV or Movies but rely on transistor radios for news are not using media. What of all those abokis and Fulani cows tenders in the bush, they watch nollywood abi. They listen to news via nollywood?.This Jonathan is the greatest mumu President we ever had. God forbid. He MUST leave in 2015
