President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has said that Nollywood, the sobriquet that generally describes the Nigerian film industry, is not a dumping ground for evictees of the Big Brother Naija.
Rollas made the comment after Sunday, September 5 eviction of four housemates – Peace, JMK, Boma and Tega. It appears Rollas was telling the evictees not to think that their newfound fame was a ticket into Nollywood.
He had said: “Nollywood! Not a dumping ground for evictees!!! Case closed.”
But another actor, Bolanle Ninalowo, said Rollas was wrong.
“This one hit me hard! Oga @emekarollas you’re wrong for this one baba!!! Abeg who is Nollywood for? Maka needs to be enlightened. “
