Avoid The Hospitality Industry If You’re Wicked – Mary Njoku

Mary Njoku

Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has come out to address Nigerians in the hospitality industry. She recently had her say via her Instagram page, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, those who enjoy premium wickedness should avoid working in hospitality and take on back-office roles or storekeeping where they don’t have to interact directly with customers.

Mary added that customer-facing jobs will always require patience and a welcoming attitude.

Her words, “Please, if you enjoy witchcraft, premium wickedness, hospitality is not for you.

There are many other roles, such as back-office and storekeeping. Where you don’t have to interact directly with customers.

Customer-facing jobs like restaurants, hotels, front desks, and Visa centres require patience, professionalism, and a welcoming attitude.

When that’s missing, it affects people’s experiences and hurts businesses.

This is a simple plea.
If you know this isn’t your strength, please consider roles behind the scenes where you can practice your wickedness and bitterness freely with good job security.
Thank you.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
