ADC’s Protest Against INEC Was Laughable – Yul Edochie

Yul Edochie

Nollywood actor and politician Yul Edochie has blasted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for its recent protest against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). He recently had his say via his X account, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the opposition party’s demonstration is laughable because ADC’s front-runners have done absolutely nothing for Nigerians.

Yul added that the politicians protesting have not done anything to impact the lives of innocent citizens.

His words, “I looked at the ADC-led protest & I laughed.

All the front men in ADC have been in high positions in Government before but they achieved nothing.
Absolutely nothing.

They made zero impact in the lives of the citizens.

Na them wan fix Nigeria? Coachella event tickets.

I stand firmly with President TINUBU.”

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.
