Gov. Alex Otti Is Showcasing Projects Started By Orji Uzor Kalu – Doris Ogala

Doris Ogala

Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has openly defended Senator Orji Uzor Kalu over his recent criticism of Governor Alex Otti. The moviestar, who recently had a fallout with Pastor Chris Okafor, recently took to social media to throw her full support behind Kalu.

According to her, Orji Kalu is her boss, and his comment about Otti’s government merely showcasing projects he originally executed during his time as governor is nothing but the truth.

Doris added that Abia State’s celebrated road projects are clearly the handiwork of Kalu’s past administration.

Her words, “What my boss, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, said about Governor Alex Otti is true. Alex Otti is only repainting roads that were originally built by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.”

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.
