Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has come out to say that God knows about the coronavirus pandemic.

He recently revealed that the reason for the pandemic is humanity going against the will of God.

According to him, God cannot be happy with the several cases of same-gender marriage that is now legal in some parts of the world, so he might be punishing us.

He added that this could be another case of Sodom and Gomorrah, only that this one affects the entire word.

His words, “I believe that God knows what is happening. Don’t worry about if it originated from a laboratory in China or from a market in China, Wuhan. The point is that this thing has gone round the entire world. If God were not part of this, if God did not know what is going on, it wouldn’t have gone round the whole world.

“I think that humanity is being punished for going against the dictates of our lord. For those of you who read the bible. For those who read the bible, remember what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because of Sodom. Sodom is one word, homosexuality. Today, the situation is worse. God couldn’t tolerate Sodom and Gommorah, so, he destroyed them.

“To imagine that countries that profess Christianity can now come out and say that men can now marry each other.”

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.
