Nollywood actor and movie producer, Femi Ogedegbe who welcomed a set of twins on May 27, has revealed that he and his wife named their son and daughter Hollywood and Nollywood respectively because of their love for the movie industries. This decision has brought him a lot of criticism online. Many of his critics said he would make his children a laughing stock at school.
The actor, however, stands by his decision and fires back at critics, saying; “How do I explain the attack I and my wife have received on different blogs for adding Nollywood and Hollywood to the names we gave our bundles of Joy? King Praise Micheal Victor Tochukwu Jesuogbo Iyinoluwa Hollywood and Queen Grace Michelle Victoria Peculiar Chimamaka Jesukomeh Opeoluwa Nollywood. I guess all those who condemned us have been so blinded by hatred that they couldn’t see all other names but the Hollywood and Nollywood.”
“Most people who criticise the names gave their reasons; they said the two industries are synonymous with immorality and I wonder if they are truly alright. We Nigerians are the only people that are not proud of Nollywood.
