Congratulating Sophia Egbueje Despite Knowing Her Shameless Work Is A Disgrace – Patrick Doyle

Nollywood veteran, Patrick Doyle has come out to blast socialite, Sophia Egbueje for her shameful means of livelihood. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, seeing some half-wits congratulating her online on the purchase was disgraceful because the entire nation has heard about her shameful means of livelihood.

Doyle added that it is a shame to see how romanticising of iniquity has become the stock in trade of dimwits amongst us.

His words, “She boasted about the value of her wristwatch and flaunted a 600 million Naira car. The combined value of both items is in the range of 650 to 750 million Naira. Some half-wits were impressed and effusively congratulated her as she smiled and flaunted both items. As if we hadn’t heard about her shameful means of livelihood. Meanwhile, I can bet that there are members of her extended family who are going through a tough time. The romanticising of iniquity has become the stock in trade of dimwits amongst us.”

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.
