MONEY,MONEY,MONEY... IS THAT ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IN NOLLYWOOD?

Politics and controversies have surfaced between the organizers of the “Face of Nollywood” competition and Mr. Ejike Asiegbu, current president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), concerning issues of ownership of rights to the event. This is a perfect example of the "greed" problem facing the Nigerian movie industy
This grand finale of the competition is billed to hold at the International Conference Centre, Abuja tomorrow.

Before now, ten finalists have been selected in an internet poll conducted by Potech Ltd on behalf of Total Television Studios, run by Messrs Chike Brian and Ifanyi Ikpoenyi, both Nollywood practitioners. I can't help but wonder who actually voted for these people beacause the publicity itself was weak just like any average Nigerian movie.
Shortlisted actors/ actresses are

Stella Damasus
Patience Ozokwo.
Genevieve Nnaji,
Saheed Balogun,
Ramsey Noah Jnr
Bukky Wright,
Emeka Ike
Kanayo O. Kanayo,
Ini Edo,
Richard Mofe Damijo.
In a rather strange twist, Mr. Asiegbu has moved swiftly to scuttle the event claiming that the organizers infringed on his rights as the original owner of the brand's trademark. I wonder if the main purpose of this competition is to develop and generate interest in the Nigerian movie industry or to generate funds into private pockets. why the politics? can't we just put creativity first and stop celebrating mediocrity.
