One of Ghana’s biggest names in the movie industry, MajidMichel, has seen himself gathering hate from his own people over a comment where he reportedly made that only the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood, truly
exists and that their Ghanaian counterpart, Ghollywood, only exist in name. Michel, who alongside the likes of John Dumelo and VanVicker, blossomed in Nollywood, allegedly made the comment on HITZ, an entertainment channel which operates under SoundCity TV in Nigeria, but his Ghanaian fans have brought out the knives and forks, threatening to cut him into pieces anytime they see him in the country.
This is what Majid said that has drawn the flaks of his countrymen:
“There is nothing like Ghollywood, as some Ghanaians have claimed, but there is only Nollywood in Africa.
“It was Nigeria that came up with the whole idea and made it a reality for others to follow.”
The rivalry between Nollywood and Ghollywood is an issue that has raged for some time now but the truth is that mostGhanaian actors have made their names in Nollywood whileNigeria is a second home to many of their artistes like YvonneNelsonNadia BuariJackie Appiah and many others.
So which of the ‘woods’ do you think is better?
