Majid Michel In Trouble For Supporting Nollywood

Ghanian actor, Majid Michel, 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 Van Vicker, blossomed in Nollywood, allegedly made the comment on HITZ, an entertainment channel which operates under Sound City 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 anger 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 most Ghanaian actors have made their names in Nollywood while Nigeria is a second home to many of their artistes like Yvonne Nelson, Nadia Buari, Jackie Appiah and many others.
