Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Remmy Njoku has questioned the benefits of being part of Nollywood guilds and associations.
The wife of Iroko TV boss, via her Instagram story, revealed that a budding filmmaker asked her about the benefits of being part of the guilds, and she is struggling to give a clear answer. She asked her fans and followers to give her answers with supporting evidence.
“A budding filmmaker asked me, “What are the benefits of being part of Nollywood guilds and associations? And I’m struggling to give a clear answer.
Can someone help outline the benefits with supporting evidence”.
Back in 2023, Njoku posed an important question to celebrities on life after stardom. Pointing out how no one stays at the top forever, Mary questioned what would become of them once their fame ended. She further asked if they have a real life to fall back on or have burnt down their real life.
Last year, the wife of Jason Njoku had sent a wake-up call to social media users. She revealed that she misses the days when people would confront others when they mess up and have team conversations with them. She noted how what people do these days is to become keyboard warriors and seek sympathy and temporary fame on social media instead of facing issues head-on.
In a different news, the filmmaker had sent a message to Nigerian religious women, noting how there was nothing wrong with IVF. She admonished religious women to feel free to include IVF in their testimonies so that God can use them to inspire and bless other families as well.
The mother of three had, in an Instagram post, cautioned Nigerians on the need to stop being too spiritual. She admonished them to stop disturbing God with their physical problems, as she pointed out how Nigerians have a high number of churches and mosques yet lack food, security, infrastructure, health, good roads, and physical justice.
She had, in another post, advised Nigerians to lower their expectations about Men of God, as they are humans too and are subject to make mistakes.
