NABA: For The Good Of Their People NABA: For The Good Of Their People
HOW did they say it? Politicians need to become better actors, while actors become better politicians. With the controversy-riddled tenure of Governor Peter Obi, gradually inching to an end so many things have been going on in Anambra State, all in the quest for the occupation of the Government House. So many camps have sprung up too, and the menaces (including the high spate of kidnapping) have been attributed to politics. So sad. But all hopes may not have been lost, especially with the way the politicians like to dance to the gallery by hobnobbing with showbiz stars. Now Nollywood artistes who hail from Anambra State seem determined to do something about the situation of their state akin to what the Hollywood stars did when Obama erupted.Under the aegis Nollywood Association for Better Anambra the artistes have formed a group to exterminate all the evils that have led to the so called crisis befalling the state. In a couple of days, I was told, they would be in Anambra State with a programme aptly called KAKA (short for Kick Against Kidnapping in Anambra State) which will see them traversing the important cities of the state to campaign against the trend. So many notable artistes are involved in this project including Obi Madubogwu( King of Musanga), Charles Okafor, Teco Benson, Ngozi Ezeonu, Benita Nzeribe and Ernest Obi.Of course this move should be applauded considering the fact that one of the notable Nollywood actors from Anambra State, Pat Attah, who returned from his new base in Hamburg Germany, kept the whereabouts of his family to himself simply for the fear of the kidnappers.
