'Why I named my twins Nollywood & Hollywood' - Femi Ogedengbe


Just as people are still wondering why he chose the names ‘Hollywood’ and ‘Nollywood’ for his set of twin who were brought to the world in May, Yoruba actor/movie produce,r Femi Ogedengbe gushed to Encomium magazine this week about the reason for the names and he said thus:


"The names are my own way of appreciating the industry that gave me a chance, that is Nollywood and the industry I aspire to breakthrough, Hollywood. I will simply say thank you to the people who criticized me for giving me attention. It shows they noticed me. Also it shows they left their own problems to respond to a guy with a very humble background from Dagbale Akoko Edo who grew up in the slums of Mushin. Furthermore, to those who say I am an attention seeker, I say thanks to them for granting me and my wife undue attention. Sadly it did not come with money"
