    Inojie expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support received from Nigerians nationwide, emphasising the importance of not remaining a silent bystander when domestic violence takes place.

    “We are truly grateful for the tremendous response to ‘Make We Halla’. The outpouring of support and engagement from the public has been inspiring. Now we want to take the momentum to the next level. We are asking bystanders to take action – Make We Halla – to show they don’t agree with violence and take a stand.”

     This is an issue close to the heart of both Inojie and Nuhu, as it is likely to be for many Nigerians, as research shows 1 in every 3 Nigerian women have experienced domestic violence.

     Although Nuhu instinctively decides they should ignore the situation, Inojie declares, “Evil thrives when good men keep quiet.” Together, they spark a collective demonstration with those in the restaurant by making noise, to show their disapproval and take a stand against the violence. The rallying cry, #MakeWeHalla, is an open invite to us all, encouraging bystanders to show that they oppose domestic violence.

     Inojie and Nuhu are using their platforms to inspire Nigerians to recognize their own power and speak up when they witness domestic violence within their own communities.

    Nollywood grapples with actresses promoting diverse ventures – Inojie

    Season actor, Charles Inojie, has expressed reservation over the purported influx of women of little or no substance in the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood.

    Inojie voiced his displeasure with upcoming actresses who use the industry as a platform for advertising their ‘other’ enterprises during an interview on the ‘Honest Bunch Podcast’.

    He characterised them as opportunists with no genuine passion for Nollywood who merely wished to take advantage of the business for their own selfish purposes.

    Asserting that they are on a mission to attract movie producers and directors in order to land jobs, Inojie likened them to the biblical character Jezebel’s daughters.

    The “Johnson” actor said: “Those set of people who pay movie producers to star in a movie, are only chasing after the title. They just want to hold onto it as a side hustle, as many of them are into businesses. They just need a tag for Nollywood.

    “It came into a time in the industry when there was an influx, it was as if the Devil opened the gate for angels to come in. And these people aren’t looking to build a career, they just want something to hold and say they are actresses to further their business.

    “There are many daughters of Jezebel in Nollywood. They can do anything just to be in front of the camera. And when you meet a character that isn’t properly formed as a producer or director, you will fall. There are daughters of Jezebel looking for movie producers and directors to fall.”
