The quadrant

I am sure you can't guess what I'm going to write about from the title.
Well its about four people in the nigerian entertainment industry- Gideon okeke, chiwetalu agu, Chioma chukwuka-akpotha and Tony one week.

I'm sure we've all heard about the call outs and fall outs. But for those of us who may not know what this is about, here's a brief summary:
Gideon Okeke a nollywood  actor, said  Chiwetalu Agu's habit of using some vulgar words repeatedly in his movies, is no longer ideal as children watch these movies.
Chioma Akpotha replied by calling Gideon disrespectful and new generation actors generally lacking of morals.
Chiwetalu Agu said he doesn't even know who Gideon Okeke is. (Funny)
Tony one week, took sides with Gideon Okeke and claimed to be shocked at Chioma's reply. Especially with Chioma being a mother.

And I say for the sake of our children, who can be exposed to these films, vulgar words should not be used in Nollywood films rated for general viewing.

Imagine watching a movie rated G with kids and then an actor uses an Igbo vulgar word. The child would want to know what the word means, especially when it's repeated a lot throughout the movie. How does one begin to explain that?

Mind you we are only talking about this because of how it affects our children not for trending gossips sake.
