A week ago, we saw this pic of Clarion Chukwura with Ibinabo Fiberesima and Teco Benson and we assumed that was well in Ibinabo/Clarion universe, but not quick people. According to Clarion, her difficulties with the AGN president still stands. She explained how a pic came to exist and her surprise at seeing it on the internet.

"When I got the award, I came and met my team, the Royal Arts Academy, and we all hugged and took pictures. As I was going back to my seat, Ibinabo got up and hugged me and beckoned the photographers to take our picture. As I stepped away, Rita Dominic also got up and hugged me and also asked the press photographers to take our pictures.

“When we got to the airport, Teco Benson came to me and said he wanted to minister to me and he also beckoned to her and she came close. I told Teco that I didn’t have anything against Ibinabo. This is an AGN issue. We should be real about the issue. The following day, somebody called me and told me about the picture. I was surprised,” Clarion tells Punch Nigeria

The beef between these two women is clearly not coming to an end anytime soon. About a week after Actors'Guild of Nigeria president Ibinabo Fiberesima issued a statement addressing the constant attack from actress Clarion Chukwura, saying she was only trying to destabilize AGN, Clarion is not relenting and has fired back. In a interview with Punch today, Clarion said Ibinabo is an ex-convict and therefore not fit to lead AGN.

“I am not on the same level with Ibinabo professionally, educationally or in any other form. I find that she is deliberately misleading the public and wanting to push the issues at stake under the table with her so-called open letter. I will not allow her to do that.

Veteran actress & mother of star director Clarence Peters spoke to Vanguard about her disappointment with today's Nollywood

   "It hasn’t improved at all. It is now a proverbial ‘ state’ that makes one to weep. Everything has fallen to a disgraceful state. No standards are left. I was on a location in Enugu last month and the production manager was insulting the director of photographer. I was shocked.

    The producer and the director were shouting at each other. I could not imagine it. The artistic director would just walk away and actors are not directed on what to do.  Any green horn could hit the set and believe that she could sleep her way to the top. She is pretty and sleeps with the Executive Producer. It’s just sickening. And they say to you, this movie is meant for the market and the cinema. It is not for film festival, just do it anyhow because this is for inside the market. That goes to show there are no standards. It is pathetic."
