Actor and movie producer Femi Ogedengbe who welcomed a set of twins with his wife in May and named them Nollywood and Hollywood is still talking about why he chose the names for his son and daughter. Speaking with Encomium magazine this week, Femi explains;
"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"

Mr Ogedengbe don't mind those who condemned your twins naming Hollywood and Nollywood but when Yankee's named their pikin BLUE IVY and NORTH WEST them go dey like!
@Linda, the man in question is anything but lanky as you described him.

Nmtchew abeg enough of this man and his stories that touch the heart
No mind bad belle people my brother. I even now appreciate the names more, therefore may they grow in wisdom and knowledge..Amen!!

No mind bad belle people my brother. I even now appreciate the names more, therefore may they gromw in wisdom and knowledge..Amen
Hehehe.. This guy. U sef rest nah..
She's hit the nail on the head.
Excatly! That's what he want, to come with money, but too bad, it didn't, My beautiful aunty linda, yesterday was a good day for the children of late, EMMANUEL ODUMoSU, alias Jesu oyingbo, there was a case for almost 16yrs, over his properties in barclays and Nigeria, as to who will continue to manage it, but thank God, the court has handed over all the property to UBA BANk, as the administrators to take charge of all his property, the children were jubilating, after the judge announced that the all his house should be sealed off and eject all the tenants from the houses both maryland, Mile 12, Ijebu Ode and all other places, and UBA should take over the property.
If u like name dem sheet&mess who cares?Linda enuf of this jare
############GOD punish#########################devil
My guy nothing do, carry go!! They're your kids and your wife signed up to it.
May God bless u with another set of twins, this time it should be Iran and Iraq.
Why is dis Femi guy seeking for so much attention abeg? They r ur kids and u have given dem names that seems ok by u. Why are u disturbing us with unnecessay explanations abeg? Ogbeni get off d radar and stop disturbing us with ur notice me or I die attitude jare!
This is the first time I'm commenting on this story since it broke out. I wonder what this guy thinks he's doing. Mr man you are not even popular in Nollywood , so I don't know what your problem is. So because coming to the USA changed my life my child should be named America? Do you even know what you have exposed these babies to? May God forgive you o. Linda please stop bringing up is story here. Let him be with his stupidity.
Seriously this guy is crazy
E don do nah.. u shld knw pple ar free yo express demselves.. dnt take it personal. . Haba.. seems lyk d tin dey pain u.. u shld expect tins lyk dis dats y ur a celebrity. .
Chai!!!!
Some people don't take criticism lightly sha. The poor guy is still heartbroken and I'd trying to cover up by using defence mechanism approach.
Dude, you don't owe anyone an explanation for naming your kids whatever!
After all, It's better than those that were christened Njoku, Ekpo, etc
Wow Congrats. Linda if u did not post my comment I ll knw u really haith me,
Linda na only u dey give dis man attention o!
On a first account, that brother is not lanky. Unless I skipped the class in English Language where my teacher defined lanky as what we have here. Secondly, it is just dumb to give one's kids bland and petty names such as Nollywood and Hollywood. He was born and bred in "the slum of Mushin", why didn't his parents christen him Oluwamushin? Oh, or say his father was a hunter, he could have simply named him 'Ekute' or 'Omo Ode'. Names play an important role in making a child what he/she becomes tomorrow. Take Bill Gates. . . He's got too much paper bills. This is a desperate cry for attention and it pricks my heart that he shows no remorse for it. Pitiful.
Are u serious naming children cause ur grateful to a job, dat makes no sence. The name sounds lame too, I probably would change my name asp
who really cares?
feel free to name your next child "bollywood"
Baybee
Madness
Good for u
Linda, to be lanky means to be painfully thin. You have joined the bandwagon of Nigerians who have Nigerianised the English language with meanings only known to them... Back to the matter, Femi Ogedengbe can name his children whatever name he chooses, only issue is the embarrassment the children will endure when they grow up especially when school mates taut them.
These are wrong names:
nollywood characterised by cheating,divorce & lack of decency same goes for hollywood, u had better change the names of the babies,God bless u as u do.
Dis man again !!!
#GIFTEDhands
Oga Ogedengbe Ok oh! We have noticed u! E don do joor! Quit trying to gain cheap publicity but trust me u have gotten it already but witout money shaa! The guilty ones r always afraid nd perpetually trying to defend themselves! Its ok Papa Nolly & Holly!
#GozManuel Says#
Am tired of readin sh*ts abt dis man jare. We av 4gtn abt dat already, why dnt u wana stay off d grid?
Ok we don hear baba nollywood and hollywood!
Whatever nigga, they are still stupid names to give to children!
Well,...it is well
Phewwwwwwww, you for name them akin and pawpaw who cares? Na you born your things. I don't know how those meaningless names will ever glorify God's name for this great gift to you. Motherhen
am tired of this story joor
Live your life jawe....no mind dem
Mtcheeeeew!!.....,nobody cares jawe
omg! has this guy not had enuf!
The truth is dat its not a nice thing to named ur kids hollywood and nollywood. Why wat have come over you don't u know that names create a live nature and atmosphear for ones life.
Some parents sha, just think of themselves alone, not evn the future of d twins. ..how will dey feel wen dey grow up and realise why u named dem such....
sorry for u. wait until ur girls are grown. :| .
forget dem,we hear
Are we still on this? thats his own business o
No disrespect,its madness...really wanna show appreciation? Name ur Babies GOD!! That's hu I think u should be grateful to...smh
Yes and the names sounds as stupid as yours. I mean what is kween? What of kiwi? Yeye de smell
Name them Nigerian movie, mexican movie, clinic matters or tinsel 4 all I care but pls stop disturbing us and get busy#bbmsadface#
pls no one actually cares what you call your children in as much as we are happy about the wonderful gift from God, if you like you can call your children boko haram, that's your cup of tea. Please we need to read more interesting stories, definitely not about you and your odd names because stories about you are boring, so spare us this space you cover for a breath of fresh air.
Linda, define "lanky."
Can't u see its an hospital in d second pics Yeye fowl
Lanky means thin and tall in an unattractive way.
Femi u are d biggest fool of the year. Who cares aboutt ur fucking background. Naming ur kids those stupid names does not make u a celebrity for u to be proud of ur hungry background. Ode
Lol, sadly it did not come with money..... I love this guy.
XDON D DON
I don't care!
This guy na wa for u. U talk too much, can a wmn cope with this kind of a person, see his munshi eyes self. Pscheew, I can't stand a talkative. Shut ur trash already! U suck!!
