NOLLYWOOD, NOLLYWOOD, WHA ARE THEY UP TO?, OR IS IT IGNORANCE?
The nollywood artists entertain to make people happy, educate and promote our culture, they ought to be an ambassador of grace and showcase the correct information about people, profession, society, groups etc. but it is not the case when they are showcasing nurses in their films, home videos and soap operas, they choose to represent Nigerian professional nurses with quack's activities in the private hospitals.
Those... people they show their activities were trained by their employers - Drs, they can be proficient in what they are thought or otherwise, but they can never be a Nurse neither should they be called a Nurse but auxiliary Drs. Using them to represent a noble, heavenly and internationally recognized profession like Nursing shows their level of ignorance, does it mean their wives and children are been attended to all thru their lives by quacks, or are they ignorant of good standard and professionally sophisticated hospitals home and abroad, i used to think they are the most exposed, but when i ponder on their activities, alas!, they lack adequate knowledge in medicine and what transpires in the hospital, it is better nollywood artists stop writing hospital scripts or act hospital based films with so much display of ignorance that may inspire hatred among viewers, they should seek knowledge from professionals if they must, this will make their work locally and internationally sellable.
As it is now they will be a laughing stock among enlightened people all over the world whenever they are viewing their work, they need to learn and improve their knowledge on hospital activities and professionals that works in the hospital or else they might face litigation for their misreprentation of Nurses activities in their films, videos, soap operas and stage plays.
NURSES ARE GREAT PEOPLE, NOLLYWOOD ARTIST SHOULD LEARN ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES OF PROFESSIONAL NURSES, STOP SHOWING QUACK ACTIVITIES AS NURSES ACTIVITIES.
