“This is why Nollywood is where it is today” – Destiny Etiko bashed for stating why some junior colleagues may never be A-listers

While addressing the fight Zubby Michael had with a junior colleague, Nollywood actress, Destiny Etiko ruffles some feathers while giving conditions that will never make younger colleagues attain greater heights in the movie industry.

This comes following a fight between the notable actor, Zubby Michael and a junior colleague, 042 Prince on the movie set.

The actress took to her Instagram page to share advice on the need to respect hierarchy in the movie industry.

According to Destiny Etiko, success in the Nollywood industry may never be achieved by junior colleagues who defy the authorities of their senior ones.

“It’s takes alot to be an A list superstar. RESPECT YOUR SENIOR COLLEAGUES. Claiming to be what you are not won’t take u anywhere A word is enough for the wise. Keep disrespecting and u will never get to their position✌️. How u dress your bed 🛌. So shall u sleep on it 🫡,” she wrote.

While many agreed with her, others argued otherwise; ridiculing her point of view as the godfatherism mindset that is ruining the industry.

“This your statement is why Nollywood is where it’s today! There should be no senority in the industry! Allow people to grow based on their skill and expertise regardless of whether they respect imaginary seniors or not! The audience are not asking for seniority, they are asking for talent! Bring in talents!” a user wrote in reaction.
