Actor Clemson Cornell Agbogidi of Nollywood has described an incident he said happened while collaborating with seasoned actress Liz Benson on a film shoot.

The actor claims that Benson refused to proceed with the sequence because he was uncomfortable playing a native doctor.

Speaking about his expertise in the film industry, Agbogidi revealed that the seasoned actress was certain that a real native doctor had been brought to the set to perform with her.

“Liz Benson ran away and refused to act after what I did on set! She said they brought a real native doctor to act with her,” he said.

The actor also talked about old African religious customs, making the case that those who followed native faiths before to the arrival of Christianity shouldn’t always be seen as wicked.

He argued that African ancestors’ beliefs should be understood in the light of their historical background and that traditional worship existed prior to the arrival of Christianity.

“Before Christianity, our forefathers were there. Most of those who worshipped idols were not evil,” he added.

Social media users have responded to his remarks by talking about his acting skills and how he portrayed conventional characters.

Reacting to the claim, one user wrote, “He is really a great actor and he interprets his roles very well.” Another added, “Mummy Liz had to run for her life. 😁😁 Oh, great Nollywood world.”

Movie buffs, especially those who are familiar with both actors’ Nollywood roles, have continued to pay attention to the disclosure.
