 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring.

AWARDS SHOULDN'T BE ONLY MOTIVATION FOR CREARIVES- ACTOR JIDEKENE. (PHOTO).


 Awards shouldn’t be only motivation for creatives – Actor Jidekene


Nollywood actor Jidekene Achufusi has said awards should not be the only motivation for creatives.


He stated this in a recent interview while reacting to being snubbed by the organisers of the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards, AMVCA.


The host asked, “What do you think about the nominations for AMVCA? Where you a bit upset about the snub?”


Jidekene replied, “Well, experience teaches you that everytime there is always going to be a generational shift. Sometimes, the people who do these awards have targets. It could be, ‘Let’s make sure we bring on new people or let’s make sure the veterans know that we see them.’ It could also be, ‘Last year we went that way, this year let’s go this way.’ I don’t know what they think about when they make the selections that they make. But I do believe that collectively, there would always be news about whatever selections that they made.


“So my advice would be, it is a win win for everybody. Whatever your motivations are, it shouldn’t be limited to awards because at the end of the day, if you made good films or you are getting better roles than you did last year, you are winning. And our real focus is to feed the Nigerian film market. Not necessarily about who is where or who is not where.”
