Nigerians were jolted by the news that Nollywood couple, Patrick and Ireti Doyle, may have called it quits with their marriage.When the news surfaced online in 2017, the couple neither confirm nor deny the news
In a new development, ace broadcaster, Patrick Doyle decline commenting over the union hitting the rocks.
The veteran journalist who was a guest on Plus TV Africa noted that whatever is related to his family is personal.
“It is beneath you to ask me questions about that on this show. My personal life should not be talked about. Anyone who talks about his personal life must be a very inadequate person. That is why it’s called personal, if it wasn’t personal it would have been called public .My public life is the work that I do, I interface with the public through my work. People who talk about their personal lives have no respect for their families”.
Speaking further, Doyle revealed that Nollywood has done well and it’s set to blossom.
“Nollywood is in a beautiful place right now, It’s in a wonderful place .It’s set to blossom, For a long time Nollywood was all about Idumota, Epinpejo and all of that. It’s moved on right now. Thankfully with the theatrical releases, It has upped the ante and the production values are much better. The introduction of young Nigerians who studied film-making and now back in Nigeria, has added to the growth of Nollywood. The problem with Nollywood now is that the stories are not authentically African”, he said on the show.
The actor also has some words of advice for young people who desire to get married to the one they love, but are being limited by blood genotype.
He said:”By all means check your genotype but if you are in love with someone whose genotype is not compatible with yours, please go ahead and marry that person. There is technology now that can eliminate the possibility of transmitting sickle cell to your children. I wasn’t that lucky it didn’t exist in my time. Genotype should not stand in the way of love”, he said.
