Nollywood Is Feeding Nigerians RUBBISH, Claims Top Movie Director by honsaint(m): 7:36pm On May 31, 2016 |
Top movie director, Mildred Okwo has blasted the Nigerian film industry for feeding Nigerians with rubbish. She also accused the industry of being so stereotyped and of being responsible for putting itself in that position. Award-winning Okwo said in a series of tweets on Twitter that Nollywood has penchant for mediocre productions and also called out the stakeholders who are responsible for them. “Nollywood keeps feeding us this trash!” Okwo tweeted, adding, “[We are] using our own hand to perpetuate long held stereotypes. Think about it.” The director, who was massively applauded for her movie ‘The Meeting’, touched on areas involving stereotypes, especially how Nollywood depict native doctors as evil. “I do not ascribe to d theory that all African trad beliefs are bad simply cause a group of British people brainwashed some people years ago,” she said, adding, “There must be some that heal and advise. Our ancestors went to them for guidance before the British entered.” Okwo also gave nuggets to budding and established directors on how best to shoot a romantic scene, and more.

I have to agree with her. There is overly too much junk movies in the market. In between THE MEETING is a great piece of work. I respect this woman |

Nigerians are always ready to buy their rubbish in the search for entertainment so I don't blame them. If the demand for low budget eye sores was low then many of these directors would have run out of a job long ago. |
