It shall not stand neither shall it come to pass...if Government want to ban foreign movie, they should also ban schooling abroad so that our educational sector can develop as well. Not only that, medical sector.

I wonder how this guy got to house of rep with this myopic and archaic reasoning, you don't want competition but you want to grow.

I rather put my television off than to watch Nollywood movies.


Akiika:
How about you and others in the industry up your game to compete? Most of Nollywood so called actors aren't professionals, y'all just delved into it as the only alternative to unemployment. Did the foreign music hinder the development of the Naija artistes?

This man is a fool, an idiot with a capital letter, in fact a mad man.

How can you ban foreign movies which is the only thing interesting to watch and urge us to watch a film you guys who never attended the right institutions to create them developed.


Using actors who never had anything to offer than a pile load of shit.

Thought I respected you but I was utterly wrong.

Desmond idiot

Nollywood actor and director, Desmond Elliot, has called on the government to curtail the influx of foreign movies to help Nollywood grow, Igbere TV reports.

Elliot said this in an interview with HIP TV.

“Ban all foreign content, you know, make it difficult for foreign content to come in, so your own local content can grow and then, you need to support,” he said.

The Husbands of Lagos actor also said that the government needed to create an enabling environment for the entertainment business to thrive.

Desmond Elliot has starred in over 250 movies.

That's the kind of idea you get when you vote in dullards!!! The Nigerian music industry didn't blossom because foreign music was banned - they raised their game. Nollywood raise your game!!!

How about u reduce the rate at which u fvck every hot aspiring nollywood actress and focus more on making quality movies. The Nigerian music industry is a force to reckon with due to hard work, quality productions and its commercial content even in the midst of foreign music influx... Yeye man undecided
