Actor, Deyemi Okanlawon has taken to Instagram to relieve his profound gratitude to two supportive fans, @iamjoyessien and @l444nnu, for their role in promoting anti-piracy awareness in the Nollywood industry.
A remarkable sequence of events unfolded when @iamjoyessien considered watching a pirated copy of Deyemi’s film due to financial constraints.
However, @l444nnu intervened, generously gifting complimentary tickets to five individuals, thereby discouraging piracy.
Deyemi Okanlawon’s Appreciation Post:
“Nollywood producers, especially newbies like myself and my wonderful partners at @bleedingartproduction who try to tell global-level stories, get next to no support from government, financial institutions (forget all that creative industry fund matter), or even industry players, and we end up spending all we have to produce these films. Yet it seems the same Nigerians we love to serve have no idea how much damage and loss their participation in piracy causes our industry.
“@iamjoyessien, thank you for understanding and learning, and @l444nnu, thank you so much for your kindness, love, and support; you have no idea how much you’ve renewed my hope in our people! I am forever grateful!”.
