Veteran Nigerian actress Ngozi Nwosu has expressed her concerns about the current state of Nollywood films in an interview with Pulse.
She notes that the industry has become saturated with inexperienced producers, leading to a lack of relatable and original storytelling.
Ngozi Nwosu believes that many filmmakers prioritize profit over quality, resulting in unengaging and unauthentic movies.
She reminisces about the past when Nollywood films were more thoughtful and representative, and laments the current carefree attitude that prioritizes shock value over substance. Nwosu’s comments highlight the challenges facing the Nollywood industry and the need for a return to more meaningful and engaging storytelling.
“A lot of people who are not supposed to be producers are now producers. Wishy-washy stories every day. There are some stories you read, and you know immediately this is from foreign movies. They are not relatable. People have become lazy. They don’t want to research again because they are after the money.
“We no longer relate as we used to anymore. We used to go to our fellow actors’ houses and drink water, but you can’t do that anymore because you don’t know who to trust. All leaves are lying down, but you don’t know the one with a stomach ache.
“People in our time were more careful with how they represented themselves, but now everybody does whatever they want. Today, if you like, be naked, no one cares”.
