Nigerian actor, Yul Edochie is dissatisfied with the to the state of Nollywood. On his Twitter page, he lamented on the poor quality of the Nigerian film industry.
According to him, the quality of home videos has dropped badly as a lot of ‘wack’ actors, actresses and directors have dominated the film industry.
The actor cum politician, who also acknowledged the good works of qualified actors, urged them to work harder to ensure Nollywood maintains its global standard.
He wrote:
“The quality of our home videos has dropped so much. Lots of crappy actors/actresses, crappy directors.
We can’t continue like this.To all seasoned Nollywood practitioners, please, let’s revive it. People love our content all over the world. We just need to step up the quality.
Don’t get me wrong my people. We have many dedicated Executive producers, producers, directors, actors and other crew members who are doing great jobs.
At the same time we have some who are messing up our efforts with their ‘shoot it like that’ attitude.
It has to stop.”
Yul Edochie is the son of seasoned veteran actor Pete Edochie, known for his lead role as Okonkwo in an NTA adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s best-selling novel, “Things Fall Apart”.
