Popular actor, Ali Nuhu has revealed reasons why entertainment is not embraced in the northern part of Nigeria. The actor said the proposed film village in Kano state was rejected because many clerics didn’t understand the idea behind it. Recall that the Nigerian government had announced plans to establish a N3 billion world-class film village in the state but it was frowned at by northern clerics
Speaking in a chat with Pulseng, Nuhu stated that entertainment has limitations in the north because “some people have reservations”.
Hear him: “For anything to be in existence in a society, the people living in the society must accept it .I must say that entertainment in the North is still not accepted the way it should be, like it is accepted everywhere else in the globe, because some people have their reservations.
“When the issue of the film village came up, a lot of the clergymen were against it because they didn’t even understand what the whole idea behind a film village is, and they revolted.
“In Northern Nigeria, most of the things that come, people don’t easily accept because of the culture and the religion of the people of the north. I think that’s what is responsible for all these.”
