Veteran actor and former president, Association of Movie Producers (AMP), Paul Obazele has opened up on the challenges besetting Nollywood. Speaking with The Sun, he said those who don’t mean well for Nollywood get involved because of their selfish reasons.
Hear him:” Nollywood is a family. Even twins quarrel and they come round it. Everything must go a full course. Siblings clash but what makes it dangerous is when outsiders get involved. The moment you get involved, there is every tendency that you take side with one person, it aggravates such anger and that is what is happening to Nollywood. Those who do not mean well for Nollywood get involved and mess it up because of their selfish interest. As long as Nollywood remains divided, they make money from it. I tell my colleagues with all sense of responsibility and fear of God, ‘don’t take this out’. It is like a marriage between a husband and his wife. If they quarrel, they will settle. The moment a third person comes in, it escalates.
“Why would I go for example to post my marital stuff on the Internet? Why should I offend Chico (Ejiro) and go and post it on a platform? Ibinabo (Fiberesima) has issues. The people she leads have the right to caution her and it ends there in a meeting. It is resolved. That is why we have disciplinary committee in associations and organisations”.
