Ngozi Nwosu, a veteran Nigerian film actress, has spoken out against the predictable nature of Nollywood films.
In an interview with Pulse, Ngozi discussed how many people who aren’t supposed to be producers are now making movies. According to her, many modern films are unrelatable because they are wishy-washy.
She claimed that many people have gotten lazy and refuse to conduct their due diligence before making movies because they are only interested in the money.
Ngozi Nwosu emphasized that the days of relating to Nollywood films are over, stating that everyone used to be conscious about how they represented themselves back then, but that things have changed.
The Skinny Girl in Transit actress emphasized that carefreeness is the order of the day. In her words:
“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”.
