Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi condemns the Nollywood industry for making actors repeat roles in different movies.
According to Bisi, the reason why we think some Nigerian actors can act is because they play the same role ‘over and over again’.
“ The only reason we think some Nigerian actors can act is simply because all their
acting life, they played the same role over and over again.
Try to give them a role that doesn’t come naturally; they start fighting with their character and find it hard to interpret. This is why the likes of Shola Shobowale will
continue to be the icon of Nigeria film industry.” he said.
Bisi Alimi has advised that actors be given different roles to challenge and test their acting skills.
The gay rights activist also condemned the Nigerian movies shown on Netflix for poor production quality and accused them of being more concerned about making money rather than ‘creativity and great job’.
