Emeka Ike has slammed AGN president, Ibinabo
Fibreisima and other Nollywood big wigs for
allegedly pulling Nollywood down .He even listed
producers who sleep with actresses as a
prerequisite for offering them roles. Speaking to
Journalists at the 2nd edition of the City People’s
Political Award held recently in Lagos,Emeka who
wants to be AGN president said
”There are five people who have taken the laws
of Nigerian movie industry into their hands.
They are Emma Ogugua, Murphy Stephen,
Sunny McDon, Okey Bakassi and Ifeanyi Dikeh.
These five people registered Actors Guild of
Nigeria as their personal business. No other
individual can come in.”My first concern is to
clean up Nollywood, clean up AGN. Every
Nigerian youth want to act movies now, what
future are we leaving for them? Where are
they going to write their names?”….
“The two bedroom in Surulere where they
would ask you to come and grace their beds
before they give you roles? Where they would
make you join a gay group or lesbian group
before they talk to you?(Continue)
“Nollywood has gotten so bad that you must
either strip and grace their beds or join the gay
or lesbian group to belong.”
“The people at the helm of affairs are the ones
killing Nollywood. Some of us the well-known
actors don’t even know their rights. I dare say
it again, they don’t. Nobody can come out to
challenge me.”
“We built this industry with pain. Those who
are at the helm of affairs now, people don’t
even know them in the movies. They just came
in and messed everything up.”
“Ibinabo has been acting as the president of
AGN for years now, but with her case as an ex-
convict, do you have any moral justification to
recognize her as the president? The court case
is still on and the war continues.”
“That wasn’t the industry I founded. My
daughter will not to go into that industry
tomorrow and they would say she must sleep
with one of them to get a role. Neither would
my son be a part of Nollywood that is full of
immoralities.”
