Nigerian movie industry now full of Yahoo boys, prostitutes– Yemi Solade
Nigerian veteran actor, Yemi Solade has spoken up on the present state of things in the Nigerian movie industry.
According to an interview with The Tribune, Yemi Solade said the movie industry has become a Yahoo boys and prostitutes zone.
He said the Nollywood viewers see is not the same anymore as it has become an all-comers affair, where anybody can stroll in and act.
In his words;
It’s like an uncompleted building that is not guarded and what you meet there would amaze you. It has become an all-comers affair, anybody can stroll in and act. All the Yahoo boy are now there, all the prostitutes that you can imagine are there.
People cannot even differentiate between the core professionals and these class of clowns who have infiltrated the association, but they didn’t just fly in, some people whom you refer to as core professionals brought them in.
It’s just so porous that anybody can become an actor, the entry point is so porous and annoying. It’s a profession and it must be handled and treated as one.
I am not really pleased with the state of the industry. It’s a professional body and we must portray ourselves as one that has mastered the art and craft of the profession.
