Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Omoni Oboli, has strongly criticized Ghanaian television stations for broadcasting her movies without obtaining the required licenses.
Oboli, in a series of Instagram posts on Saturday evening, expressed her anger over the unauthorized airing of her films and blamed the Ghana National Film Authority for failing to address the situation.
She did not mince words, warning the TV stations involved that she would take legal action against them.
“I love my Ghanaian besties, colleagues, and friends, but you see those TV stations in Ghana, I’m coming for you! The guts to show my movies without licensing! If dem no arrest one of una, you won’t learn! Watch out! Coming for every one of you!” she wrote.
Oboli, known for her dedication to her craft, emphasized the hard work and sleepless nights that go into making her films. She stressed that intellectual property theft must not be tolerated.
“You have no idea how much work goes into these projects. The sleepless nights I have! I’m coming for it all! You will pay for every one of my movies you have shown without permission! In 2025, you don’t understand that’s IP theft?!!!
“Maybe you don’t have a television authority in Ghana, but that is not my concern! Coming for you all! Clowns! Thanks to my Ghanaian besties for always sending me screenshots,” she added.
