Nigerians are attacking Desmond Elliott online after he called for a ban on foreign movies in Nigeria to enable the growth of the Nigerian Movie Industry.
According to Nollywood actor and politician, the Federal Government should make it difficult for foreign content to come into the country so that local content from Nigeria can grow.
The 45-year-old representing Surulere constituency at the Lagos State house of assembly said this in an interview with HIPTV, as he spoke on the current situation of the country’s Movie Industry.
“ I have an America friend who has never visits Nigeria, but she said she has a box load of Nollywood movies. She can even narrate the story of “Aki & Paw Paw, Mr. Ibu, Late Sam Loco and many others.” Guess what? She’s so amazed about the Africa/Nigerian culture.— E B I T U™ (@EbituPromise) July 23, 2019 ”Why not strive to raise Nollywood to Hollywood standards” – Daddy Freeze tells Desmond Elliot – YabaLeftOnline
