Debbie Shokoya cries out over unworthy Nollywood movies
Nollywood actress Debbie Shokoya has voiced her frustration with colleagues who release low-quality and subpar movies on YouTube.
Her concerns follow increasing criticism of Nollywood films, particularly Yoruba movies, featured on the platform.
In an Instagram post, the new mother expressed disappointment with filmmakers who focus solely on quantity over quality in their productions.
She highlighted the growing condemnation of Yoruba films and shared how she has personally witnessed the issues being raised. Debbie urged her fellow filmmakers to change the negative perception of the Yoruba film industry by ensuring every department in a production is allowed to do its job properly.
She emphasized the importance of each crew member performing their designated roles effectively for the success of a film.
“I Am Tired When I Hear People Say I Don’t Watch Yoruba Movies
At The End…I Get To See The Reason Behind That Statement!
Let’s Be Honest, It’s Not Their Fault
Please Let’s Change This Narrative
Allow Every Department Do Their Job!
You Can’t Do Everything Please
Don’t Be Pressured To Become A Storyteller If Your Strength Is In Acting Alone…
There Are People Whose Strength Is In This Line, Reach Out To Them
And Please, If You Are A Director (Please Direct!!)
That’s Why You Are On That Set…
How Come You Can’t Call Your Actors To Order When The Acting Isn’t It Or It’s Overdone?
Infact Some Comedy And Conversations In Some Movie Scenes Are Not Just Necessary And Been Prolonged…
This Is One Of The Job Of The Director To Know These Things And Correct Them!
It Is Your Direction, Please Do It Right
Please
We Can Do Better
Ejor”
