One particular marketer who attested to this is Abdusallam, Ghana’s most prominent movie marketer. Abdusallam, we learnt tells Nollywood producers to use Ghanaians and get a N1 million market order from him. He was said to have paid some producers even before they finish shooting sometimes.

londoner:

lol, The Amaka, didn't you know that ALL Ghanaian royalty had petals thrown at their feet. Who says its unrealistic, lol? I actually prefer the GH movies with their more unknown actors,  they are quite realistic.

THE AMAKA:

i still have some theories about why they use ghanaian actors but i will come and comment on that later. . .
i don't buy it, cause there is no credible source.
anyway ghanaian movies are so annoying,no culture,  washed out, and fake.
if its nigerian movies now characters can have names like chioma, emeka, ect ect (most of the time) but in gollywood ive never heard of one name that is ghanaian all these english names and crap. like someone else pointed out in another thread, you almost never see them eating traditional food, the accents are atrocious, that industry is biased cause almost everyone looks like van and nadia, where are the more jackie look-a-likes?  have you ever watched their "royal" movies?? ARG!!! it seems so damn fake!! i dont understand this cause ghana has culture to work with to make their movies more realistic. is it just me or does everything seem like some fake movie ripped out of a wanna be "Coming To America" or something. or is that how their culture works? too fake, they're crap.
but there is no credible source so this is all bull.

but at the end of the day you have ghanaians running into our movies so its only benefiting us, not them

It?s true. Ghana movies are preferred over Nollywood mess. And whose fault is that? If Nollywood gives up on getting their act together and instead governs the wardrobe of actors, it is bound to lose something somewhere. Nollywood sells anything irrespective of the myriad of flaws. The sound is sinful. The picture is horrendous. The lighting is atrocious. The directing and editing are repulsive. The story lines are reprehensible. It would take forever to elaborate on these, but I trust you get the point. The million Naira flap is a smokescreen. Ghana does not give US such conditions, yet Hollywood movies are top sale in Ghana. Same goes for other movie capitals. This condition can only be given to Nollywood because they know that Nollywood peddles inferior commodity. If Nollywood products were top notch, the world would break down door to get it. Ghana would pay us to use their actors. Even when the authorities ban them, the citizenry would smuggle then in.

Princek12:

With your bias, unsupported statements, it is evident you are Ghanaian, and your statements have overtones of envy. Please adduce some credible evidence to support your jagbajantis (those of you who know this word know what i'am talking about) assertions. If Ghollygold is supposedly that successful, why do all your Ghanaian actors run to Nollywood just to make a buck. Moreso, it should be a shame on your Ghollygold industry if you have to pay to feature a Ghanaian actor. Who else but Ghanains will pay producers just to have their actors featured in their movies. Shouldn't it be the other way around.

You have posted a story based on your imagination and delusion, like people on this website are some idiots. Show some mutha f'ing evidence. Sharap, Abeg.

londoner:

@ Sisikill, your point would be valid if these Ghanaian actors could actually act.

Sorry, but you only need see Van act with Gen to see he is waaay outclassed in the acting department and its actually hype about his looks really which sells his movies.

Sorry, thats the truth. This hype will end also. Nigerians are using these cross over actors to have a share in both markets, end of.

davidylan:

hah! Here i was thinking i was the only one who thought this dude couldnt act to save his life. I deliberately go out of my way to avoid movies where Ghanaians act because of how poor the movie ends up.
