I so dislike him when he appeared in Carcas (naija anaconda), and one silly copycat movie with Kate Henshew....

These guys refuse to be creative, now seeking for ban.....

There are just people who constantly pull us back... Now what is the meaning of this? Most of us watch movies to learn new things and watching only domestic or local movies won't develop one's mind.
In Nigeria once some people make it (mostly the stupid one's) they just want the rest to remain myopic and keep pushing them up. Desmond Elliot is selfish and wicked if he really said this.

This man obviously isnt intelligent. We should ban foreign movies and watch all those useless low budget movies produced in Nigeria. Instead to improve on the use of quality shooting and improve on technological effects and good story lines, he is looking on banning movies that make my soul happy.
drinoayo:
Nollywood actor and director, Desmond Elliot, has called on the government to curtail the influx of foreign movies to help Nollywood grow, Igbere TV reports.

Elliot said this in an interview with HIP TV.

“Ban all foreign content, you know, make it difficult for foreign content to come in, so your own local content can grow and then, you need to support,” he said.

The Husbands of Lagos actor also said that the government needed to create an enabling environment for the entertainment business to thrive.

Desmond Elliot has starred in over 250 movies.

He was re-elected into the Lagos State House of Assembly on March 9.

He won best supporting actor in a drama at the 2013 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.

He was also nominated for best-supporting actor at the 10th Africa Movie Academy Awards.

To think this OLODO is even a lawmaker makes me more irritated..
Why not ban EPL, LA LIGA and other foreign leagues and everyone focus on NPFL so Nigerian league will grow, or better still ban CNN and AL JAZEERA, BBC and other foreign news channel so NTA will grow
He commissioned blocks of toilet the last time, and I said ok,maybe it’s a mistake ,

Nollywood should first screen its producers and improve the quality of movie scripts and productions, not talking about removing competition. This country is just so lopsided, that is why every big distributor will try to poach the government to create a kind of monopoly for them. If you go to many developed countries, every player is provided a fair ground to compete and that is why the quality of things done in those places is of very high standard. Is it the Nollywood movie that has part 1 to part 12 of 30 scenes that will now be competing with foreign blockbuster movies? Abeg Desmond go and sit down small.
