Nollywood actor cum politician, Desmond Elliot has called for the ban of foreign movies in Nigeria to enable the growth of the Nigerian Movie Industry in a recent interview with HIPTV.

Controversial OAP, Daddy Freeze disagrees with Desmond Elliot for calling for the ban of foreign movies in Nigeria to enable the growth of the Nigerian Movie Industry. He wrote;

Dear Brother Desmond,
I love you, but I’m not with you on this.
-
I should be able to choose what I want to watch if I’m paying for it, shouldn’t I?
-
Why don’t you strive to raise Nollywood to Hollywood standards and then people will gravitate towards Nollywood naturally?

No wonder they said: "Just because you have beards doesn't mean you're matured, Even Goat have beards too but they still do Meeeeehnn! Meeeehnnnn!!!!"

i been no know say freeze get sense like this o

Desmond is very shallow-minded.Banning foreign movies wouldn't in anyway enable the growth of the nollywood movies because such measure doesn't tackle the myriad of problems bedevilling the Nollywood industry.It all boils down to worrisome complacency and indolence on the part of the producers which translate to their production of sub-par movies which are grossly bereft of substance.That explains why most Nigerian movies have same predictable and humdrum storylines.
Another problem is poor selection of casts in movies.Producers put minimal effort into selecting their casts.That explains the lack of diversity in casts in Nigerian movies.You can watch 10 nigerian movies with basically same casts.That alone makes the movies listless and boring.Movie roles are also not appropriated based on merit and competence of the actors or actresses but on sexual relationships with the producers.This problem is prevalent in our movie industry and it is seriously stifling the growth of nollywood.
Moreover,why should Desmond Elliot call for the ban of foreign movies despite the indispensable amount of revenue accruable to the government from the cinemas which Nigerians frequent to view foreign movies?

The highest grossing movie in Nigeria currently is avengers endgame with over 1.2 billion naira as of writing this, while the second highest grossing movie is black panther with close to 1 Billion in naira, with star wars force awakans, avatar, batman vs superman and many more in the hundreds of millions range in the country, I say Desmond is a big idiot for ever saying foreign movies should be removed from the country, I can't even believe an educated man like him will say such nonsense, what a joke of a man

Nice one from Daddy Freeze.

Freeze is right. Ban ko, banner ni. Nonsense nollywood with their repetitive and predictable story lines.
Ban na. With Netflix and YouTube who send una.

I get time for nollywood? Mschewww! Na when my head never correct I dey go rent movies from video clubs years back. Now I know better that nollywood movies are a waste of my precious time.

You act a movie, they split it into three parts part 2 will be half of part one repeated same for part 3. Rubbish and nonsense!

For the very first time ever, i agree with Freeze. If Nollywood is that good, you won't need to ban Hollywood movies. Inferior humans feeling intimidated.

Desmond Idiot nor get sense


Very soon this senators will want to relegate us to be watching only Nigeria football leagues, when they nor wan upgrade the country.



Nigeria is moving from bad to worst each passing day.
