“If care is not taking, the Nollywood industry might head to the rock. Why is this so? Some selfish stakeholders are bent on bringing us back. Today, we have men and women who are all partners, investors and stakeholders, but seventy percent of them are selfish and self-centered,” he revealed.

While counseling, he urged that everyone must gather together with one voice, and put a stop to the attitude of impossible and selfishness which according to him had consumed the industry to nothing. He added that they must all shun the mindset of personal interest, which in the past had led the industry to no higher status.

It is not a one man race, but a collective one. Nobody must make it better for us, except we agree to come together to share one vision of making the industry compete able with our other counterparts,” he said.
