Veteran actor, Funsho Adeolu, said the lack of standards in the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood, is responsible for the low quality of some of the films churned out.
Adeolu, in an interview with Saturday Punch, said:
“The only reason people don’t do the real thing is that there is no standard. Someone (an actress) recently stated that they don’t know anything about the Actors Guild of Nigeria. I don’t blame her though. But, it was a slap on her face because if one is in an industry and one does not know the people operating in the industry, that means the person is not really in the industry in the true sense of the world. It was not wrong of her to have said she didn’t know about AGN. However, she should have found out what it takes to be a member of the guild.”
Funsho Adeolu also noted that he will love to see more professionals in Nollywood.
He said: “I will like to see more professionals in the industry. If you are interested in acting or being behind the camera, you have to get the necessary training. It is not just about having an interest in it; you need to get formal training.
“One also needs to protect one’s name and brand. Some people are all about making money; while others are particular about maintaining a good name. Having a good name is better than any other thing. One should have a name that unborn generations would be proud of.”
On how he has been able to maintain relevance in the industry, Adeolu said:
“Perhaps, it’s because I am original. I have a serious passion for acting. I am not about money or fame. That is why I don’t like being called a celebrity. I prefer to be called an actor. A celebrity is a ‘diva’, while an actor is a thespian. A thespian understands that no matter what happens, the show must go on. A thespian is focused on getting the job done and he wants to impart knowledge. It is not just about showing his face in a movie.”

post is great. Thanks!
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get

I must say you have done a great job with this.
Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome. Superb
