Yul Edochie has replied after Reno Omokri blamed Nollywood for misrepresenting Nigeria with the messages portrayed in our movies.
Reno condemned Nollywood for always depicting Nigeria as a place where a lot of fetish things happen.
Reno said foreigners are wary of Nigerians because “Nollywood has conditioned them to see all Nigerians as fetish juju people.”
He concluded: “I sometimes wonder if Nollywood is an appropriate name for the Nigerian movie industry. Perhaps Jujuwood would be a more fitting name. No other institution has been as responsible for the stereotyping of Nigerians as diabolical people as Nollywood!”
Reacting to Reno’s claim, Yul Edochie wrote: “Past leaders failed to fix the country, you all turn around to blame Nollywood for it. All the gun violence movies you watch from America has it stopped you from applying for American visa, neither have the kung fu movies stopped you from going to China. It’s all entertainment.”
He added: “Past leaders failed to fix the country, you all turn around to blame Nollywood for it. All the gun violence movies you watch from America has it stopped you from applying for American visa, neither have the kung fu movies stopped you from going to China. It’s all entertainment.”
