BEVERLY HILLS, March 01, (THEWILL) – Nollywod actor, Jide Kene Achufusi (Swanky JKA), has revealed the personal problem he has with Nigeria’s movie community, Nollywood.
Speaking with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Rubbin’ Minds, the actor disclosed that among the numerous issues of working in Nollywood, the constant stereotyping of the profession happened to be top on his list.
He said: “The biggest problem I have with Nollywood right now is stereotyping. If it is Ghetto movies that are going on right now, everybody will go into Ghetto movies. If it is love and comedy, let’s go! We don’t really have a plan, we have a structure. It is all about the money.
“So, if I had come to Lagos before the time I did, I would probably have done more roles well and everybody else will put me in that kind of role and that usually is the case when we look at those veteran actors. We usually do not have anybody who has done a lot of things.”
