If Nollywood was strictly about talent, Someone Like Me Should Be Far Beyond Where I Am Now — Actor Tayo faniran
Nollywood Actor Tayo Faniran has alleged that politics, favouritism and rigging are affecting the Nigerian film industry, claiming that talent alone does not determine how far people go in Nollywood.
Speaking on TVC Entertainment News, Faniran compared the situation in Nollywood to the political challenges Nigerians face in the country, saying the industry experiences an even worse version of it.
“When you talk about the politics of our country, like government and all of that, and what we are complaining about today as citizens, in Nollywood we’re facing times ten of that,” he said.
The actor further suggested that his career would have progressed much further if Nollywood operated strictly on talent.
“Someone like me, if Nollywood were to be strictly about talent, I should be far beyond where I am now,” Faniran stated.
He also alleged that there is widespread rigging within the industry, arguing that some of the biggest names are not necessarily the most talented.
“Another thing is that there’s a lot of rigging going on. In the industry right now, the film producers that you guys see and you know as the biggest are not the most talented film producers. Same with director, same with actor. Awards are rigged too,” he said.
