Sunday, December 22, 2024 - Bright Okpocha, the popular Nigerian comedian and filmmaker, who is also known as Basketmouth, has accused some of his colleagues of not showcasing Nigeria’s rich culture in their movies.
The movie star alleged that most of the epic movies released recently do
not promote the country’s culture.
In an interview with Hip TV, Basketmouth claimed that the filmmakers
wasted opportunities to showcase Nigeria’s culture positively.
He said, “I believe that we still have
the opportunity to get it right. But we had a great opportunity to showcase our
culture and most of the filmmakers blew it up. They just ruined that great
chance because I see epic movies and they look like stage plays.
“When I was seeing most of the epic movies, I was disappointed.
“You guys blew up a great opportunity but let’s hope we still have another
chance to strike at it.
“I’m sorry, only very few movies have impressed me so far. I believe that we
can do more.”
