The veteran actor, however, said everybody is welcome to join the movie industry but added that they should make sure they’ve “calling for acting.”

In his words; “Nollywood should not be a ground for BBL; bum bum enlargement. Nollywood should not be a ground for people doing runs. Nollywood should not be a ground where people’s dollars are stolen in hotels. All these Nollywood girls, it is not a ground for gay or lesbianism.

“It is a ground for creativity. Nollywood is not a ground for learning how to act. Many people come to Nollywood to learn how to act. You are supposed to come to the industry to better and hone your talent. Many girls after hearing Genevieve [Nnaji] is a millionaire, Omotola [Akande] is a billionaire, would go and borrow wigs and come [to the movie industry] deceiving themselves.
