Nollywood Actor and Producer, Kanayo O Kanayo has raised alarm that new generation producers as well as YouTube are killing the Creative Industry.
Known as Mr Sacrifice, Mr Kanayo wondered how and why producers could belabour actors and actress to shoot a movie of 30 scenes in a day just to get YouTube viewership.
“People make a mockery of Nollywood today . This is not the Nollywood we suffered and built .YouTube will not last long in Nigeria , everyone is abusing it.
“Why the hurry? People taking a day to act 30 scenes just because they want to finish and go to the next? Everyone is creating their own YouTube channel Actors have stopped acting, everyone just wants to have their channel and make money,” he said
Why lamenting that such practice deprives the Industry of genuine creatives stories, the legal practitioner stressed that the unprofessional conduct have health implications and advised the practitioners to always prioritize their health above their career.
“No genuine stories, everything seems boring and done in a haste. I’ve been acting for 35 years and still strong. Do you consider the consequences of doing 30 scenes in a day? When you fall sick there will still be YouTube. Why are Nigerians abusing it?,” The veteran concluded.
