Nollywood is now a den of Yahoo boys and Prostitutes — Actor Yemi Solade

60-year-old Nollywood actor, Yemi solade has made a damming revelation about the Nigerian movie industry.

In a recent chat with Nigerian Tribune, he revealed that the gatekeepers of Nollywood have allowed unprofessionals to fill spaces meant for those who truly have the passion for the craft.

“The Nollywood is not there right now. The Nollywood you see now is all encompassing. It’s like an uncompleted building that is not guarded and what you meet there would amaze you. It has become an all comers affair, anybody can stroll in and act. All the Yahoo boy are now there, all the prostitutes that you can imagine are there.

People cannot even differentiate between the core professionals and these class of clowns who have infiltrated the association, but they didn’t just fly in, some people whom you refer to as core professionals brought them in.

It’s just so porous that anybody can become an actor, the entry point is so porous and annoying. It’s a profession and it must be handled and treated as one. I am not really pleased with the state of the industry. It’s a professional body and we must portray ourselves as one that has mastered the art and craft of the profession.” he said.

Most social media users are replying her tweets with videos of themselves twerking.

@18ktCock: Twerking has literally been around since the 90s, it’s not new and the whole shaking your bum dancing style descends from some traditional African dances I swear? I get what Ur saying to an extent, but bum shaking dancing been going on hundreds if not thousands of years

@YungTatum: Doesn’t really matter what I think but I agree. When it comes to actual dancing skills and moves…I would say twerking is at the bottom of the list…not much twerking in ballet I don’t think

@bluemiiints: Why this tweet sound like you really can’t twerk so your plan is to abolish it.

@matt_abstract_: “Mating call” intresting how you use animalistic terms to describe dancing made popular by Black women. You telling on yourself and it’s sad. Seek help.

@kaiserkerfer: I would very much appreciate it if my hypothetical significant other twerked

@GhMuscle_Lover: This tweet clearly makes me realise that a lotta of black people need to start reading up or taking African History and culture courses. We been twerking long before the pink-skins dropped on our continent.

@TweetOrSTFU: This is stupid, because only time twerking is not “attractive” is when blsck woman are doing it, anytime u got a white girl twerking to the beat, nobody is saying it’s not attractive… Foh

@speakmymind2020: Maybe in private but I definitely would NOT want my girl twerking in public or on social media. Not a classy look imo

@EyeDonyell: 1. You can definitely block all of the twerking, you do not have to look at.

2. You do need some type of skill to perform the said dance.

3. It is sexy and attractive in a lot of cases.

4. Men do find it attractive.

5. Have you ever rode a d*** before?

@VofDoom: [in hushed tones] And here we have a feral PickMe bird. They’re not exactly rare, having more in common with their cousins, the pigeon but fascinating to behold nonetheless.

HARK! She squacks in anger over a different bird’s mating call. Ironically, that’s THEIR mating call.
