Blaming Nollywood won’t fix broken society — Charles Inojie

Famous actor, Charles Inojie, has stated that the Nigeria film industry should not be held responsible for the ills in the society.

Inojie, who stated this during an interview with Saturday Beat, emphasized the need for parents to instill family values in the younger generations by reorienting them that quick fixes mostly end in catastrophe.

He said societal ills such as ritual killing, spiritual fortification, internet fraud and organ harvesting are being exposed in Nollywood films and not being created by the industry.

While reacting to the criticism faced by the industry, the actor stated: “Can we in good faith say that all Nollywood movies are draw from ritual themes?

“The fact that those stories exist is an indication of the fact that ritual killings for spiritual fortification, for political power, for money making and organ harvesting exist in our society.

“So, we should applaud those movies for their expository qualities, instead of condemning them. Have you not heard of pastors burying human bodies under their pulpits for spiritual powers, or highly influential men hiding under the cover of night to sleep with mad women for ritual purposes? How come when it is being addressed in movies, it automatically receive criticisms from the public?

“We have seen parents giving their under aged and unemployed wards a rousing reception to celebrate their return home with cars without asking how they got it. Nollywood did not create any of that. We should return to instilling family values, and start to reorient the younger generation to understand the true meaning of dignity in labour and teach our kids to know that quick fixes often end in catastrophe. Nollywood is not our problem.”
