It\u2019s really eating into the industry\u2026what it means is that we are facing challenges and so now, we need to do something that will make our people come back to us. You can\u2019t force them because it\u2019s a market; everybody goes for what they want. We need to also find out why they have thrown our own away,\u2019\u2019 she said. <\/p>\n<p>The Nollywood movie legend continued; \u2018\u2018one thing I have personally observed is that these telenovelas are telling serial stories. If you watch it, you would want to watch the next episode so people are usually eager to watch what will eventually happen to this character.  So if that\u2019s what people want, we start doing it for them. We need to tell serious-minded stories\u2026they (telenovela characters) don\u2019t act well. Their costuming is even wrong. What they criticize us for is exactly what they are doing. So why are people dropping us and watching what they are criticizing? For example, you can see someone who goes to bed fully made up and in a flashy dress and wakes up and still runs around with that. It makes me wonder why people are not talking about that. That means people are not watching those things; they are actually only interested in the storyline.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Patience Ozokwor fondly called \u2018Mama G\u2019 concluded by encouraging Ghanaian movie producers to keep doing their best.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I want to encourage Ghanaians to keep doing what they are doing \u2026those who love our movies will keep buying them,\u2019 she said. <\/p>\n<p>Evangelist Patience Ozokwor was in Ghana for a conference at the Precious Seed Chapel in Tema.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 57 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 10 October 2017 Source: Pamela Boateng 2017-10-10 Actress Patience Ozorkwor &#13; Veteran Nollywood actress now turned evangelist, Patience Ozokwor has waded in the ongoing conversation on the influx of Telenovelas on Ghanaian screens.
