Nollywood should not be a place where individuals\u2019 money is stolen in hotels,\u201d he passionately stated.<\/p>\n<p>He further stressed the need for the industry to distance itself from controversies, such as allegations of certain individuals engaging in activities that do not align with Nollywood\u2019s core values.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these Nollywood-related issues, such as some individuals engaging in gay or lesbian activities, should not be associated with the industry,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Kanayo O. Kanayo underscored Nollywood\u2019s role as a platform for nurturing creativity and talent, dispelling the notion that it is a place for novices to learn how to act solely for the allure of fame and wealth. \u201cYou are supposed to come to the industry to improve and refine your talent. Many individuals, after hearing that Genevieve [Nnaji] is a millionaire and Omotola [Ekeinde] is a billionaire, borrow wigs and try to deceive themselves by joining the movie industry,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p>Dedication and education were focal points in Kanayo\u2019s address.<\/p>\n<p>He challenged the idea of people entering Nollywood on a whim, urging them to recognize the commitment required to excel in the profession. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t really matter if you studied medicine and want to pursue acting. But please, don\u2019t do it because you are facing difficulties or your business has stopped thriving,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kanayo O.
