Nollywood politics, is more than Government politics – Tayo Faniran

Nollywood actor Tayo Faniran has accused the Nigerian film industry of being affected by politics, favouritism and rigging, saying talent alone does not determine how far an actor, director or producer can go

Speaking on TVC Entertainment News, Faniran said the challenges in Nollywood are similar to the political problems Nigerians complain about, but on a much bigger scale.

He said:

“When you talk about the politics of our country, like government and all of that, and what we are complaining about today as citizens, in Nollywood we’re facing times ten of that.

“Someone like me, if Nollywood were to be strictly about talent, I should be far beyond where I am now.

“Another thing is that there’s a lot of rigging going on. In the industry right now, the film producers that you guys see and you know as the biggest are not the most talented film producers. Same with director, same with actor. Awards are rigged too”.
