Nollywood Actor, Uche Maduagwu has alleged that most new actresses in the movie industry only joined to entice wealthy married men.
Maduagwu who is also an actor in the industry noted that the platform was respected when it had Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, and co as young actresses compared to this time.
He viewed that with the new set of actresses, Nollywood has lost its respect.
He said:
“During the time of Genevieve Nnaji, Aunty Omotola, Rita Dominic, sister Kate, sister Ini Edo just to mention but a few, #nollywood was RESPECTED all over the #world because of the standard and meritocracy of our movies, but with the influx of the so-called NEW nollywood actresses, mediocrity is now the order of the day, it is like they pack the whole Allen Avenue and Pekas ambassadors into our industry, the way dem dey look for wealthy #MARRIED men with the speed of light is preposterously worrisome to say the least, we use better #technology and spend bigger financially on movies but the quality of acting and professionalism has dropped drastically.“
