In other news, veteran Nollywood actor, Keppy Ekpeyong-Bassey has berated preachers who claim that Nollywood projects witchcraft with its movies.
The actor stated this while responding to the question of a student of the Africa Film Academy training, who asked if truly there is witchcraft in Nollywood as a popular pastor alleged.
Reacting, Ekpeyong, argued that Nollywood is the second largest employer of Labour in Nigeria outside the civil service, adding that only a stupid person would claim that there is witchcraft in the industry.
In his response, the actor said,
“The industry in Nollywood is the second largest employer of labour in Nigeria outside the civil service. No other industry employs labour more than Nollywood. What kind of stupid person will now say that there is witchcraft in Nollywood? Any pastor that says that is a liar. Take it from me.”
