Movie Producer Guru Zeb Ejiro Says Nollywood ''Actresses Misbehave Because They Date Politicians..''

YES!International Mag recently interviewed talented movie producer Zeb Ejiro and in this chit-chat Zeb Ejiro indirectly calls out Nollywood in its entirety.

He kind of affirms in another tone what Movie director Blessing Egbe said a few days back when she indrectly called out Nollywood actresses for sleeping around for money and fame...Zeb however refers to both male and female..LOL

In the long interview Zeb Ejiro says

''There are a lot of people who never dreamt of being what they are today.

Suddenly, they found themselves there. People are running after them. I need to see you and all that. They start seeing themselves above god. That’s where they get it wrong. The movie industry did not start with the stars that are there today. It started with others. When we were talking, we mentioned a name – somebody you saw some days ago in Ikeja trekking or something. If somebody had told that person that at one time, this is how it’s gonna be, the person will not believe." 

"Where they get it wrong is that they see themselves above god, they see themselves above the industry. People who suffered to make them who they are, they dump those people, they don’t respect them. You are doing something today, maybe a child’s naming ceremony, marriage or whatever, they don’t attend. They don’t come, they don’t need you anymore! Because the politicians are giving them so much money, the politicians are buying them cars; female politicians are buying the male stars cars, homes and what have you. 

The male politicians are buying the female ones whatever they want. So, suddenly, they don’t need the producer anymore. They can even make bigger movies than you now because one politician will give them N100 million and you are looking for N15 million to do a blockbuster. So, suddenly, they find out that they are bigger than you. Not just you; they are bigger than the industry. 

They start to equate themselves with god and forget that these politicians will only use you while you are the reigning star. They will flock around you for that period of time. Immediately somebody else springs up, they will dump you and go to that person. I know a lot of these stars that are now calling me to say Zeb, I heard you are doing something, you are not calling us. Why? Because they are not getting jobs anymore; they are not relevant anymore; the politicians are not giving them money anymore, because the politicians have now seen younger people that they are frolicking with. I think the banes of the movie industry are the Nigerian politicians. That’s the truth!".

*Oh well,it is only an insider who knows what he really means that will agree with him.All these Nollywood celebs buying houses and cars everyday this explains how they make their monies.I respect everyones hustle so i am just gonna keep my tongue in cheek and say that Nollywood stars should stop biting the fingers that fed them....Zeb Ejiro has made a lot of people stars in Nollywood!

Mr. Zeb Ejiro is one of the biggest film makers that Africa has produced and there should not be any contest about that. From Isoko in Delta State, the father of seven who journeyed from zero to hero still holds the yet-to-be-beaten record of creating the longest running soap opera (Ripples) on national television.He is the brain behind Hit movies like Domitilla, Sakobi, Goodbye Tomorrow, Intimate Strangers,Candlelight and Gentle Solution....can you beat this record?Kudos Zeb!
