Emeka Ike is one of the Nigerian stars who made a name for himself in Nollywood movies.
With over 100 movies to his credit, Emeka Ike has revealed some of his thoughts about Nollywood.
In an interview with Punch published in January 2019, the actor touched on his sincere thoughts about the fast-growing Nigerian movie industry.
Here are the six things Emeka Ike thinks of the Nigerian movie industry.
1. State of Nollywood
The ‘Stigma’ actor bared his mind on the state of Nollywood saying, “The industry is no longer what it used to be. Producers don’t make (as much) movies anymore; the issue of being poorly paid is out of it. I haven’t made movies in over six years. However, last year, I was begged to go to a location for a movie which is all over the Internet now.”
2. The new wave
On the new wave in the industry, which includes the rise of cable television, Emeka said, “Cable television has taken over everywhere and the producers and marketers that used to be popular then are no longer famous because nobody is buying their CDs.”
