Legendary actor, Jide Kosoko is currently unhappy with the infiltration
of Chinese and Indians in the movie industry. In his words, these
nationals would only destroy our culture.
He said, “One thing people are not talking about is an alarming trend
happening in our movie industry now. It is a major challenge that I
would want to address because people are not talking about it.
This problem is getting bigger than piracy and the government should
please look into it. We heard that the Chinese people are bringing in
their films but they lip sync Yoruba language. That means that you could
be watching a Chinese film but they would be speaking Yoruba language.
There are also Indian movies like that.
This trend would destroy our culture. It means that whenever our
children watch these movies, they would believe that whatever is done
there is part of the Yoruba culture. It is something that the government
must quickly look into. Also, it would dent our economy because they
would take our money away.
When they are bringing in these films into our country, it is a
complete job so they are not employing anybody here. They are only here
to collect our money. We all know that the moment Chinese people enter
any industry, it is finished.”
