Veteran actress and media personality, Nana Ama McBrown
Veteran actress and media personality, Nana Ama McBrown, has explained why she has never acted in a Nigerian movie, and why she does not aspire to.
According to the celebrated actress, Nigerians and the Nigerian entertainment industry have over the years expressed no interest in supporting creatives from Ghana.
Backing her claims that Nigerians do not support acts from Ghana like Ghanaians do for their stars, she recounted how a Sarkodie song being played during a session at the ongoing Big Brother Nigeria reality television show was quickly switched when they realised the song was by a Ghanaian.
She said it is the deliberate attempt to not promote any Ghanaian act in Nigeria that has prevented her from starring in their movies.
“I am not a TV fan, but my relatives at home compelled me to subscribe to DSTV, and there’s this particular program I wanted them to tune in for Maxy, but I realised that they had switched the program to Big Brother.
“So, they said the housemates were having a weekend party, so while watching the show, I heard the DJ play a tune by Sarkodie, and immediately I heard it. I mean, in less than a minute, the DJ quickly switched the song, and that is why I have never acted in their movies; they don’t support us,” Nana Ama McBrown recounted.
Popular entertainment pundit and artiste manager, Kwesi Ernest, who was also on the show, agreed with Nana Ama McBrown that Nigerians are only interested in promoting content through their creatives.
