Leila Djansi
Nollywood actress Stella Damasus is not happy with Ghanaian filmmaker Leila Djansi for daring to call Nollywood derogatory names.
In a documentary Jimmy Goes To Nollywood, Djansi h
ad spoken ill about Nollywood in a very bad way. Leila Djansi had said that new film producers should not be put under the blanket of Nollywood as that would not help their reputation. She said the new producers should be called independent producers as Nollywood carries negative connotation. She had also said that the new producers aligning themselves with Nollywood was as bad as a mother naming her son Hitler.
In a video posted on her YouTube channel a visibly angry Damasus addressed these negative statements made by Djansi about the Nigerian film industry.
Damasus reminded Djansi of the role Nollywood had played in African film industry. She also reminded her that two of her movies were embraced because she paraded Nollywood actors. Not only that, she also reminded her that the best Ghollywood actors are products of Nollywood where they also ply their trade.
Many Ghanaian actors ply their trade in Nollywood among them is Van Vicker, Nadia Buari. Juliet Ibrahim, Yvonne Nelson and many more.
