Basketmouth Criticizes Nollywood for Failing to Showcase Nigeria’s Culture In TV Shows
Bright Okpocha, widely known as Basketmouth, has criticized Nigerian filmmakers for failing to highlight the country’s vibrant culture in their movies.
The renowned comedian and filmmaker voiced his disappointment during an interview with Hip TV, where he discussed the missed opportunities by some filmmakers to positively represent Nigeria’s heritage, particularly in epic movies.
Basketmouth lamented that many of the recent epic films lack authenticity and fail to reflect the depth of Nigerian culture.
Instead, he argued, they often come across as overly theatrical or staged.
Sharing his thoughts, he said, “We had a golden opportunity to showcase our culture, but many filmmakers missed the mark.
Most of the epic movies I’ve watched look more like stage plays than real representations of our heritage.
It’s disheartening to see such potential go to waste.”
He added, “I’ve watched several epic movies, and very few have left a lasting impression on me.
We had a great chance to make an impact, but it feels like we blew it.
However, I believe there’s still time to turn things around and get it right.”
Mrs Jeannette Kagame, Rwanda First Lady, makes headlines as she was spotted at Davido’s tour concert in Kigali.

Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan revealed that he was the one who called for the arrest of activist Harrison Gwamnishu, who is currently in custody in Benin, Edo State.
“He was arrested yesterday night. In all honesty, I initiated the call that led to his arrest. I did. And first of all, I’m really disappointed in everything, but I would wait for him to come out, and this time, I would want him to use his mouth to say the truth about what happened in Auchi.”
VeryDarkMan revealed that he made the call because the activist was lying instead of revealing the truth.
Media personality Dorcas Shola Fapson, also known as DSF, gives advice to Nigerians regarding relocating abroad.
During a recent podcast episode, the lady advised Nigerians that if they are living comfortably and earning well in Nigeria, then there is no need to relocate out.
She said: “People think you’re abroad and you’re making pounds. They could be abroad doing a cleaner job, making however much per hour. You probably have better opportunities here in Nigeria.”
She spoke on the misconception of relocating out and how most of it is not real or no one emphasizes on the hard part.
