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.”
Nigerian singer Timaya has spoken about elections, urging Nigerians to think carefully about their choices and the longer-term consequences of their votes.
Speaking on the state of the country, he said Nigerians have choices and should be intentional about them.
“Nobody dey advise anybody. If na wetin you dey find to chop now put for your pocket, na your business. No be one day o. Na another 4 years of hardship. If you know what’s good, you have to vote right.”
“I dey travel abroad dey see wetin dey happen na. Rich people dey abroad dey no dey stay for Nigeria, these politicians. Dey just dey work for Nigeria.”
Nigerian singer Rema has sparked reactions online after revealing the streamers he watches for entertainment.
The singer shared a list of popular streamers he follows, naming Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat and Okiki.
“The only streamers I fvck with are Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat, and Okiki.”
After he mentioned his list, Nigerians reacted and shared how some notable Nigerian streamers were not on the list, with many calling out their favourites for not being recognised by the singer.
Nigerian singer and producer Young Jonn has made headlines after calling on his colleague, Blaqbonez, for a possible collaboration.
The singer Young Jonn took to social media and excitedly shared “I need like 5 bad friends way we go dey move in bulk!” Young Jonn wrote.
Blaqbonez then replied, wanting to join: “Oya, make we dey together, sing as one.”
The singer replied with an old post from 2015 that said, “Go sing as one with Coublon.”
