Funke Akindele Opens Up About Her Unique Movie Promotion Strategy
Nigerian actress Funke Akindele has explained why she promotes her movies by creating dance content.
She shared that the idea was to capture the audience’s attention and create awareness for her films. While she received criticism for the videos, she clarified that they were simply a marketing strategy.
“I did Battle on Buka Street and I didn’t have the budget for PR and marketing. So I just did a backdrop in my sitting room in my house and I put the camera there. Stop belittling my work. It’s not dancing. It’s hard work.
“If you don’t feel like you want to jump on it to promote your movie, you’re welcome. But you don’t have to dance. Create your own ideas. Come up with something different.”
Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has revealed that she once had the chance to become a billionaire through the political field but turned it down.
She shared the reason she turned it down, saying it was because of her principles. She also shared that she would have compromised her principles if she had gone down that path.
“I tell people that if I wanted to be a billionaire, I could have been one easily. I’ve been offered that opportunity through politics, but I chose not to take it because it would compromise my principles.”
Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has spoken about why many filmmakers, actors, and actresses have taken to filming content for YouTube.
He revealed that it is all about the dollar exchange rate on YouTube.
“Nigerian filmmakers are rushing to YouTube because of the dollar exchange rate. At N1,400 to $1, they celebrate 1 million views because it can bring in about $10,000. But if the dollar falls to N200, everyone will run away from YouTube.”
