Kunle Remi: Not All Films Are Cinema-Worthy
Nollywood actor Kunle Remi believes that not every film labeled as cinematic truly deserves the title. In an interview with Hip TV, he pointed out that many Nigerians, including filmmakers, often confuse TV-quality productions with genuine cinematic experiences.
Remi used director Kunle Afolayan as an example, noting that Afolayan’s work exemplifies true cinema, while he might not be as successful with TV projects due to his focus on cinematic filmmaking. Remi also mentioned that he can easily identify rushed and poorly executed films, finding it humorous when producers claim to shoot cinema films in just five days.
Remi emphasized that his intention is not to discourage emerging filmmakers but to encourage them to accept constructive criticism. He urged filmmakers to understand the difference between cinema and TV films, which he believes is essential for the growth of the industry. Remi advised filmmakers not to take offense when their work is critiqued, as this feedback is a valuable part of the learning process.
Controversial Nigerian singer Portable recently expressed disappointment after meeting Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, during a visit to Edo State.
Portable encountered Obi in Benin over the weekend, where Obi was supporting the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate, Olumide Akpata.
At the same time, Portable was in town for a performance.
In a viral video circulating on social media, Portable is seen bowing and greeting Obi beside his car, showcasing his respect.
However, in a separate video shared later, the singer voiced his dissatisfaction, stating that Obi did not offer him any money during their meeting.
Comparing Obi to President Bola Tinubu, Portable told his crew that if they had met Tinubu, he believed they would have received some form of monetary gift.
He expressed his disappointment, saying, “Obi cannot give us anything. Obi didn’t give us anything. If it was Tinubu, he would have given us something.”
The incident quickly gained attention online, with fans and observers weighing in on Portable’s reaction.
While some defended his candid remarks, others criticized the expectation of financial rewards from political figures.
This encounter highlights the contrasting approaches of political leaders and the expectations of some individuals in the entertainment industry.
