Popular comedian and filmmaker, Basketmouth, has spoken out against his colleagues in the film industry, accusing them of neglecting to showcase Nigeria’s vibrant culture in their movies.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, Basketmouth expressed his disappointment with the lack of cultural representation in recent epic movies. He believes that filmmakers have wasted opportunities to promote Nigeria’s culture positively.
“I believe that we still have the opportunity to get it right,” Basketmouth said. “But we had a great opportunity to showcase our culture, and most of the filmmakers blew it. They just ruined that great chance because I see epic movies, and they look like stage plays.”
Basketmouth emphasized that only a few movies have impressed him so far, and he hopes that the industry will take another chance to showcase Nigeria’s rich culture.
