Nollywood is filled with people with filthy hearts – Actress Chioma Ifemeludike

The Anambra State born script interpreter and activist expressed her thoughts in a recent interview.

She said, “Nollywood is not a bad platform, just filled with people with filthy hearts and people with very bad intentions. It’s not bad for people who want to come and chase their career, and it’s not bad for people who want to use it to send positive messages out. The platform is open to anyone, the good and the bad. It depends on what, whoever, who is coming to be part of this platform is bringing on the table. The only problem is how are we using this platform. The leadership and the people at the hems of affairs; what are they doing with it to make sure that the contents that are going out are influencing young people positively, that the contents are teaching these young people the right things they need to know.”

Advising the younger generation to look beyond the flashy things they see celebrities display on social media, Ifemeludike warned that ‘desperation is the killer’.

“The young people need to look at my life and to learn. And desperation is the killer. When you get desperate in this industry, you’re setting yourself up for damages. There are so many opportunities open to young people today. You don’t have to come and start looking for a producer or a director.

It doesn’t mean you’re not going to be part of them, but you can start from wherever you are. Use your phones, there’s YouTube, there’s TikTok, there’s Instagram, there’s Facebook. All these platforms are monetized. Use them to your advantage. Create, be creative,” she asserted.
