Speaking about the differences, good and bad, she sees happening in Nollywood and why unlike before, she can no longer eat and drink in the homes of her colleagues, Ngozi Nwosu said:

NGOZI NWOSU: A lot [has changed in Nollywood]. You see, we started with VHS. So when you talk of improvement, there’s been a lot. The movie industry has improved tremendously.

But, the problem is that before we used to work with time, we used to rehearse and discuss as well. When a writer brings a script, we put it on the table for people to talk about it. But today, it’s not like that. A lot of people who are not supposed to be producers are now producers. Wishy-washy stories every day. There are some stories you read and you know immediately this is from foreign movies. They are not relatable. People have become lazy. They don’t want to research again because they are after the money.

We no longer relate as we used to anymore. We used to go to our fellow actors’ houses and drink water but you can’t do that anymore because you don’t know who to trust. All leaves are lying down but you don’t know the one with a stomach ache.

People in our time were more careful with how they represented themselves but now everybody just does whatever they want. Today if you like, be naked, no one cares.
