Successful Nigerian artistes are either prostitute or homosexual – Nollywood filmmaker

Actor and movie director, Pascal Atuma has said one has to be a prostitute or semi-prostitute to be successful in the Nigerian movie industry.

Atuma said Nollywood is controlled by pimps and that upcoming actors and filmmakers should not be deceived by the glamorous lifestyles they see from the outside.

In an interview, the filmmaker said, “If you are not a full time or semi-prostitute, you will not make it in Nollywood. Our ladies are using what they have to get what they want. Even some of the guys who can use their anus are the ones making it in Nollywood.

“I am being very real here and they make it look as if they are doing well but they are not, they are suffering. Let’s stop deceiving the younger ones by keeping it real. We have to let the younger ones know how it is and what it is.”

The director of ‘My American Nurse’ dared anyone to challenge him on his comment, saying he’s ready to debate a contrary opinion.
