Talking in a latest episode of ‘The place Is The Lie’ podcast, Odega claimed that Nollywood throughout his days was higher than Nollywood of as we speak.

He defined that again when he and his contemporaries held sway, Nollywood used to make unforgettable movies however these days, Nollywood movies are largely unhealthy.

“Again then, one script would give us one unforgettable film. However now, one script can provide you seven unhealthy movies, and that’s not proper. Nollywood again then, is much better than the Nollywood of as we speak,” the actor mentioned.

Odega acknowledged that he was one of the pioneers of Nollywood, stressing that he was within the film trade earlier than Nollywood grew to become massive.

“I used to be amongst of the individuals who made Nollywood. After we began, Nollywood was only a phenomenon. Our organisation was known as Nigerian Actors Guild, NAG, earlier than we later modified it to Actors’ Guild Of Nigeria, AGN.

“It was after then that Nollywood got here. So, I’m one of the pioneers of Nollywood. I’ve been within the film trade for 30 years,” he defined.
