“Nollywood is filled with an army of daughters of Jezebel looking for directors and producers to fall” Actor Charles Inojie reveals
Nollywood actor, Charles Inojie has expressed concern for the increasing rate at which many are entering into Nollywood.
The movie star, in an interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, lamented over the rate at which upcoming actresses are using the industry as grounds for their businesses.
According to him, this set of people don’t have an interest in Nollywood but are only using the industry as an advert for other businesses.
Describing them as daughters of Jezebel, he stated that they are on the hunt for Nollywood directors and producers to fall. He noted how this set of people can do anything to be in front of the camera.
“Those set of people who pay movie producers to star in a movie, are only chasing after title. They just want to hold onto it as a side hustle, as many of them are into businesses. They just need a tag to Nollywood.
It came into a time in the industry when there was an influx, it was as if Devil opened gate for angels to come in. And these people aren’t looking to build a career, they just want something to hold and say they are actresses to further their business.
There are many daughters of Jezebel in Nollywood. They can do anything just to be in front of the camera. And when you meet a character that isn’t properly formed as a producer/director, you will fall.
Taking to the comment section, many concurred with him as they noted how many are calling themselves actresses, but have rarely starred in movies.
One Lady Esty wrote, “That’s why actress full everywhere but na 5 we dey see for movies
One Desmond Alex wrote, “Where is the lie
One Peaceful Baddie wrote, “And where’s the lie? They are just there to advertise what their mama gave them
One Mheenarh wrote, “No lie told, Nollywood na just side hustle for most. Main hustle dey
One Omidan Mide wrote, “He isn’t even capping”.
Just days back, Kanayo Kanayo had also lamented over the state of things in the industry.
The veteran, in an interview with Afia Tv, stated that Nollywood shouldn’t be a ground for Brazilian Butt Life (BBL), sex workers, Instagram stars, and homosexuality.
Noting how the industry is a place for creativity, learning, and building one’s talents, he called out social media influencers, who are now taking over Nollywood, for being the biggest cause of disrespect in the industry, as he issued them a word of advice.
He, however, made it known that anyone is free to enter the film industry, but it should be based on talent.

Several years after she quit professional acting, Veteran actress, Liz Benson, has returned to Nollywood.
Rejoining the industry, Benson featured in a new film, “A Mother’s Son,” produced by actress Mercy Johnson and directed by Vincent De Anointed.
In a video posted on Johnson’s Instagram account to welcome the seasoned thespian back to her first love, the cast of the movie was seen expressing excitement as they welcomed the screen diva.
According to her, the star-studded movie features a seasoned cast, including Mike Godson, Mercy Johnson, Evia Simon, Ozioma Maurice, and George Inaibeh, among others.
Liz Benson, who was surprised at the warm welcome by her colleagues, said, “All the big people in Nollywood are here.
“You guys are doing exploits; God bless you. It’s nice to see all of you in real life.
“I am meeting all of you for the first time. But I have come to see my daughter (Mercy Johnson).”
Excitement is all over the place as Nollywood actress Susan Peters hints at remarrying.
The movie star dropped the hint, while sharing a photo of her in a traditional wedding outfit via her Instagram page.
She announced that her dating era had come to an end.
She captioned the photo; “My dating era has come to an end, thanking those who participated.”
It would be recalled that Peters got married to her Dutch lover in a traditional wedding ceremony held in 2015 in Benue State.
Their marriage hit the rocks a few years later, partly due to Peters’ reluctance to sacrifice her acting career and join her husband abroad.
In 2023, Peters blamed her ex-mother-in-law for the failure of her marriage, claimed she never accepted her because of her race.
Her Nollywood colleagues are all over the comment section hailing and congratulating the Idoma actress.
Superstar singer and Grammy Award winner, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu aka Burna Boy, says he is not ready to be a father yet.
Burna Boy revealed this on Wednesday, while responding to a curious fan, during an Instagram live session.
The 32-year-old said he was not ready to have kids yet because he could not give them the attention they deserve.
He further dismissed rumours that he doesn’t have the ability to father a child.
He said, “Why haven’t I had kids yet? Bro, because I don’t want to have kids yet. Have you seen my mum the way she loves me? Have you seen my dad the way he loves me? I know I can’t give that to anyone right now with the life I’m living.
“So until I’m settled and I can be there for my children everyday, I’m not having no kid. I feel like my kids deserve better than I got. And I got both my mum and dad so you understand?
“When I see the bants and the things people say [about me not being able to have kids], I said this is unimportant. Let’s assume that it is true that I couldn’t even have kids, you know that there’s something called IVF? But that is not even true.”
Burna Boy rose to stardom in 2012 after releasing “Like to Party”, the lead single from his debut studio album L.I.F.E (2013).
