“Most of the movies we are putting out on #Netflix are becoming painful to see,“ he said.

 

He urged movie producers to shy away from producing movies that viewers would detest, adding that such a great opportunity should be utilised to literally reach to most parts of the world.

 

“Everybody want their ‘shit’ on Netflix – I suspect for $$$ and bragging rights.”

 

“I hope creative producers/directors/writers will start putting out good movies for them to save us the shame and ridicule that can befall #Nollywood before it is too late.”

 

“Lazy and predictable storylines, horrible extras, disastrous costumes, etc. This opportunity is golden!,” he wrote.
