Nollywood actress Uche Montana has warned producers to stop prioritizing social media popularity over acting ability. She recently had her say during an interview with media personality Davibes Olamide, and fans have been reacting.
Blasting the Nigerian movie industry’s growing emphasis on Instagram followers, Montana insisted that talent should remain an important consideration when it comes to the selection of actors.
The moviestar added that overlooking talent and focusing on numbers will more than likely affect the quality of our projects in the long run.
Her words, “The Nigerian movie industry needs to stop picking numbers on Instagram over talent.”
Asked if she would pursue success even if it meant losing her friends, “Without my friends would i be broke?
Because I don’t want to be broke.
You can’t quantify friendship with the things of the world . Because good friendship means the world.
The biggest lie about being a celebrity is that you get things for free.
One thing fame can’t buy is peace good health.
People only respect you when you have value.”
