Nigerian comedian, Bovi has come out to say that women control the entertainment industry they are fighting to equalise. He recently had his say while speaking on TVC’s Your View, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the biggest box office hit was produced by Funke Akindele, and the second biggest box office hit was done by Mo Abudu, so he does not understand how women cannot see that they are already controlling the movie industry.
Bovi added that women are just so used to fighting that they don’t know when they’ve already won.
His words, “Women need to understand that in areas where they are fighting for equality, sometimes they may have conquered but because they are used to fighting, they don’t know that they’ve won.
You talk about the entertainment industry and how it can it help women. But I observed 10 or 15 years ago that women actually control the entertainment industry. So what are we talking about?
I’m talking as far back as from the time of Amaka Igwe. The biggest box office hit is a woman, Funke Akindele. The second biggest box office hit is also a woman, Mo Abudu. They are the biggest producers. Bolanle Austin-Peters is one of the biggest producers. Jade Osibero is one of the biggest directors since Kemi Adetiba. The biggest film festival is by Chioma Ode. So what are you saying?
We also have the likes of Omoni Oboli, Uche Jombo, and Genevieve Nnaji. So you need to understand that, women are running the entertainment industry. So when I see young girls complaining about male producers demanding sex for roles, I’m like, ‘Yes, it’s true. But who have you cried to? Who have you spoken to? You own the industry.”
WOW.
