PIRACY CAUSES MASSIVE DAMAGES AND LOSSES – DEYEMI OKANLAWON
Read Time:58 Second
Actor and filmmaker Deyemi Okanlawon has thanked a fan for supporting anti-piracy initiatives.
He emphasized the difficulties faced by Nollywood producers, their lack of financial and governmental assistance, and the destructive effects of piracy.
Due to financial limitations, a fan had contemplated viewing a pirated version of Deyemi’s film.
However, another fan, @l444nnu, offered free tickets to five people, discouraging piracy.
Deyemi expressed gratitude for his generosity, saying it gave him fresh hope for Nigerians.
He wrote on Instagram: “Nollywood producers, especially newbies like myself and my wonderful partners at @bleedingartproduction who try to tell global-level stories, get next to no support from government, financial institutions (forget all that creative industry fund matter), or even industry players, and we end up spending all we have to produce these films. Yet it seems the same Nigerians we love to serve have no idea how much damage and loss their participation in piracy causes our industry.
“@iamjoyessien, thank you for understanding and learning, and @l444nnu, thank you so much for your kindness, love, and support; you have no idea how much you’ve renewed my hope in our people! I am forever grateful!”.
