Veteran Nigerian actor, Norbert Young has recently
expressed his feelings for Nigeria’s movie industry, saying there’s
no Nollywood but rather ‘Igbowood‘.
Nobert Young revealed this in an interview, saying the industry
has become stereotypical with the same faces doing the same things over and
over again.
‘You say you have actors and celebrities, how many actors can
you count?
The same three or four people in every movie, the same three or four
girls in every movie. The same story about love or hatred or betrayal or this
and that. Is that an industry? Industry of just four people and one tribe. I
have said somewhere that it should be called Igbowood just like you have
Yorubawood and Hausawood. It is not Nollywood if Nollywood represents
Nigeria’, Young said.
Young is 53 years old and hails from Delta State. He graduated
from the University of Benin, Nigeria and studied Theater arts. He is one of
Nigeria’s most experienced and professional actors ever.
