Actor, Uche Maduagwu has slammed new nollywood actresses, stating that they have brought shame and mediocrity to the industry.
Taking to his instagram page, he said new nollywood actresses don't join the industry because of the passion and creativity but to go after wealthy married men, which was unlike before when the industry was respected all over the world.
He said veteran actresses like Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Rita Dominic, Kate Henshaw, Ini Edo amongst others brought respect to nollywood, but the respect is now being spoilt by new actresses.
In his words,
"Genevieve and other brought respect to nollywood. They join am because of dem passion and creativity but today. All this new nollywood actress don bring shame to am. 90% of dem join this industry to catch wealthy married men."
"During the time of Genevieve Nnaji, Aunty Omotola, Rita Dominic, Sister Kate, Sister Ini Edo just to mention but a few, nollywood was respected all over the world because of the standard and meritocracy of our movies, but with the influx of the so called new nollywood actresses, mediocrity is now the order of the day, it is like they pack the whole Allen Avenue and Pekas ambassadors into our industry, the way dem dey look for wealthy married men with the speed of light is preposterously worrisome to say the least, we use better technology and spend bigger financially on movies but the quality of acting and professionalism has dropped drastically."
