Leila Djansi Resurfaces, Says Ghanaian & Nigeria Actors/Film Makers Must Stop Acting STUPID

Film-maker Leila Djansi is back and this time, she is not the nonsense on the plate—-she is rather pointing out the nonsensical habit of the many Ghana/Nigeria actors and film makers…

She takes a hit at the unneeded trips these people continue to take with the little money they earn, forgetting that they can use it to improve themselves….

Check out what Leila wrote below…

Do qoute me anywhere on this. It’s about time someone said this. My fellow film industry folks in Ghana and Nigeria, especially actors. Enough with the cars, shoes, bags, clothes and needless vacations.

You don’t do these cos you deserve them but cos of the need to show off and that’s some high level of insecurity you need checked. You spend money you make from doing some crappy material on designers who take that money, go on vacations with their fellow men, whom they have married and have sex with or fellow women… (None of my business tho. Just sayin’).

Instead of sitting by the TV and acquiring an american accent, or seeing your friend off to the airport and going back home doing ‘innit or yeah mehnn’, or heck, traveling to Atlanta for 2 weeks and returning with a new york accent why not spend that money on accent elimination classes? Or invest in a simple program like Rosetta Stone, which helps you become versatile.

It is hard to market African films to the world because the diction is so awkward. Actors don’t speak English comfortably. They prefer make-up and clothes to character enhancing. They can already imagine the red carpets and star treatment. It’s making movie making difficult! Learn from people like Idris Elba, Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Thandie Newton.

They all have their own accents from their countries, but their accent changes with any role they take. Thus they can be British, African, American. I watched a Nigerian film set in 1886 and the King had an American accent. Haba. This is tiring. Really.
