Majid Michel Calls Nollywood Comparisons "Stupid

Majid Michel, a veteran actor from Ghana, expressed his disapproval of the comparisons made between the Nigerian and Ghanaian movie industries during an interview with Y1079 FM Accra. He labeled these comparisons as "stupid," arguing that they are unfair due to the significant population difference between the two countries.

Michel pointed out that Nigeria has a population exceeding 200 million, while Ghana's population is less than 40 million. He stated that this demographic disparity increases the likelihood of Nigeria having more talented actors and filmmakers.

Michel further emphasized that it is unreasonable for Ghanaians to compare themselves with any established nation, noting that countries with long-standing leadership have developed robust systems over centuries, while Ghana is still in its formative stages of governance. He concluded that such comparisons are not only unfair but also reflect a misunderstanding of the underlying demographic and systemic factors.
