Majid Michel Critiques Ghana-Nigeria Film Industry Comparisons

Majid Michel, a veteran actor from Ghana, expressed his views on the unfairness of comparing Ghana's film industry to Nigeria's Nollywood during an interview on Y1079 FM in Accra. He argued that such comparisons are illogical, primarily due to the vast difference in population sizes.

Michel pointed out that Ghana has a population of under 40 million, while Nigeria's population exceeds 200 million, approaching 300 million. He illustrated this disparity by stating that with more people, Nigeria is likely to produce a greater number of filmmakers and talents.

Michel also criticized the tendency to compare developing African institutions with older, more established foreign nations, citing differences in development systems and governance histories as additional reasons for the flawed comparisons.
