Women control entertainment industry – Bovi

by admin

Nigerian stand-up comedian, Bovi Ugboma, has claimed that the the entertainment industry is controlled by women.

He made the claim while featuring on TVC programme, ‘Your View’, recently.

He noted that women sometimes complain of inequality even in industries where they are already dominating because they are used to demanding for equality.

“Women need to understand that in areas where they are fighting for equality, sometimes, they may have conquered but because they are used to fighting [for equality], they don’t know that they’ve won,” Ugboma said.

“You talk about the entertainment industry and how can it help women. But I observed 10 or 15 years ago that women actually control the entertainment industry. So what are we talking about?

“I’m talking as far back as from the time of Amaka Igwe. The biggest box office hit is a woman, Funke Akindele. The second biggest box office hit is also a woman, Mo Abudu. They [women] are the biggest producers. Bolanle Austin-Peters is one of the biggest producers. Jade Osibero is one of the biggest directors since Kemi Adetiba. The biggest film festival is by Chioma Ode. So what are you saying?

“We also have the likes of Omoni Oboli, Uche Jombo, Genevieve Nnaji. So you need to understand that, women are running the entertainment industry. So when I see young girls complaining about male producers demanding sex for roles, I’m like, ‘yes, it’s true. But who have you cried to? Who have you spoken to? You [women] own the industry’.”
